Evaluation of impact of residential heating on air quality of megacity Istanbul by CMAQ
Residential heating is one of the major sectors that contribute to emissions of harmful air pollutants in urban areas. In Istanbul, local sources are the main contributors of particulate matter levels. To quantify the contributions of residential heating sector to ambient particulate matter concentrations, we have developed an up to date spatially ...

Abstract The southeastern US accounts for over 60% of national prescribed (Rx) burning acreage and relies on Rx fire to reduce wildfire risk and sustain forest biodiversity. While ecologically beneficial, Rx fires may introduce smoke‐related risks to surrounding communities.

iTransformer‐Informed Hourly Surface Ozone Forecasting Using Geostationary Satellite Observations
Abstract Previous machine learning approaches for surface ozone (O3) forecasting are often limited to site‐specific applications and struggle to capture regional pollution dynamics. Here, we introduce an inverted Transformer (iTransformer), a time‐series model that integrates hourly satellite‐derived surface O3 with key meteorological and environmental

Investigation of NOx emissions and NOx-related chemistry in East Asia using CMAQ-predicted and GOME-derived NO2 columns [PDF]
In this study, NO2 columns from the US EPA Models-3/CMAQ model simulations carried out using the 2001 ACE-ASIA (Asia Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment) emission inventory over East Asia were compared with the GOME-derived NO2 columns ...

Chemical Data Assimilation with CMAQ: Continuous vs. Discrete Advection Adjoints [PDF]
The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) system is the Environmental Protection Agency's main modeling tool for atmospheric pollution studies. CMAQ-ADJ, the adjoint model of CMAQ, offers new capabilities such as receptor-oriented sensitivity analysis and chemical data assimilation.

An investigation into seasonal and regional aerosol characteristics in East Asia using model-predicted and remotely-sensed aerosol properties [PDF]
In this study, the spatio-temporal and seasonal distributions of EOS/Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) over East Asia were analyzed in conjunction with US EPA Models-3/CMAQ v4.3 modeling.

Comparing CMAQ Forecasts with a Neural Network Forecast Model for PM2.5 in New York
Human health is strongly affected by the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The need to forecast unhealthy conditions has driven the development of Chemical Transport Models such as Community Multi-Scale Air Quality (CMAQ).
