Evaluating the performance of two surface layer schemes for the momentum and heat exchange processes during severe haze pollution in Jing-Jin-Ji in eastern China [PDF]
The turbulent flux parameterization schemes in the surface layer are crucial for air pollution modeling. There have been some deficiencies in the prediction of air pollutants by atmosphere chemical models, which is closely related to the uncertainties of

Regional modeling of atmospheric mercury: impact of meteorological variables
The atmospheric mercury concentration in Europe was simulated with the regional atmospheric chemistry transport model CMAQ-Hg. Two sets of meteorological fields, one from MM5 and one from COSMO-CLM (CCLM) were used to drive the model.

Mesoscale modeling of lake effect snow over Lake Erie – sensitivity to convection, microphysics and the water temperature [PDF]
Lake effect snow is a shallow convection phenomenon during cold air advection over a relatively warm lake. A severe case of lake effect snow over Lake Erie on 24 December 2001 was studied with the MM5 and WRF mesoscale models.

Mitigation of atmospheric Water-Vapour effects on spaceborne interferometric SAR imaging through the MM5 Numerical model [PDF]
Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) imaging is a well established technique to derive useful products for several land applications. One of the major limitations of InSAR is due to atmospheric e® ects, and in particular to high water vapor variability.
