Downscaling of Bulgarian chemical weather forecast from Bulgaria region to Sofia city

In the paper, Bulgarian Chemical Weather Forecast System (BgCWFS), version 3, will be described end the respective end-user products will be demonstrated. Chemical Weather is understood as concentration distribution of some key pollutants in a particular area and its changes during some forecast period. In Bulgaria, a prototype of such a system was built in the frame of a project with the National Science fund. It covers a relatively small domain including Bulgaria that requires the use of chemical boundary conditions (CBC) from similar foreign systems. The last version of the System is built in the frame of EU FP7 project PASODOBLE. Following its requirements, concentration data (CBC) for the region of Bulgaria are provided by SILAM System of Finish Meteorological Institute. It operates over the whole European region but is able to provide data for any European sub-domain by its THREDDS service. The customer makes an Internet request containing all necessary parameters – sub-region dimensions, pollutants...
