Air quality modelling to support policies on atmospheric pollution

Meteorological and air quality simulations on European, Italian, local spatial domain and model validation by measured data. Integrated modelling chain to support policies.

MINNI: integrated assessment model for air quality in Italy

MINNI (National Integrated Model to support International Negotiation on Air Pollution issues) was developed on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (formerly the Ministry of Ecological Transition).
MINNI is a set of models and pre/post processors to select and evaluate the effectiveness of air quality policies at national and regional level, consisting of two main modelling systems: the Atmospheric Modelling System (SMA) and GAINS – Italy.

GAINS-ITALY: model for the integrated assessment of air quality in Italy

GAINS-Italy, developed in collaboration with IIASA, is an integrated assessment model for the elaboration and assessment of future scenarios and alternatives, aligned with the homonymous European model developed by the IIASA.
