Multi-Meteorology Air Quality Ensemble
WRF
SMOKE
CMAQ
Produce eight members by varying WRF-ARW physics:
SW & LW Radiation (Goddard/RRTM and CAM)
Surface and Boundary Layer (MYJ and Yonsei University)
Cumulus (New Kain-Fritsch and Grell-Devenyi Ensemble)
Test on Summer 2006 ozone events in northeast U.S.
Explore research questions:
How sensitive is emissions model to physics options?
How sensitive is air quality model to physics options?
Is the spread sufficient to represent forecast uncertainty?
