A Grid Implementation of Chimere: Ozone Production in Central Italy

  • Conference paper
Computational Science and Its Applications – ICCSA 2009 (ICCSA 2009)

Abstract

A multiscale tridimensional Chemistry and Transport Model (Chimere) has been implemented on two very different scalable cluster. Its input was generated by specific interfaces built by the authors, adaptating meteo, emissions and boundary conditions data provided by different agencies to the needs of the Model. A prototype grid implementation on a segment of the EGEE Grid has been performed. Preliminary results of an application to the Umbria Region ozone production are also presented.
