GEOS-GOCART Analysis AOD GFS-GOCART Dust concentration forecast
In-Line Chem Advantages • Consistent: all transport done by meteorology model • Same vertical and horizontal coordinates (no horizontal and vertical interpolation) • Same physics parameterization for subgrid scale transport • No interpolation in time • Easy handling (Data management) • Most efficient (overall CPU costs)
Earth Systems Modeling Framework at NCEP • NOAA is moving toward placing modeling systems under the multi-agency unified Earth Systems Modeling Framework (ESMF) • The NCEP Global Forecasting System (GFS) and North American Model (NAM) NMM dynamics and physics have been incorporated into ESMF National Environmental Modeling System (NEMS) • Code simplicity and clarity are essential so that most users can understand code with relative ease

NEMS Pollutant Plans • Loose Coupled:Stand alone chemistry/dispersion model (1-2 years) • Put CMAQ/GOCART/HYSPLIT into ESMF compatible format • Write interface between atm-chem models as a separate component • NOAH LSM exports to drive chemistry biogenic emission & dry deposition • Radiation parameters exports to chemistry for photolysis computations • Tight Concurrent Coupled: Unified met-dispersion physics/dynamics (3-5 years) • Test tracer capability for mass consistency (NMMB, GFS) • Create AQ I/O Interface: anthropogenic sources, smoke, ash • Create independent CB05/AERO/GOCART/HYSPLIT subroutines (1-D) • Pollutant processes: chemistry if any, wet & dry deposition • Transfer species to dynamics coupler for advection, horizontal diffusion • Transfer species to physics: turbulence, convection routines for turbulent and convective mixing • Transfer aerosol output to radiation and cloud microphysics to allow aerosol feedbacks on meteorology
Potential Additional Volcanic Ash Focus & Data Needs • USGS volcano types to improve emission rates • Improved plume height estimation • Hysplit ensemble minimization • satellite estimates • Leverage on-going global aerosol data assimilation developments for Volcanic ash • NCEP GSI 3-D VAR aerosol optical depth assimilation system • Phase I: Assimilate MODIS, GOES, OMI AOD products • Phase II:AVHRR, MISR, etc and direct radiance assimilation
Operational Upgrades • Development phase (0-2 years) • Complete model development within NEMS with OAR & NASA and other research collaborators • Begin retrospective testing to compare results with current operational systems • Experimental testing ( 2-3 years) • Transition initial NEMS codes to NWS/NCEP operational center • Provide and evaluate real-time experimental forecasts to focus group of interested forecasters • Operational Implementation (3 years) • Modified model configuration based on subjective and quantitative evaluations w/ current operational system • Additional resources made available to support operational forecast timing requirements • Distribution through current VAAC pathways and possibly NDGD and AWIPS
