10. PHAiRS Approach Assimilate NASA Earth observations data into a regional dust model (DREAM) nested in the NCEP/Eta weather forecasting model to –simulate dust entrainment and dispersion patterns –replace traditional model parameters with actual measurements –improve dust forecasts by combining atmospheric and land surface measurements that influence health outcomes. Use air quality data to –verify & validate model outputs of dust episodes –transition modeled dust concentrations with air quality standards Develop integrated forecast products for users –model output 24-36 hour animated regional forecasts –provide fully interoperable SOAP and SOA interfaces and web- based services for health care communities and authorities Commission VIII-WG2Courtesy, PHAiRS
