MEGAPOLI 212520 climate. He is Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Group for Aerosols within the Global Atmosphere Watch programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and is President of the Commission of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics of the Swiss Academy of Natural Sciences. He is author of more than 140 peer-reviewed papers. He is the recipient of the 18th Prof. Dr. Vilho Vaisala Award of the WMO. André Prévôt is Head of the Gasphase and Aerosol Chemistry Group at PSI and lecturer at ETH Zurich. His research deals with the characterisation of the chemical composition of aerosols and trace gases and their transformation in the lower troposphere. Advanced methods like aerosol mass spectrometry, 14 C-analyses, synchrotron x-ray fluorescence are used as input for source apportionment studies. Spatial gradients of the chemical composition and physical properties are assessed with our mobile laboratory including fast response instrumentation. The transformation of selected pollutants is investigated in the PSI smog chamber. Finally, a 3-dimensional Eulerian model is used to integrate the atmospheric processes on a larger scale. He is author of more than 60 peer-reviewed papers. Recent and relevant publications Bukowiecki, N., R. Gehrig, M. Hill, P. Lienemann, C.N. Zwicky, B. Buchmann, E. Weingartner, U.

Partner 14: TNO- Built Environment and Geosciences (TNO) Expertise and experience of the organization TNO, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, is one of Europe's leading independent research and development organizations. As of January 1 st , 2005 TNO has a new organizational shape, with five large entities replacing the fifteen former TNO Institutes. One of these, TNO Built Environment and Geosciences (TNO-BEG) contributes to MEGAPOLI. The Business unit Environment, Health and Safety of TNO-BEG is an expert centre and contract research unit for industry and government in the field of sustainable development and environmental research. It has a long lasting experience in compilation of emission inventories to air for priority pollutants, GHG’s, particulate matter (TSP, PM10, PM2.5) heavy metals (HM) and persistent organic pollutants (POP) at international level on various scales and supporting national experts in reporting emission data to e.g., the EU and EMEP programme. under the UNECE Convention on Long Range Transport of Air Pollutants (CLRTAP); Role and contribution TNO will lead the WP on emissions (WP1) and provide high resolution gridded emission data at various scales to the modelling and mitigation WPs. Speciation of relevant fractions of pollutants (e.g. carbonaceous particulate matter) will be given to better estimate the climate forcing and adverse health impacts of these pollutants. To be able to focus on megacities and their impact on (local) climate and air quality high resolution data will be needed. TNO will work on improving the spatial resolution of the gridded emission data to the level of detail needed in WP5 and WP6. TNO will bring its expertise on regional air quality modelling into WP5 using its LOTOS-EUROS model. Staff involved Peter Builtjes has been working in atmospheric chemistry modelling for the last 30 years, and has written over 40 double refereed papers. He is working at TNO, and part-time ( 20 %) at the Free Univ. Berlin as honorary Prof. in Atmospheric Chemistry. He has coordinated several EU-DG Research Projects, most recently the AIR4EU- 6 FP project. Hugo Denier van der Gon is Senior Emission Inventory Expert at TNO and provides emission inventories to modelling groups and / or policy advising bodies such as the UNECE Task Forces on HM and POP, MSC- EAST, EU IP GEMS, German Umwelt Bundesambt (UBA) and Dutch Institutes (RIVM, MNP). He has 83
MEGAPOLI 212520 authored ~ 30 peer-reviewed articles on mechanisms, emission and mitigation of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, particulate matter, heavy metals and POP and participated in 3 EU projects. (FP-5, FP-6). He is a reviewer for the IPCC guidelines (2006) and contributor to IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000) Dick van den Hout is a senior scientist at TNO and has been responsible for improving the user orientation of research in several FP research projects and networks, e.g. the Integaire network on urban air pollution mitigation. Since 1993 he has been the Commission’s primary consultant on the development and implementation of air pollution policies and legislation. He has participated in many international working groups, of which several dealt with abatement strategies. He has been the head of the European Topic Centre on Air Quality and is a visiting Prof. at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. Recent and relevant publications Schaap M., H.A..C.

Partner 15: UK MetOffice (MetO) Expertise and experience of the organization The Met Office has well over 20 years of world-leading expertise in climate modelling. Currently 150 scientists research climate science in the Met Office’s Hadley Centre for Climate Change. The fields represented include climate monitoring, climate modelling, climate variability, quantifying uncertainty, understanding climate change, and climate-chemistry-ecosystem feedbacks. Research on atmospheric composition and climate includes global modelling of aerosol and gas-phase reactive chemical constituents. The focus here is on the direct and indirect radiative and climate impacts of these constituents through their interactions with clouds, terrestrial and ocean ecosystems and the land surface. The atmospheric composition team are currently participating in the EU projects EUCAARI, ACCENT and GEMS. Role and contribution The Met Office will co-lead WP6 and will contribute significantly to WP5. In WP6 the Met Office will lead the work on global climate effects of megacities and will contribute with its HadGEM2 climate model which includes the UKCA package of interactive aerosols and reactive gases. In WP5 the Met Office will contribute to tasks 5.5 and 5.6. Principal personnel involved Dr. William Collins Graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Natural Sciences and a PhD in Particle Physics. He holds an MSc in Weather and Climate from the University of Reading. He has worked in the Met Office for since 1993 and with others built the Met Office tropospheric chemistry transport model. He is involved in the EU EUCAARI project and has previously been involved in STACCATO. He has contributed as a co-author to the IPCC third assessment report, and as an expert reviewer to the IPCC forth assessment report. He has authored, or co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Olivier Boucher Olivier Boucher gained a PhD in Physics in 1995 and an Habilitation in Physics in 2003. He was a junior scientist at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) from 1996 to 2005. He is now a senior scientist at the CNRS on secondment to the Met Office which he joined in 2005 as Head of the “Climate, Chemistry, Ecosystems” team. His main speciality is the study of the climatic effects of aerosols in relation to radiation and clouds. Olivier has been a lead author in the IPCC Special Report on Aviation and the Global Atmosphere and the IPCC Working Group I Third Assessment Report. Dr. Michael Sanderson, D.Phil in Atmospheric Chemistry (1994) has published over 20 articles in peer-reviewed literature in the field of atmospheric chemistry. Research work has included, modelling of global trace gas concentrations, 84
