Tuesday: 2:20 : Ravan Ahmadov – What drives high wintertime ozone in the oil and natural gas fields of the Western US? 3:20: M. Barna - Modeling the Role of Oil and Gas Emissions on Regional Ozone in the Intermountain West

Poster #6: Bernhard Rappengluck- Strong wintertime ozone events in the Upeer Green River Basin, Wyoming Poster #7: Timothy Vinciguerra - Potential regional air quality impacts of hydraulic fracturing activity Poseter #29: Courney Taylor – Utah Bureau of Land Management Air Resource Strategy (ARMS) Modeling Study: Potential Impacts to Winter Ozone Formation using Future Emission Scenarios

People to talk with Lance Avey Rob Gilliam Jon Pleim Marco Rodriguez Chris Misenis Kirk Baker Pat Dolwick Ravan Ahmadov M. Barna Bernhard Rappengluck Timothy Vinciguerra Courtney Taylor Gail Tonneson

Questions:

How does PX and snow interact when using the indirect soil nudging as recommended when using PX? – Jon Pleim & Rob Gilliam

Which PBL schemes have shown large sensitivity to Cold Air Pools? – Chris Misenis Lance Avey,

Get thoughts about switching modeling configuration within the year, especially PX and NOAH.

Get ideas about how to handle initialization given the problems about initialing in the middle of the CAP.
