    1 Referee 1 2 3 Many thanks for the constructive suggestions. Our responses are in red text 4 below. 5 6 The paper describes PLASIM-GENIE a new intermediate-complexity 7 Atmosphere- Ocean Earth System Model, designed for simulations of millenium+ 8 length. The new model is well suited for studies of long-term climate change, its 9 simulation of present-day climate is acceptable, its formulation is mostly 10 described well, and I recommend publication subject to the following changes 11 being made. 12 13 1. It’s not 100% clear whether or not this model has a carbon cycle, and what 14 aspects of this are turned on or off. The model is described as an AOGCM 15 (suggesting no C-cycle), but section 2.1 and others do allude to the simulation of 16 different carbon pools on land, which is slightly confusing. I presume there is 17 some sort of diagnostic C-cycle which does not affect atmospheric CO2, but does 18 affect vegetation. However GENIE- 1 does contain a fully interactive C-cycle. The 19 abstract, introduction, section 2.1 and other sections have to be clearer about 20 which parts of the C-cycle are on or off. Any flexibility in the C-cycle (ie: being 21 run in a diagnostic mode to simulation terrestrial pools but without affecting the 22 ocean and atmosphere) should be noted, as potential users of this AOGCM would 23 be interested in this. 24 25 As suggested, we have added flexibility to the run the terrestrial carbon cycle in 26 diagnostic mode.

According to plans, MPS is expected to be progressively shut down during 2013 and 2014, and a 200 MW submarine interconnection to the European grid, to be finally commissioned and handed over to Enemalta. Enemalta carried out an air dispersion modelling study for DPS in 2011 as part of the IPPC obligations. However, the revised Delimara IPPC permit requires that this dispersion model is updated to reflect changes in the combustion plants and the installation of the cable interconnector.

  • Urban Air Pollution Modeling
    2 Urban Air Pollution Modeling Anjali Srivastava and B. Padma S. Rao National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Kolkata Zonal Centre India 1. Introduction All life form on this planet depends on clean air. Air quality not only affects human health but also components of environment such as water, soil, and forests, which are the vital resources for human development. Urbanization is a process of relative growth in a country’s urban population accompanied by an even faster increase in the economic, political, and cultural importance of cities relative to rural areas. Urbanization is the integral part of economic development. It brings in its wake number of challenges like increase in population of urban settlement, high population density, increase in industrial activities (medium and small scale within the urban limits and large scale in the vicinity), high rise buildings and increased vehicular movement. All these activities contribute to air pollution. The shape of a city and the land use distribution determine the location of emission sources and the pattern of urban traffic, affecting urban air quality (World Bank Reports 2002). The dispersion and distribution of air pollutants and thus the major factor affecting urban air quality are geographical setting, climatological and meteorological factors, city planning and design and human activities. Cities in the developing countries are characterized by old city and new development. The old cities have higher population density, narrow lanes and fortified structures. In order to ensure clean air in urban settlements urban planning and urban air quality management play an important role. New legislations, public awareness, growth of urban areas, increases in power consumption and traffic pose continuous challenges to urban air quality management.
