Impact/Purpose:
The objective of this task is to improve the ability to model emissions from selected environmentally-dependent sources, test the performance of the models, incorporate them into a larger emission-modeling framework, and evaluate the effect of the emission models in support of improving the performance of CMAQ at all spatial and temporal scales. Evaluation will be with respect to previous CMAQ modeling results and ambient concentration data. In addition, the task will provide ADP and GIS contractor support for the generation and application of emission data in support of CMAQ development and evaluation as well as emission research.
Description:
The Ozarks Isoprene Experiment (OZIE) was conducted in July 1998 in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Oklahoma. OZIE was designed to investigate the presumed strong isoprene emission rates from the Missouri Ozarks, where there is a high density of oak trees that are efficient isoprene emitters.
