| Abstract |
Vegetation cover data are used to characterize many air quality model processes, including the calculation of heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes with the Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Meteorological Model (MM5) and the estimate of biogenic emissions with the Biogenic Emissions Inventory System (BEIS) (Byun and Ching, 1999). This paper compares vegetation cover and isoprene emissions estimated from three contemporary databases: (1) the North American Land Cover Characteristics (NALCC) version 2 database, (2) the Biogenic Emissions Landcover Database (BELD3), and (3) the National Land Cover Database (NLCD). Each of these databases may be suitable for use with regional-scale air quality models. |
