Weather-Chemistry Coupled Model Evaluation
In order to improve regional air quality forecasts, it is essential to assess the performance of models which couple weather prediction and atmospheric chemistry. ETL participates in field programs which deploy networks of sensors, aircraft and ships to observe the parameters driving regional meteorology and air chemistry. The air quality models are then run with and without the additional observations to assess the accuracy of their predictions.
