Model aproach NEMO (Network Emission Model, Rexeis et al. 2005) enables detailed calculation of traffic emissions for different vehicle categories for large road networks. GRAMM (Graz Mesoscale Model, Oettl 2000) prognostic non-hydrostatic. terrain following grid (tetrahedronal, Almbauer 1995). GRAL (Graz Lagrangian Model, Oettl et al. 2000, 2002, 2003a,b,c) all wind speed (>70% u<1.5m/s), stability conditions topography line-sources, point-sources, tunnel portals, area sources.
