AQMEII Phase 4

Project Goals

- Quantify the performance and variability of dry and wet deposition fields simulated by multiple state-of-science regional air quality models.
- Document deposition schemes and key parameters used in these models.
- Perform box model simulations to quantify the impacts of different deposition schemes and parameters on simulated dry deposition.
- Investigate methods for using simulated meteorological, concentration, and deposition fields from multiple models in conjunction with available observations to estimate maps of total deposition and critical load exceedances
