Welcome to the Korean Air Quality Forecasting System(KAQFS). |
|
The system predicts air pollution concentrations of PM10,
O3 and NO2 for up to 48 hours ahead at 03:00 and |
| |
15:00 LST every day. |
|
The system consists of MM5(Mesoscale Model 5) to process the
meteorological field, SMOKE(Sparse Matrix Operator
|
| |
Kernel Emissions Modeling System) to calculate the
speciated hourly emission data from Ace-Asia and CAPSS(Clean Air Policy Support System)
inventories, and CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) model to
simulate the chemical transport. |
|
The forecasting system was developed by the
research team led by Prof. Youn-Seo Koo in Anyang University. |
| |
Kangwon National University(Prof.
Jong-Bum Lee) and Korea National University of Education
(Prof. Yoon-Sup Moon) were partially participated for
the development of O3 prediction system and MM5 setup,
respectively. The Institute of the Environment in UNC(University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) also participated in
the optimization of the system. Enitech, Ltd. is now
taking charge of operating the forecasting system. It had been operated
from 2007 and it was replaced with the following system in 2010. |
