This report is a technical background document about modelling of Particulate Matter. For policy support, it is necessary to quantify the relation between emissions, atmospheric conditions and concentrations
of air pollutants. In the Netherlands, two models are used for this purpose. This document describes the two models and their recent developments accomplished within the BOP research programme. The LOTOS-EUROS model calculates air quality on a European scale and the OPS model focuses on the Netherlands. The LOTOS-EUROS model was validated against observations and further developed by including improved and new parameterisations for the contribution of sea salt, mineral dust and biogenic secondary organic aerosol to particulate matter. In addition, a coupling was realised between the global air quality model TM5 and LOTOS-EUROS. Finally, the LOTOS-EUROS model and the OPS model were tested in an intercomparison together with the unified EMEP model for ammonium, nitrate, sulphate and fine primary particles.
