2. Outline: Status: –Reliability –Dairy Ammonia emissions –BlueSky wildfire emissions (PM 2.5 & CO) –(Adjusted Mozart Boundary conditions) –(QuickLook Verification) –Off-line & selective Hg modeling –Dec 2005 PM 2.5 Analysis

3. Near-Term Objectives and work in progress Convert rainier AIRPACT operations to new Linux box Re & Development of web sites WEPS integration Aug-Nov 2004 Evaluation (& Pathfinding) Push Forecasts out to 48 or 72 hrs? Nest to higher resolution sub-domains?

4. Who’s working on what Re & Development of web sites: Jennifer Hinds Hg, N, S deposition (RGI): Matt Porter Wind Erosion Prediction System: Li Wang AIRPACT-3(+) evaluation for 2004Jack Chen Conversion to new linux system: Joe Vaughan Satellite data retrieval: Farren Thorpe Wildfire emissions: Jeremy Avise and Jack Chen

5. Reliability –November 2006? Only Nov 26 run CMAQ failed to complete Failsafe’s operation ran successfully for retrieving EPA CMAQ results Only to fail on disk space in graphics generation… –CMAQ and forecast graphics generally complete by 4 AM.

14. Moving rainier operations to new linux box Rainier is (1990s era) DEC-Compaq-HP alpha-based w/ Unix New box is AMD w/ Debian Linux Issues: –compiler switches –routine name ‘mangling’ –library creation –path changes –testing

15. Re & Development of Web Sites WSU Publication’s Content Mgmt System Putting web authoring control in LAR Strategy -- –Shorten cycle for updating project contents. –Standardize web code/technology across projects. –Get standard content in place, then –Focus on data graphics generation, tools, and downloads.
