New air quality paper published by Meteosim
Meteosim, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), published an interesting article in which it analyses and evaluates the coupling between a photochemical model and a model of finite elements of application on air quality. This study was previously presented at the prestigious HARMO congress in its 2017 edition.
