Cooperative Agreement

Overview

Grant Description
The activities, as part of this air quality project for NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory, are all in support of enhancing NOAA National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) and will include:

1. Updating emissions estimates of trace gases and smoke particles that are responsible for the formation of high ozone and PM2.5 concentrations downwind based on recent measurements (e.g. FIREX-AQ, WE-CAN) during wildfires.

2. The development of a prototype wildfire smoke ensemble product from existing NOAA smoke-enabled models, development of a fire behavior module for higher-resolution air quality forecasting models (NAQFC and UFS-AEROSOLS), incorporation.

3. Testing of the Fengsha [an English analog term (not an acronym) of the Mandarin term for wind-blown dust], dust emission scheme into the Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS) and development of standardized evaluation tools that will help future efforts at model improvements.
