A Study of Nocturnal Surface Wind Speed Overprediction by the WRF-ARW Model in Southeastern Texas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he overprediction of surface wind speed during nighttime by the Advanced Research core of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-ARW) model was investigated for a period of the Second Texas Air Quality Study (28 May?3 ...
Impact of Domain Size on Modeled Ozone Forecast for the Northeastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of model domain extent and the specification of lateral boundary conditions on the forecast quality of air pollution constituents in a specific region of interest. A developmental version ...
Evaluation of the Operational Multiscale Environment Model with Grid Adaptivity against the European Tracer Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Operational Multiscale Environment Model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA) is a multiscale nonhydrostatic atmospheric simulation system based on an adaptive unstructured grid. The basic philosophy behind the OMEGA development ...
An Operational Multiscale Hurricane Forecasting System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Operational Multiscale Environment model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA) is an atmospheric simulation system that links the latest methods in computational fluid dynamics and high-resolution gridding technologies with ...
NAQFC Developmental Forecast Guidance for Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) upgraded its modeling system that provides developmental numerical predictions of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 ?m in diameter (PM2.5) in January 2015. The ...
Improving NOAA NAQFC PM2.5 Predictions with a Bias Correction Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: articulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 ?m (PM2.5) is a critical air pollutant with important impacts on human health. It is essential to provide accurate air quality forecasts to alert ...
A Dynamically Adapting Weather and Dispersion Model: The Operational Multiscale Environment Model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Operational Multiscale Environment Model with Grid Adaptivity (OMEGA) and its embedded Atmospheric Dispersion Model is a new atmospheric simulation system for real-time hazard prediction, conceived out of a need to ...
Linking the Eta Model with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System to Build a National Air Quality Forecasting System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: NOAA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have developed a national air quality forecasting (AQF) system that is based on numerical models for meteorology, emissions, and chemistry. The AQF system generates ...
Examination of the Physical Atmosphere in the Great Lakes Region and Its Potential Impact on Air Quality—Overwater Stability and Satellite Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHigh mixing ratios of ozone along the shores of Lake Michigan have been a recurring theme over the last 40 years. Models continue to have difficulty in replicating ozone behavior in the region. Although emissions ...
