U.S. EPA 2016 Air Quality Modeling Performance Evaluation Collaborative
Description
U.S. EPA OAQPS is running CMAQ and CAMx to simulate 2016 and future year air quality using emissions developed for the National Emissions Modeling Collaborative. A collaborative of federal/regional/state/local/tribal air agency scientists and planners was created to review and evaluate the 2016 modeling results. This page provides a portal to static model performance evaluation (MPE) plots and interactive web pages for probing the modeling results.
