Linking the Eta Model with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System to Build a National Air Quality Forecasting System
Tanya L. Otte,George Pouliot,Jonathan E. Pleim,Jeffrey Young,Kenneth L. Schere,David C. Wong,Pius Lee,Marina Tsidulko,Jeffery T. McQueen,Paula Davidson,Rohit Mathur,Hui-Ya Chuang,Geoff DiMego,Nelson L. Seaman +13 more
TL;DR: The AQF system is currently based on NCEP's Eta Model and the EPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system, which was implemented into operation at the National Weather Service in September of 2004, currently generates twice-daily forecasts of ground-level ozone (O3) for the northeastern United States at 12-km horizontal grid spacing as discussed by the authors.
