WRF-Chem output- concentrations for the 4 simulations: reference, urbanization, extension of agricultural areas and more urban parks

<p>We use the WRF-Chem air-quality model with an urban canopy scheme to investigate how land use (urban, agriculture, parks) affects the urban climate and chemical processes (dry deposition, biogenic emissions), resulting in changes in air quality for scenarios proposed by the Urban Master Plan of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. We selected a heatwave period, 4th-7th July 2015, with maximum temperatures reaching 40 &deg;C in the interior of the AMB and 35 &deg;C on the coast. Here we provide averaged model output for the heatwave period for the different pollutants, surface temperature, wind speed, PBLH, deposition, and biogenic emissions under different urban scenarios: reference (REF), urbanization (URB), extension of agriculture (AGR), and increase in urban parks (PARK).<br><br>The results for a period before the heatwave (1-3 July 2015), with temperatures 3-4 degrees lower than during the heatwave, are also provided.&nbsp;<br><br>Land-use and irrigation is also provided for each scenaio.&nbsp;</p>
