Manders, A.M.M. (author), van Meijgaard, E. (author), Mues, A.C. (author), Kranenburg, R. (author), van Ulft, L.H. (author), Schaap, M. (author)Climate change may have an impact on air quality (ozone, particulate matter) due to the strong dependency of air quality on meteorology. The effect is often studied using a global climate model (GCM) to produce meteorological fields that are subsequently used by chemical transport models. However, climate models themselves are subject to large...article 2012
