Example Ozone Forecast

U.S. EPA Meteorological Observations Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNet) Approximately 75 sites across the U.S. Meteorology observations include: wind, temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and solar radiation Observations are not currently collected in real-time, but may be in the future.

Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model development A member of the WRF development working group Involved in WRF chemistry modeling, land-surface modeling, boundary layer modeling and data assimilation Currently implementing new physics schemes in WRF Working on coupling WRF with CMAQ

Model Evaluation Tools and Techniques Actively involved in meteorological model evaluation Improvement and development of evaluation methods Atmospheric Model Evaluation Tool (AMET)

U.S. EPA Benefits from WIST Improved weather forecasts and dissemination of weather products to the surface transportation sector will mitigate hazardous spills/releases and polluting materials that result from accidents or road maintenance More efficient travel will reduce emissions to the atmosphere and potentially improve air quality
