Résumé

The degraded outdoor air quality in Morocco has become for decision makers a topic of major concern. However, taking into account the purchase and maintenance costs for monitoring network, air quality modeling is a primordial tool to predict the air quality evolution scenarios all over the Moroccan territory. Accordingly, a first air quality modeling based on CHIMERE/WRF was for the first time implemented and tested within Agadir-City. The present study allowed obtaining preliminary spatial distribution mapping of 5 relevant pollutants concentration all over the city. Furthermore, model evaluations were compared to available data from ground-based monitoring station installed within Agadir City.
