TL;DR: In this article, the default soil parameters were compared to measured soil properties from a soil database including 6749 soil samples located within and around Texas, and the results indicated the importance of accounting for spatial variability of soil parameters rather than combining these parameters into texture classes alone.

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for using the satellite observed clouds to correct photolysis rates in photochemical models was introduced. But the results clearly indicate that inaccurate cloud prediction in the model can significantly alter the predicted atmospheric chemical composition within the boundary layer and exaggerate or underpredict ozone concentration.

TL;DR: The overprediction of surface wind speed during nighttime by the Advanced Research core of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-ARW) model was investigated for a period of the Second Texas Air Quality Study (28 May-3 July 2006) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: For example, high mixing ratios of ozone along the shores of Lake Michigan have been a recurring theme over the last 40 years and models continue to have difficulty in replicating ozone behavior in the reg...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite tropospheric NO2 columns from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) together with NO2 column from the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) to make top-down NOx emissions estimates using the mass balance method.
