Regional collaborative urban air quality management: Case studies across Great Britain (2006)
Journal Article
Woodfield, N. K., Longhurst, J., Beattie, C. I., Chatterton, T., & Laxen, D. P. (2006). Regional collaborative urban air quality management: Case studies across Great Britain. Environmental Modelling and Software, 21(4), 595-599. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2004.05.010

Almost a third of local authorities across Great Britain have declared air quality management areas (AQMAs), which are the focus of concerted actions to reduce unacceptably high concentrations of prescribed air pollutants by a date specified in regul...

Outcomes of the first round of local authority air quality Review and Assessments under the UK's air quality strategy (2004)
Journal Article
Chatterton, T., Woodfield, N. K., Beattie, C. I., & Longhurst, J. (2004). Outcomes of the first round of local authority air quality Review and Assessments under the UK's air quality strategy. Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 6(10), 849-853. https://doi.org/10.1039/b404090m

In 1997, the UK government instigated the practice of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) in the UK. This process is based on local authorities undertaking Review and Assessments of air quality within their areas. The first round of Review and Assess...

Modelling SO2 concentration at a point with statistical approaches (2004)
Journal Article
Nunnari, G., Dorling, S., Schlink, U., Cawley, G., Foxall, R., & Chatterton, T. (2004). Modelling SO2 concentration at a point with statistical approaches. Environmental Modelling and Software, 19(10), 887-905. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2003.10.003

In this paper, the results obtained by inter-comparing several statistical techniques for modelling SO2 concentration at a point such as neural networks, fuzzy logic, generalised additive techniques and other recently proposed statistical approaches...

Extensive evaluation of neural network models for the prediction of NO 2 and PM10 concentrations, compared with a deterministic modelling system and measurements in central Helsinki (2003)
Journal Article
Kukkonen, J., Partanen, L., Karppinen, A., Ruuskanen, J., Junninen, H., Kolehmainen, M., …Cawley, G. (2003). Extensive evaluation of neural network models for the prediction of NO 2 and PM10 concentrations, compared with a deterministic modelling system and measurements in central Helsinki. Atmospheric Environment, 37(32), 4539-4550. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1352-2310%2803%2900583-1

Five neural network (NN) models, a linear statistical model and a deterministic modelling system (DET) were evaluated for the prediction of urban NO2 and PM10 concentrations. The model evaluation work considered the sequential hourly concentration ti...

A rigorous inter-comparison of ground-level ozone predictions (2003)
Journal Article
Schlink, U., Dorling, S., Pelikan, E., Nunnari, G., Cawley, G., Junninen, H., …Doyle, M. (2003). A rigorous inter-comparison of ground-level ozone predictions. Atmospheric Environment, 37(23), 3237-3253. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1352-2310%2803%2900330-3

Novel statistical approaches to prediction have recently been shown to perform well in several scientific fields but have not, until now, been comprehensively evaluated for predicting air pollution. In this paper we report on a model inter-comparison... Read More about A rigorous inter-comparison of ground-level ozone predictions.
