Multi-Meteorology Air Quality Ensemble WRF SMOKE CMAQ Produce eight members by varying WRF-ARW physics: • SW & LW Radiation (Goddard/RRTM and CAM) • Surface and Boundary Layer (MYJ and Yonsei University) • Cumulus (New Kain-Fritsch and Grell-Devenyi Ensemble) Test on Summer 2006 ozone events in northeast U.S. Explore research questions: • How sensitive is emissions model to physics options? • How sensitive is air quality model to physics options? • Is the spread sufficient to represent forecast uncertainty?
