Pleim, J E. UPDATES AND EVALUATION OF THE COMMUNITY MULTISCALE AIR QUALITY (CMAQ) MODEL - 2004 RELEASE. Presented at 13th Joint Conference on the Applications of Air Pollution Meteorology with the Air and Waste Management Association, Vancouver, BC, Canada, August 23-27, 2004.
Impact/Purpose:
The objectives of this task are to continuously develop and improve EPA's mesoscale (regional through urban scale) air quality simulation models, such as the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model, as air quality management and NAAQS implementation tools. CMAQ is a multiscale and multi-pollutant chemistry-transport model (CTM) that includes the necessary critical science process modules for atmospheric transport, deposition, cloud mixing, emissions, gas- and aqueous-phase chemical transformation processes, and aerosol dynamics and chemistry. To achieve the advances in CMAQ, research will be conducted to develop and test appropriate chemical and physical mechanisms, improve the accuracy of emissions and dry deposition algorithms, and to develop and improve state-of-the-science meteorology models and contributing process parameterizations.
