New Developments in the Community Mulitscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Model

摘要

CMAQ model research and development is currently following two tracks at the Atmospheric Modeling Division of the USEPA. Public releases of the community model system for research and policy analysis are continuing on an annual interval with the latest release in September 2004. The publicly released system includes the latest advancements in scientific modeling research and improvements for model efficiency and is intended for research and policy development. The other CMAQ track is for the National Air Quality Forecast (AQF) system, which is a joint NOAA/USEPA project to provide nationwide operational model forecasts of ozone and aerosols.
