Data Transfer of TexAQS II Air Quality Model Output
| Project Period: | 06/01/2008 - 11/30/2008 |
| Total Budget: | $40,000 |
| Sub-Contractors: | University of Houston

The main objective of this project is to facilitate the transfer of air quality modeling data hosted at the University of Houston (UH) to TexAQS-II research participants and to state and federal governmental entities. UH has been operating the East Texas Air Quality (ETAQ) forecasting system for TexAQS-II for the period of June 2005-October 2006. The real-time forecasting was used for planning of daily field program operations, and to provide information on the suitability of particular cases for future modeling activities. UH has generated a retrospective modeling dataset for the intensive TexAQS-II period (mid August – early October, 2006) as part of Project H87. Assimilation of the additional MADIS data has improved model performance statistics for wind, temperature, and humidity, based on comparison of model predictions with observations. UH has also prepared a model-ready emissions inventory for TexAQS-II modeling in collaboration with the TCEQ and Alpine Geophysics.
The forecasting and retrospective modeling efforts have produced a significant amount of model input and output data. The modeling database established at UH is used to assist various research groups involved in TexAQS-II. The data needs to be transferred to other research activities, but resources were needed to achieve this. This project will accomplish the transfer of UH air quality forecasting and retrospective simulation data to TexAQS-II participants.
