Extended abstracts will be combined in a PDF and made available online during the conference. Please use this template and do not change the type setting and formatting to ensure a reasonable consistency in the abstract digital booklet. Individual extended abstracts must not exceed 5 pages in total, exceeding pages will be removed. To ensure proper assignment of your extended abstract, label the file with your name, the topic or special session code your contribution is sorted in and the assigned type “…_oral” or ”…_poster” as requested below.

The underlying driver for all sessions is modelling, understood in general and wide terms, i.e. as modelling system, that includes all components (meteorology, chemistry, dispersion, emissions…) as well as related datasets for evaluation. Harmonisation of modelling approaches encompasses the following activities (not exhaustive): inter-comparison exercises, common evaluation protocols, shared datasets for model evaluation...
Starting from these two key items, the HARMO Conferences build around the following ten key topics.
Topics 1 to 6 address harmonisation of modelling approaches in the following fields:
- T1: Approaches to model evaluation and quality assurance
- T2: Regional / long-range scale modelling
- T3: Urban Scale and Street Canyon Modelling
- T4: Health and exposure assessments
- T5: Inverse modelling, source identification and apportionment
- T6: Dispersion modelling and exposure to accidental releases
Topics 7 and 8 focus on the support to the development of
regulatory models:
- T7: Air pollution management and decision support systems
- T8: Support to EU legislation on air quality modelling
Topics 9 and 10 are dedicated to new advancements and reviews of “golden papers” of the past
- T9: Theoretical studies on atmospheric processes for dispersion modelling
- T10: Highlights of past works, which should not be forgotten
Proposed special Sessions in Harmo23
- S1: Emerging fields in air quality modelling
- S2: Results from MODISAFE Project
The basic criteria when selecting papers for oral presentations is how well they fit into the philosophy of developing an improved modelling culture where modellers as well as regulators and users will efficiently use each other’s experience. When submitting abstracts authors are requested to motivate how their paper relates to the underlying main theme of the conference: Harmonisation within modelling in a broad sense (see abstract submission form).
