Impact/Purpose:
The objectives of this task include: (1) to continuously evaluate and analyze the forecast results to provide diagnostic information on model performance and inadequacies to guide further evolution and refinements to the CMAQ model, and (2) extending the utility of the daily air quality forecast model data being produced by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) as part of a NOAA/EPA collaboration in air quality forecasting, to EPA mission-oriented activities. These objectives include developing and maintaining a long-term database of air quality modeling results (ozone and PM2.5), performing periodic analysis and assessments using the data, and making the air quality database available and accessible to States, Regions, RPO's and others to use as input data for regional/local scale air quality modeling for policy/regulatory purposes.
Description:
In 2003, NOAA and EPA signed a Memorandum of Agreement to collaborate on the design and implementation of a capability to produce daily air quality modeling forecast information for the U.S. NOAA's ETA meteorological model and EPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model have been linked together to form the core of this forecast system. The initial capability, implemented in September 2004, provided ground level ozone predictions over the Northeastern United States. A program of phased development and testing has and will continue to expand this capability: as of August 31, 2005, the operational domain was extended over the entire eastern United States. Over the next five years the model domain will be expanded to the continental U.S., and PM2.5 will be added to the model forecast capability; developmental testing of both these capabilities has already been initiated. This task leverages this on-going work between NOAA and EPA by (1) building an air quality forecast database at EPA/RTP consisting of the daily meteorological, emissions, and air quality outputs from the Eta-CMAQ forecast system, (2) making these data available to the air quality management community (EPA/OAR, RPOs, States, etc.), and providing value-added analyses of the data contained in this long-term database, and (3) contributing to the enhancement and further development of the CMAQ model through continuous diagnostic analyses of model forecast results.

Project Information:
Progress :The design and implementation of the air quality forecast database at EPA, which was initiated in FY04 was further enhanced in FY05. Data from both the operational and developmental forecast simulations using the 2005 Eta-CMAQ model forecast runs were used to populate the database, augmenting the model data already available from 2004. Currently, the data base consists of all relevant data required to construct input data files for CMAQ as well as CMAQ model output from the NOAA NWS forecast runs starting June 1, 2004. Issues of transfer of large datasets between NOAA/NCEP at Camp Springs, MD and EPA/RTP were researched and scripts to automatically transfer data on a daily basis were developed; approximately 25Gb of data were transferred per day. Data from ozone forecast seasons will continue to be added to the database in subsequent years, and value-added analyses will begin using the air quality forecast database.As part of a pilot study between the EPA and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), NYSDEC has utilized this data base to perform near real time air quality modeling over the northeast U.S. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has also expressed interest in a similar Pilot Study that will utilize data from this database to help perform high resolution air quality simulations over Atlanta and its surrounding regions.
Relevance :Unlike meteorological modeling, air quality model development and assesments have not been able to benefit from repeated forecast applications that test the model under a variety of dynamical and chemical conditions. The air quality forecast data being generated on a daily basis by NOAA/NWS represents the first time that numerical air quality simulation models will be operated in a routine fashion in the U.S. The use of these models in an assessment mode has become central to the State Implementation Planning (SIP) process for air quality management. The long-term archive of air quality forecast data to be produced within this task will be an invaluable resource to the States, RPO's, and others involved in the SIP process. It will provide data to supplement observations for episode selection, and model application and evaluation on a regional/local basis. In addition it will provide data for air quality climatology research and linking health and epidemiological data to air quality data.
