    - The document discusses providing boundary conditions (BCs) from the global GEOS-Chem chemistry transport model to the regional Chimere CTM to simulate gas and aerosol species. - Standard BCs to Chimere use monthly climatologies but the author tests using hourly outputs from GEOS-Chem to provide more detailed BCs. - Preliminary results show hourly BCs do not greatly improve ozone simulations but do improve simulations of particulate matter, especially during Saharan dust events. Further evaluation is needed using additional events and statistics.

    THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
    Conclusions on preliminary results:
    Regional ozone simulation not really sensitive to BC details
    Regional PM simulation very sensitive to Saharan dust
    events ! interesting to account for natural PM10
    excedances
    Follow ups of this work:
    Comparison with ground data with PM speciation info (e.g.
    separate contribution from dust)
    Comparison with AERONET: AOD at other wavelengths?
    Test higher GEOS-Chem resolution (2x2.5)
    More episodes and statistics on the longer term
