Abstract

Compared to weather forecasting, air quality forecasting is a young science, dating back only to the early 1960s. Air quality forecasts are generally classified into two subgroups: health-alert and emergency-response predictions. Forecasting atmospheric conditions is critical for understanding the formation, transformation, diffusion, transport, and removal of pollutants. Improving atmospheric forecasts to provide improved air quality forecasts suitable for decision makers and the public is a major challenge.
