At present, when high particulate matter (PM) concentrations in ambient air cause thousands of premature deaths in Europe and global climate change is becoming the most critical issue in environmental protection, the state-of-the-science air quality and climate models constitute an essential research as well as decision support tools. Recently the great progress has been achieved in this research area. The present paper presents the goals and tools for Air Quality (AQ) Modeling, and gives overview of current challenges, including the meteorological, chemistry and climate modeling. The main emphasis is given to the regulatory and the Eulerian grid models, the latter are currently operating as so called off-line or on-line modeling systems. The issues connected with model implementation and validation is presented as well. Finally, the conclusions are drawn and recommendations for further development and integration of AQ and climate modeling in Poland are presented.

W obecnej chwili, gdy alarmująco wysokie stężenia pyłów w atmosferze powodują przedwczesną śmiertelność tysięcy mieszkańców Europy, a zmiany klimatu są największym wyzwaniem ochrony środowiska naszej planety, matematyczne modelowanie jakości powietrza i klimatu staje się niezbędnym narzędziem badawczym, jak również niezwykle potrzebnym narzędziem wspomagania polityki ochrony środowiska. W ostatnich latach osiągnięto wielki postęp w omawianej dziedzinie. W pracy przedstawiono zadania i cele modelowania jakości powietrza oraz podstawy modelowania deterministycznego. Ukazano rozwój modeli regulatoryjnych oraz numerycznych modeli Eulerowskich, które aktualnie przyjmują postać tzw. systemów modelowania (modeli trzeciej generacji), pracujących zarówno w trybie off-line jak i on-line. Zaprezentowano najnowsze rozwiązania stosowane w modelowaniu meteorologicznym, w modelowaniu przemian chemicznych oraz w regionalnych modelach klimatycznych, wskazując na rozwój modelowania na świecie, w Europie i w Polsce. Omówiono także kwestę implementacji modeli oraz ich weryfikacji. Pracę podsumowują wnioski i rekomendacje związane z koniecznością rozwoju i integracji modelowania jakości powietrza i klimatu w Polsce.
