Abstract
Principal considerations about the evaluation of meso-scale chemistry-transport models are presented exploiting and commenting a concept which was developed in the framework of the German tropospheric research programme TFS. Specific experiences resulting from the application of the concept are described. Aspects of reliability of numerical simulations of air quality in the atmospheric boundary layer are included in the discussion.
