The Challenges of Modelling Air Quality in Hong Kong

Abstract
Only a numerical air pollution modelling system can link together all the processes
involved in determining air quality coherently to provide a science-based picture. The PATH
(Pollutants in the Atmosphere and their Transport over Hongkong) modelling system was set
up in the year 2000 and has since provided useful information on the various aspects of air
pollution in and around Hong Kong. The system has also been enhanced to make short-term
forecast of air quality. Further upgrade of the system to meet new challenges is continuing.
