Comparison of the atmospheric lower-layer diagnostic system (SDA) for pollution transfer modelling at MSC-East (Moscow) and MSC-West (Oslo)

Technological aspects of the preparation of the input data for transboundary pollution transport models used in the two Meteorological Synthesising Centres (MSC-East in Oslo and MSC-West in Moscow) are analysed. Problems concerning the development of methods of providing meteorological data for these kinds of models are considered. The present state of the problems is analysed. The input data sets of principal meteorological elements (precipitation and wind) for central months of seasons of the year 1992 are compared.
