This is a collaboration with David Streets ( Argonne National Laboratory),
Giuseppe Calori and Alessio D'Allura (ARIANET s.r.l., Italy) and
Youhua Tang (NOAA/NWS/NCEP/EMC).
The University of Iowa's STEM regional chemical transport modeling simulations are performed at the 60km resolution.
The Weather Research & Forecasting model (WRF)
provides meteorological fields to drive these calculations.
The real time biomass burning emissions and boundary conditions are provided by the
RAQMS Modeling Group
(Robert P. Pierce, NOAA) and (Jassim A. Al-Saadi, NASA Langley Research Center)
Further details of the emissions inventory are presented here
