| Zusammenfassung |
| The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system, a
state-of-the-science regional air quality modeling system developed by the
US Environmental Protection Agency, is being used for a variety of
environmental modeling problems including regulatory applications, air
quality forecasting, evaluation of emissions control strategies,
process-level research, and interactions of global climate change and
regional air quality. The Meteorology-Chemistry Interface Processor (MCIP)
is a vital piece of software within the CMAQ modeling system that serves to,
as best as possible, maintain dynamic consistency between the meteorological
model and the chemical transport model (CTM). MCIP acts as both a
post-processor to the meteorological model and a pre-processor to the
emissions and the CTM in the CMAQ modeling system. MCIP's functions are to
ingest the meteorological model output fields in their native formats,
perform horizontal and vertical coordinate transformations, diagnose
additional atmospheric fields, define gridding parameters, and prepare the
meteorological fields in a form required by the CMAQ modeling system. This
paper provides an updated overview of MCIP, documenting the scientific
changes that have been made since it was first released as part of the CMAQ
modeling system in 1998. |
