IWDW-WAQS Wiki

This Wiki contains documentation for the Western Air Quality Study - Intermountain West Data Warehouse (IWDW-WAQS) Project. Additional Project information can be found on the IWDW website About page.

WAQS

The WAQS conducts meteorology, emissions, and air quality modeling to facilitate air resource analyses for federal and state agencies, and to provide up-to-date modeling platforms for the air quality research community. The wiki provides descriptions of WAQS developed photochemical grid model (PGM) platforms, model sensitivity analyses and source apportionment modeling. The wiki entries contain additional descriptions and graphics that supplement 3SAQS/WAQS technical reports.

  Inventory Collaborative

  For the first time ever, states, tribes, multi-jurisdictional organizations (MJOs), and EPA will endeavor to collaborate and work together as peers to develop a national Emissions Modeling Platform for calendar year 2016 (2016 EMP), including recommending methods to support future year projections into the 2020s with expected projection years of 2023 and 2028.
