Evaluation of delta tool for comparison of different air quality prediction models

Abstract

This paper describes how to use Delta tool, a software for the assessment of air quality model applications to evaluate ozone prediction models. These models aim to improve the accuracy of forecasting ozone concentration in urban locations in Slovenia. As Delta tool was built in the frame of the EU Air Quality Directive, it is essential and conducive to evaluating the prediction models within regulation and policy. In this work, we demonstrate the procedure for implementing model data, developed previously, into the Delta tool and we show some examples of validation results.
