The NKUA represents Greece in International Scientific
Organizations, participates in scientific exchange programmes and
has attracted substantial European Community funds. The Global
Change Laboratory (GCL) at NKUA, which participates in QUANTIFY,
activates on research in climatology and atmospheric environment
such as global climatic change (decline of stratospheric ozone
layer, greenhouse effect and climatic variability on various time
and space scales), measurements of ultraviolet radiation and
meteorological parameters, studies on air quality,
stratosphere-troposphere exchange and climatic effects from
aircraft emissions.
Prof. Christos Zerefos has more than 25 years of
experience in atmospheric physics and global change research. He
has established the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics and the WMO
Northern Hemisphere Ozone Mapping Centre at the University of
Thessaloniki and he is presently directing the Laboratory of
Climatology and Atmospheric Environment of the University of Athens
and the WMO Ozone Mapping Centre. He has coordinated several EU
projects (MEDCAPHOT-TRACE, PAUR I and II) and has participated in
40 EU projects such as GOA, STREAMER, OZONE-SAF, STACCATO,
TRADE-OFF, QUOBI, CRYOPLANE, SOLICE and CANDIDOZ.
Dr. Dimitris Melas, Associate Professor, has
extensive experience in numerical mesoscale modelling, boundary
layer meteorology, data analysis and coupling between model results
and observations. Previous research activities, related to the
objectives of the present proposal, focus on numerical simulations
of the mesoscale wind field and the turbulent structure of the
atmospheric boundary layer, photochemical modelling at urban and
regional scale, validation of model results and sensitivity
analysis of model results. He has published more than 40 papers in
international journals with peer review and was previously involved
in the design, and implementation of many international and
national experimental campaigns.
