Estimating future air-quality due to climate change: the Athens case study

K. V. Varotsos, C. Giannakopoulos, and M. Tombrou

Abstract. The aim of this study is to investigate the development of an empirical-statistical model in order to examine the potential impact of increasing future temperatures on ozone exceedance days in the Greater Athens Area. It is based on the concept that temperature is a capable predictor for the ozone concentrations and that in a future climate change world, the likelihood of ozone pollution episodes may increase.
