CMAS: Seven Years of Success
The CMAS Center was established in 2001 as a mechanism for transferring state-of-the-science air quality modeling to the community
Serves as a bridge between various segments of the air quality modeling community
Fosters the growth of the developer and user communities
Serves as a clearinghouse of information Is a hub for education and training about
modeling

CMAS Model Research (Collaboration with EPA/NERL & EPA/OAQPS)
Coupled WRF/CMAQ– Aerosol Feedbacks from the CMAQ Model to the Radiation
Model in the WRF Model– High time resolution data exchange
Hemispheric (WRF/CMAQ)– Consistent chemistry and meteorology at all scales
Variable Grid CMAQ– Computationally efficient, avoids nesting
New techniques for assimilating satellite-derived surface temperature in PX LSM within WRF– Satellite-derived surface solar insolation and albedo
WRF-Var 3D/4D variational data assimilation system – Optimum interpolation of observation int first guess
Training New this year BenMAP
and WRF (for air quality) Four training sessions
per year (Chapel Hill) in addition to users’ locations– CMAQ
– SMOKE
– BenMAP
Onsite CMAS training (2008)– Mexico City (SMOKE)
