The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Prediction operates the U.S. Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) which uses primarily the U.S Environmental Protection Agency’s Community Multi-Scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. NAQFC focuses on surface ozone and PM2.5 (particle matter with diameter \textless2.5 µm), which impacts human-health. Near surface ozone mainly comes from photochemical reactions of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Its sources in upper layers could come from either long-range transport or stratospheric ozone. Most PM2.5 comes from near-surface primary emissions or secondary generation from photochemical reactions. During the summer 2014 NASA Discover-AQ-Colorado program, the NOAA Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) provided a real-time forecast in support of aircraft measurements with 12 km CONUS (Contiguous United States) and 4 km nested domains. Here we compare the model results with the aircraft data to investigate our predictions.
