Training description
Street-in-Grid model (SinG) is a new multi-scale model of urban air pollution (Kim et al.,
2018). SinG dynamically combines an Eulerian model (Polair3D) with a street-network model
(MUNICH). This combined model aims at improving urban street-level pollutant concentrations by
modeling both background and street-level concentrations at the same time. The model
development has been conducted in Centre d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Environnement
Atmosphérique (CEREA), joint laboratory of Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and EDF
R& D by funding
of EDF R& D and EDF R& D China. Its first application has been realized over the Paris region.
This training covers topics including SinG concept, how to set up the configurations for a
test simulation and how to generate input data.
Objectives
Introduce the SinG model and its application over the Paris region (Kim
et al., 2018)
Install SinG and run a test case of SinG
Prepare applications of SinG over a particular modeling domain of each participant
