Mission

The mission of the atmospheric chemistry working group is to guide the development of the capability to simulate chemistry and aerosols — online as well as offline — within the WRF model.  The resulting WRF/Chem model will have the option to simulate the coupling between dynamics, radiation and chemistry. Uses include forecasting chemical-weather, testing air pollution abatement strategies, planning and forecasting for field campaigns, analyzing measurements from field campaigns and the assimilation of satellite and in-situ chemical measurements.

Interaction with other WRF Groups

The initial development of WRF/Chem is involved with the Numerics and Model Dynamics (WG1), Model Physics (WG5), and  Land Surface Modeling (WG14).
