Developing advanced air quality models that can simulate the transport and fate of pollutants in the atmosphere. Today, we are developing advanced modeling and decision support systems for effective forecasting and management of the Nation's air quality.
WHAT WE DO
- Develop models used by EPA, NOAA, and the general air pollution community in understanding and forecasting not only the magnitude of the air pollution problem, but also in developing emission control policies and regulations.
- Provide a sound scientific and technical basis for regulatory policies.
- Conduct atmospheric research in-house and through contract and cooperative agreements with other agencies, academia, and the private sector.
- Work in partnership with EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) and Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS).
WHO WE ARE
The Atmospheric Sciences Modeling Division (ASMD) of NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) was established in 1955 to collaborate with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its predecessor agencies in developing advanced air quality models that can simulate the transport and fate of pollutants in the atmosphere. Today, we are developing advanced modeling and decision support systems for effective forecasting and management of the Nation's air quality.
