For this purpose, a global to mesoscale model-chain is developed and applied, coupling the individual models’ simulations. The global chemical transport model GEOS-CHEM, applied in a one-way nested procedure, is used to drive the regional UAM-V chemical dispersion model with time-varying lateral and top boundary conditions. The results of the coupling procedure are compared with the MINOS campaign measurements at Finokalia (Southern Greece) during the period from 1 to 16 August 2001 which is mainly characterized by an interchange of two synoptic types, High-Low and Long Wave trough. The comparison between the simulation results and the measurements reveals that the coupling procedure captures satisfactorily the range of observed CO concentrations at the southern part of Greece. The most severe deviations are observed under strongly variable atmospheric circulation, when no distinct synoptic circulation is allowed to be established in the area. Regarding O3, the highest, though underestimated, surface concentrations are simulated under Long Wave trough conditions due to the influence of the ozone inflow predicted by GEOS-CHEM at the western boundary of the innermost domain and/or under enhanced NOy emissions arriving at Finokalia from urban and ships plumes. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
