Modeling the Air Pollution and Weather Feedback from Wildfire Emissions with WRF–Chem over Greece
Wildfires stand as significant contributors to atmospheric aerosols, exerting a substantial influence on air quality and radiative forcing. In our research, we utilized the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF−Chem) to delve into the repercussions of wildfires on aeroso...

| description | Wildfires stand as significant contributors to atmospheric aerosols, exerting a substantial influence on air quality and radiative forcing. In our research, we utilized the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF−Chem) to delve into the repercussions of wildfires on aerosol pollution and meteorological interactions. Our study centered on Greece, serving as a poignant test case. We focus on the summer of 2021, a period marked by intense wildfire occurrences within the nation. |
