Extending the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System to Hemispheric Scales

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2017-01-20
Hemispheric scale simulations with CMAQ and the Weather Research and Forecasting model are performed for multiple years. Model capabilities for a range of applications including episodic long-range pollutant transport, long-term trends in air pollution across the Northern Hemisphere, and air pollution-climate interactions are evaluated through detailed comparison with available surface, aloft, and remotely sensed observations. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Mathur, R., J. Xing, R. Gilliam, G. Sarwar, C. Hogrefe, J. Pleim, G. Pouliot, S. Roselle, T. Spero, D. Wong, and J. Young. Extending the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) Modeling System to Hemispheric Scales: Overview of Process Considerations and Initial Applications. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
