Abstract

A developmental version of the NOAA/EPA AQF capability with 22 and 40 layer configurations had been tested during the TexAQS 2006 field experiment. Preliminary results have been verified with the AIRNOW network. Both the 22 and 40 layer configurations showed reasonable skill in predicting the magnitude and the diurnal peak characteristics of surface ozone in an urban and an urban-rural interface sites. The model does not exhibit a similar degree of skill in forecasting surface PM 2.5. In lieu of the fact that the vast amount of the observation data is currently under processing, some ozonesonde data collected during the experiment has been utilized to verify the model results. Analyses of two vertical profiles suggest that the 40 layer configuration better captures multiple inflexion points of vertical O₃ concentration profiles.
