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 modelingdeveloped photochemical grid model (PGM) platforms, model sensitivity analyses and source apportionment modeling, and contains additional descriptive and graphical results that supplement the content of WAQS technical reports.
