ANO ESC “EAST” retains previous developments and continues the activities of the Meteorological Synthesizing Centre “East” (MSC-E) related to modelling and assessment of transboundary transport of pollution. MSC-E was one of the scientific Centres of the
EMEP programme established within the framework of the
Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and operated on the territory of the Russian Federation until 31 December 2023. For more than 30 years the scientific Centre has been engaged in research and development of atmospheric transboundary transport models of atmospheric pollutants. The Centre has carried out operational modelling of pollution levels of heavy metals (HMs) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment. The results of the multi-year work are reflected in
reports and
scientific articles. The main activities of MSC-E are summarized in the
Booklet.
In the framework of the EMEP programme a multi-scale modelling platform (
GLEMOS model) was developed. The model was designed for the modelling of atmospheric transport, circulation and accumulation of HMs and POPs in the environment. An open source version of the GLEMOS model (v2.2.2, for a limited number of pollutants: Cd, Pb, Hg, BaP) is available on the
GitHub platform. For detailed information on installing, compiling and running of the model, please refer to the
User Manual.
