Data integration model for exposure modelling (DIMEX-UK)
This project will develop a framework in which data on concentrations of air pollution can be combined with human activity and health data. The aim of the project is to develop a modelling framework…
MAQS-Health (Multi-Model Air Quality System for Health Research)
This project has been awarded in response to the call for ‘Urban Outdoor Air Quality Modelling’ to provide a high-resolution prediction capability to support personal exposure for health impacts…
Developing a UK Community Emission Modelling System (DUKEMS)
The core objectives of the project are the delivery of a framework and tools designed to be operational long-term in supporting the atmospheric modelling community by providing a flexible, user-friendly system…
Clean Air framework
The concept of a framework and/or systems approach to air quality study and analysis has many potential benefits. Air quality is scientifically multi-disciplinary; spatially and temporally multi-scale…
Lower troposphere and boundary layer measurements
While aerosol and gaseous pollutants in the UK are generally well-observed at the surface, and column-averaged information is increasingly available from satellite observations, there remains limited data on the vertical distribution of key pollutants in the UK boundary layer…
UK air quality reanalysis
In recent years the importance of understanding the impact of poor air quality on our health has moved higher up the political agenda. Efforts to fully understand the relationship between pollution episodes and the onset or deterioration of our health have been stepped up…
Kilometre scale air quality model for the UK
Although there is an abundance of regional scale air quality models operating with grid lengths typically at 10km, the same cannot be said of ‘complex’ models operating at higher resolution of around a kilometre…
High resolution meteorological modelling for air quality
The meteorological wind and mixing within the urban environment play a key role in air quality as it influences factors such as chemical reactions and residence time (how long pollution remains in an area)…
Food Transport Refrigeration with Engine Exhaust and Metal Hydride Reactors
The standard cooling cycle for refrigerated transport is the Vapour Compression System (VCS). Working fluids are traditionally hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) with relatively high Global Warming Potential (GWP)…
Cool Run: Hubl’s solution to multi-temperature last mile delivery
The Cool Run system optimises the handling of food through a novel insulated pod system, which controls the temperature of individual unit loads
