COOTER, E., R. GILLIAM, W. G. BENJEY, CHRIS NOLTE, J. SWALL, AND A. GILLILAND. EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON REGIONAL AIR QUALITY OVER THE UNITED STATES. Presented at 28th NATO/CCMS International Technical Meeting, Leipzig, GERMANY, May 15 - 19, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
The objective of this work is to investigate the impact of global climate change on the regional air quality of the United States. Impacts of climate change on meteorological patterns and primary source emissions are investigated as primary elements influencing future air quality.
Description:
This presentation summarizes recent results produced in support of the assessment of climate change impacts on ozone and particulate matter over the continental United States. Preliminary findings of climate scenario, meteorologically-drive emissions and air quality simulation analyses for current (ca. 2000) and future (ca. 2050) time periods are reported.
