Summary:
The Forum for Air Quality Modelling (FAIRMODE) is a European network to exchange experiences and competence on the use of air quality models in the context of the Ambient Air Quality Directives. Its purpose is to identify and promote the use of good practices for air quality modelling and to propose harmonized ways to assess the quality of model-based air quality applications by EU Member States. The recommendations in this document are part of FAIRMODE’s contribution to the on-going fitness check of the two EU Ambient Air Quality Directives (Directives 2008/50/EC and 2004/107/EC) initiated by the European Commission. This document provides technical recommendations where the scientific consensus within FAIRMODE indicates that robust conclusions can be drawn, and identifies follow up actions. These recommendations might potentially affect the work of Member States in case they may be requested to be implemented. They may also be relevant to the outcome and follow-up to the fitness check of the Air Quality Directives. Finally, they have implications for the work of the FAIRMODE network itself, and guide future technical discussions
