FAIRMODE guidance documents | Knowledge for policy

FAIRMODE Forum for Air Quality Modelling

FAIRMODE WGs produces guidance documents. Guidance documents represent the fourth step in the FAIRMODE implementation plan (after benchmarking, best practices and capacity building. Based on the experience from these three steps, we elaborate first recommendations on which approaches are better suited for different applications and then general guidance documents or publications.

Below a list of the current available guidance documents:

on source apportionment (WG1, published in 2022)
on QA/QC for models used for assessment (WG2, published in 2022)
on QA/QC for models used for forecasting (WG3, published in 2026)
on microscale air quality modelling for regulatory purposes (WG4, published in 2026)
on planning (WG5, published in 2022)
on spatial representativeness (WG8, published in 2026)
