The MINNI Project
A 3 year project for the development of a National Integrated Modelling System (closing in mid 2006)
Carried out under the leadership of ENEA in cooperation with ARIANET
Project financed by ENEA and the Italian Ministry for the Environment (total investment 1,268 million Euros)
Summary info:
TFIAM Meeting, Berlin, May, 25-27, 2005
Ultimate Objectives :
Italian Agency for New TechnologiesEnergy and the Environment
Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention
The MINNI Project
- Scenario Analysis for the Göteborg Protocol pollutants, plus O3 e PM
- Policy assessment and cost effectiveness of abatement measures. Support to stakeholders and policy makers
-Environment and health impact (acidification, eutrofication,impact on vegetation, effect of PM & ozone on human health)

TFIAM Meeting, Berlin, May, 25-27, 2005
- Atmospheric Tranfer Matrices have been calculated, by the Eulerian AMS, for NH3, Sulphur, Nitrogen, Ozone and (provisionally) PM
- The RAINS-EU Web structure has been adopted for RAINS-Italy (web user interface in stand-alone mode)
- Introduction of the Health Impact Module, similarly to RAINS-EU, (in progess) with national data on population density, life tables etc.
- Completion expected in June 2005

Extended features of the Eulerian AMS
TFIAM Meeting, Berlin, May, 25-27, 2005
Aerosol modules Aero3 and Aero0 for PM calculations:
Aero3 derived by US EPA Community Multiscale Air QualityModeling System (CMAQ)
Aero0 mass model as implemented in the Unified Model EMEP
An Atmospheric Transfer Matrix, SOA included, will be tentatively calculated, as test run.

Future potential improvements in RAINS-Italy
TFIAM Meeting, Berlin, May, 25-27, 2005
- Extention to the Heavy Metals
- Higher resolution of the grid (5x5 Km2 cell)
- Extention to the GHGs (IIASA GAINS Model)
