Project Abstract Future trends of air quality for a variety of pollutants, in 2030 and 2070, using (1) a comprehensive air emissions inventory, (2) an ensemble of global climate models, CSIRO Mk3.5, UKHadCM3, ECHAM5 and GFDL2.1 with the SRES A2 scenario, (3) a regional climate mode, CSIRO CCAM, for downscaling from global to regional scale and (4) a meteorological-chemical transport model, CSIRO TAPM-CTM, for downscaling from regional to urban scale and for modeling multi-phase atmospheric chemistry.

Abstract The dataset provides valuable insights into the future air quality trends in Melbourne, over the next two to six decades. Data derived from a multi-scale dynamical downscaling system, which combines global climate models, regional climate models, and meteorological-chemical transport models. By considering the effects of climate change and changes in emissions, the dataset examines the impact on multiple urban pollutants, including carbon monoxide, ozone, oxides of nitrogen, primary and secondary aerosols, and air toxics. The dataset offers extensive information on exceedance rates against National Ambient Air Quality Standards and changes in population exposure.
