5 Effects of Using Two Different Biogenic Emission Models…
33
Question: Is there any plan to improve PSI model? In particular, it is our intention
to query for a possibility to do any necessary field campaign to improve the input
for the biogenic VOC emission estimation. There is an interest to explore further
this issue in our research institute in Thailand, there are very few studies so far in
southeast Asia.
Answer: No, there is no such plan at the moment. PSI-model was developed originally only for Switzerland on a high-resolution domain using Swiss tree inventories
and later it was extended to cover Europe.
