Abstract [sv]

Ozonmedelhalterna förväntas öka markant (1-2% per decennium, fram till 2050) i centrala och södra Europa, framförallt under sommaren. Maximumhalterna ökar mer än medelhalterna. Nordligaste Europa förväntas få minskande halter, speciellt under vår och höst. Östra Europa får minskande ozonhalter under vintern. I södra Skandinavien ser vi bara små förändringar i ozonhalterna under alla årstider. Halten av marknära sekundära inorganiska partiklar (SIA; Secondary Inorganic Aerosols) ökar kraftigt (3-5% per decennium, fram till 2050) i hela kontinentala Europa under alla årstider förutom vinter. Ökningen är störst runt Medelhavet på sommaren, och halterna är mer än 20% högre under 30-års perioden 2021-2050 jämfört med dagens nivåer. 2071-2100 beräknas partikelhalterna under sommaren vara minst 50% högre, jämfört med dagens situation, i stora områden av södra och centrala Europa. Södra Skandinavien torde få en måttlig ökning av SIA under framförallt under vår och sommar. Nordliga delar av modellområdet uppvisar minskande SIA halter under alla årstider. Våtdepositionen av svavel- och kväveföreningar minskar mycket kraftigt i södra och västra Europa under alla årstider, speciellt under den senare delen av simuleringsperioden (2021- 2050 till 2071-2100). Stora områden i och kring Medelhavet samt delar av Frankrike, Belgien och Nederländerna får endast 50%, eller mindre, av dagens deposition under perioden 2071- 2100. Norges kust förväntas få en ökad våtdeposition i framtida klimat, speciellt under våren och sommaren. Ökningen är större än 50% på flera platser, men det är trots allt en relativt liten yta som påverkas på detta sätt. Minskad (ökad) våtdeposition i modellområdet kompenseras i någon mån av ökad (minskad) torrdeposition. För de flesta områdena kommer dock ändringen i totaldeposition att följa mönstret i våtdepositionen. Resultaten tyder på att flera sekundära luftföroreningar blir mer långlivade. Halterna i atmosfären blir därmed högre, de kommer vidare att kunna spridas över större områden.

Abstract [en]

In order to investigate the effects of climate change on air quality in Europe, we have utilised the regional CTM (chemistry and transport model) MATCH, forced by meteorology representing future climate conditions but keeping the emissions at their current value. The meteorology is from RCA3, the Rossby Center’s regional climate model (covering all Europe on 50 km × 50 km resolution). RCA3 is, in the current study, run under the SRES A2 emission scenario forced with corresponding climate data from ECHAM4/OPYC3 global model on its boundaries. We have applied our CTM on three different 30-year periods representing current, near- and distant future climate (1961-1990, 2021-2050 and 2071-2100, respectively). Detailed description and validation of the climate model and the CTM is given elsewhere. In the present report we report seasonally-averaged changes in near-surface ozone, secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA) and deposition of sulphur and nitrogen containing species in Europe.The seasonal-mean ozone concentrations are expected to increase considerably (1-2% per decade up to 2050) in central and southern Europe, in particular during summer. The daily maximum concentrations are expected to increase even more than the daily mean concentrations. Northernmost Europe is projected to experience lower ozone concentrations under future climate, especially during spring and autumn. The concentration of SIA will increase dramatically in continental Europe during all seasons except winter. The increase is largest around the Mediterranean during summer. The average summertime concentration of SIA will be 20% higher in 2021-2050 and 50% higher in 2071-2100 compared to current levels as a result of changing the meteorology (drier and warmer conditions in central and southern Europe). The increase in atmospheric SIA concentrations is related to the large decrease in wet deposition of sulphur- and nitrogen containing species, which will be the consequence of climate change in large parts of central and southern Europe. Large areas around the Mediterranean, France, Belgium and the Netherlands will receive 50%, or less, of current nitrogen- and sulphur deposition in 2071-2100 compared to present conditions. The Norwegian coast, on the other hand, is expected to receive more sulphur- and nitrogen deposition due to the anticipated increase in precipitation in this area.
