Abstract

At the Houston air quality forecasting (AQF) workshop held in Houston, Texas, participants affirmed that improved air quality forecasts would increase the protection of human health from a range of threats and would aid in the long-term management of mobile and fixed emission sources. In addition, improved forecasts would reduce the impacts on agriculture as well as facilitate short-term targeted restrictions on emission sources to reduce pollution severity. Five work groups were constituted to focus on five areas which are as follows: stakeholder and societal impacts; boundary layer dynamics; clouds and aersols; measurements and modeling; and operational air quality forecasting.
