The MINNI Project

A 3 year project for the development of a National Integrated Modelling System

Carried out under the leadership of ENEA in cooperation with ARIANET

Project financed by ENEA and the Italian Ministry for the Environment (total investment 1,268 million Euros)

Ultimate Objectives :

The MINNI Project

- Development of emission Scenarios, for SO2, NOx, NH3, VOC, O3 e PM

- Development of national/regional cost curves, analysis of the abatement costs, optimised cost allocation

- Analysis of impact on environment and human health

TFIAM Meeting, Amiens, May, 10-12, 2004

- Analysis of pollutant transport, dispersion and multiphase chemical transformations

- Development of deposition/concentration maps at national and regional level

Three different simulation models are integrated in a coherent framework:

Prognostic and non-hydrostatic model RAMS (Cotton et al., 2003)

2 way nested grid system

ECMWF analysis fields and surface synoptic observations used as input data for RAMS simulations

RAMS has provided the hourly meteorological fields of interest for the base year 1999.

Assessment based upon cross-checking with available record data

Derived from STEM Model (Carmichael et al., 1998).

Three-dimensional Eulerian model

Acid pollutants are treated by means of the (Hov et al., 1988) chemical scheme

Photochemical reactions are described by the SAPRC-90 chemical scheme

Models-3/CMAQ Aero-3 module (Binkowski, 1999) used for PM

Chemical boundary conditions are assigned by the EMEP Model

Based upon the National Emission Inventory

The reference year (1999) national emission inventory data are disaggregated at NUTS3 level (“Province”) by means of a number of specific activities indicators

The emissions of the neighbouring countries are based upon the EMEP European inventory

140 Italian large point sources are considered individually .
