Abstract
The 3SAQS project performed photochemical grid modeling (PGM) for the year 2011 using the
Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) version 6.10. The
3SAQS 2011 Modeling Protocol details the CAMx configuration and justification for why it was chosen for the 3SAQS.
TheVersion initialA of the 3SAQS
base 2011 modeling platform
(3SAQS_Base11a) includes CAMx results for
36-km, 12-km, and 4-km modeling domains.
Later versions of theThe 3SAQS
20112011a modeling platform
willis evolving to include
a future projection year (2020), diagnostic sensitivity case studies, and a
Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model simulation. The set-up and configuration of the 3SAQS 2011 platform was derived from the
3SAQS 2008 version B (3SAQS_CAMx_Base08b) modeling platform, but differs significantly in the input data and models used in the simulation.
