MOBBE (Computational Model for Prediction of the Biomass Burning Emissions and their Impact) was implemented between July 2014 and December 2016. The project aimed to quantify and predict the effects of aerosols from biomass burning on air quality, climate, and meteorology at local, regional, and global scales.
MOBBE focused on understanding how emitted biomass burning aerosols (BBA) act as cloud condensation nuclei, influencing cloud formation and radiative properties. Since cloud formation processes and aerosol–cloud interactions are not yet fully understood, these uncertainties affect weather forecasts and climate projections. The project investigated potential sources and properties of biomass burning aerosols, urban aerosols, and long-range transported aerosols over Romania, using a first case study in the Bucharest area.
Advanced inversion algorithms were applied to analyze aerosol characteristics and improve predictions of their environmental impacts. The project contributed to better understanding and modeling of aerosol effects on both regional air quality and climate.
