Description:
Organizations interested in advancing the science and technology of regional air quality modeling on the "grand challenge" scale have joined to form CAMRAQ. hey plan to leverage their research finds by collaborating on the development and evaluation of CMSs so ambitious in scope that none could undertake the task alone. hese CMSs will give each of them the capability of conveniently addressing virtually any air quality issue within a self-consistent framework, with established confidence limits on simulated results.Early collaborative efforts will focus on advancing computational and data handling for facilitating the modeling. hese technological aspects are considered a high priority because many of the participating agencies already have research programs on the scientific underpinnings of the modeling systems. onetheless, many components of atmospheric science research will be coordinated among agencies to increase efficiency, and all participants will be attuned to opportunities for collaboration.
