The new Danish Centre of Energy, Environment and Health (CEEH) - basic ideas and framework
Lise M. Frohn, National Environmental Research Institute (lmf@dmu.dk)Abstract: The objective of the
Centre
of Energy,
Environment and Health (CEEH) is to provide advanced research of energy
production and related environmental/health issues and thereby
integrate groups
from these areas. The main goals are to study the future production of
energy
in
A key element of the CEEH will be to expand, evaluate and apply integrated models for the whole impact pathways, including integrated energy system, emissions, atmospheric chemistry/transport, human exposure, human health models as well as cost models. The main research areas include:
- Modelling and research in atmospheric transport, dispersion, chemistry and faith of pollutants due to energy production and consumption. Both primary and secondary particles as well as chemical gas-phase constituents will be considered. Knowledge of the regional and local environmental burden related to emissions of pollutants and accidental risks from power production is needed for estimation of environmental and health costs.
- Physiological and statistical studies of the impact of atmospheric pollutants on the human body and on health in general. Based on the atmospheric burden these studies will be used to quantify the relative importance and costs of different types and amounts of emissions (as well as other types of environmental impacts).
The grant for CEEH covers a 5-year period from 2007-2011, and the basic model system to be applied in the Centre is the EVA model system (External Valuation of Air pollution) developed at NERI/AU.

Poster presentation of a new numerical method for atmospheric modellingA new locally mass conserving, monotonic and accurate method for solving the continuityequations in Earth System Models
Eigil Kaas, University of Copenhagen (kaas@gfy.ku.dk)Abstract:
To correctly simulate the evolution and interactions
of chemical
constituents in Earth System Models it is important that the algorithms
of the underlying dynamical core fulfil a number of properties such as
high order of accuracy, inherent mass conservation, locality, positive
definiteness, monotonicity, consistency, and high order of numerical
stability and efficiency. Furthermore the so-called masswind
inconsistency problem should be minimised in a physically consistent
way. Aiming at fulfilling all these requirements simultaneously a new
scheme has been introduced. It is based on two new ingredients:
- a simple and cost effective method to ensure local, i.e. inherent, mass conservation in traditional semi-implicit (SI), semi-Lagrangian (SL)models
- an efficient locally mass conserving spatial filter.
The basic mass conserving SL method
is relatively simple to construct
from existing SL general circulation models. The trick is to introduce
weights at the upstream departure points ensuring that the total mass
given off by a given Eulerian grid point to the surrounding SL
departure points is equal to the volume represented by that grid point.
Based on the Eulerian grid point weights it is possible to obtain
departure point weights representing the divergence associated with the
SL trajectories as in the socalled cell-integrated semi-Lagrangian
(CISL) models. The filter is simple but it efficiently ensures
monotonicity and positive definiteness and surprisingly it enhances the
accuracy. Furthermore it can be constructed to generally maintain
constancy in non-divergent flows. So far the scheme has only been
tested in traditional two dimensional advection tests and in a
semi-Lagrangian, semi-implicit shallow water
model in plain geometry but with topography. Without the filter the scheme is at least as accurate as the traditional SL schemes. The filter enhances the accuracy for all tests carried out. However, it becomes particularly impressive near sharp gradients and discontinuities. The increase in numerical cost of the new scheme relative to traditional SI-SL models is small, particularly when there are several passive tracers

Integrating Externalities in Optimisation of Future Energy Systems
Kenneth Karlssona,
Abstract:
Fossil fuel related air pollution influences both the
natural
environment and human health. The particle pollution from cars and
trucks alone is considered to cause more deaths than traffic accidents.
This has lead to the establishment of a Danish Centre of Energy,
Environment and Health (CEEH) which is supported by the Program
Commission for Energy and Environment under the Danish Council for
Strategic Research. The objective of CEEH is to establish an
interdisciplinary based system to support optimal future planning of
energy production and usage with respect to costs related to the
natural environment and human health. To ensure the needed
interdisciplinary approach the centre includes researchers from
meteorology, air pollution, environment, energy, physiology/health and
economy. The main outcome of the centre is an integrated regional
economic model system including components for air pollution chemistry
and dispersion down to urban and sub-urban scales, and model components
of the impacts on public health and the external environment. While the
system will be designed to minimize the grand costs of Danish energy
systems, it is obvious that the system will require boundary conditions
as input. These will be obtained from a global energy system model and
of global air pollution models.
