Improving WRF-Chem meteorological analyses and forecasts over aerosol polluted regions by incorporating NAAPS aerosol analyses

Examples of Using WRF-Chem for Aerosol-Climate Applications

The Aerosol Modeling Testbed: Coordinating the Development of Aerosol Treatments using WRF-chem

The direct (scattering and absorption of radiation) and indirect (cloud-aerosol interactions) effects of aerosols predicted by climate models still contain large uncertainties. To address this issue, the goal of a new project which began this year is to develop an Aerosol Modeling Testbed (AMT) that streamlines the process of testing and evaluating refined aerosol process modules over a wide ra...

Application of WRF/Chem-MADRID and WRF/Polyphemus in Europe – Part 1: Model description, evaluation of meteorological predictions, and aerosol–meteorology interactions

Comprehensive model evaluation and comparison of two 3-D air quality modeling systems (i.e., the Weather Research and Forecast model (WRF)/Polyphemus and WRF with chemistry and the Model of Aerosol Dynamics, Reaction, Ionization, and Dissolution (MADRID) (WRF/ChemMADRID)) are conducted over Western Europe. Part 1 describes the background information for the model comparison and simulation desig...
