Development of a regional-scale pollen release and transport modeling framework for investigating the impact of climate change on allergic airway disease
T. Duhl,R. Zhang,Alex Guenther,Serena H. Chung,Jeremy Avise,Brian Lamb,Timothy M. VanReken,Richard C. Flagan,James M. House +8 more
TL;DR: A regional-scale pollen emission and transport modeling framework was developed that treats allergenic pollens as non-reactive tracers within the WRF/CMAQ air-quality modeling system and shows reasonable agreement with observed birch, olive, and mulberry tree pollen concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a regional-scale pollen emission and transport modeling framework for investigating the impact of climate change on allergic airway disease
R. Zhang,T. Duhl,Muhammad T. Salam,James M. House,Richard C. Flagan,Edward L. Avol,Frank D. Gilliland,Alex Guenther,Serena H. Chung,Brian Lamb,Timothy M. VanReken +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional-scale pollen emission and transport modeling framework was developed that treated allergenic pollens as non-reactive tracers within the coupled Weather Research and Forecasting Community Multiscale Air Quality (WRF/CMAQ) modeling system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air quality simulations of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest evaluated with surface and satellite observations during the summers of 2007 and 2008
F. L. Herron-Thorpe,George H. Mount,Louisa K. Emmons,Brian Lamb,Daniel A. Jaffe,N.L. Wigder,Serena H. Chung,R. Zhang,Matthew D. Woelfle,Joseph K. Vaughan +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional air quality forecasting system for the Pacific Northwest was carried out using a suite of surface and satellite observations, and plume rise was simulated using two different methods: the Fire Emission Production Simulator (FEPS) and the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel emissions (SMOKE) model.

The Simulator of the Timing and Magnitude of Pollen Season (STaMPS) model: a pollen production model for regional emission and transport modeling
T. Duhl,R. Zhang,Alex Guenther,Serena H. Chung,Muhammad T. Salam,James M. House,Richard C. Flagan,Edward L. Avol,Frank D. Gilliland,Brian Lamb,Timothy M. VanReken,Y.Q. Zhang,Eric P. Salathé +12 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors developed a pollen model that simulates the timing and production of wind-dispersed allergenic pollen by terrestrial, temperate vegetation to quantify how pollen occurrence may be affected by climate change and to investigate how pollen can interact with anthropogenic pollutants to affect human health.
Toward a chemical climatology of ozone contributions from long range transport in the pacific northwest -- incorporation of ozone tracers in the airpact-4 air quality forecast system
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of long-range transport (LRT) and of stratospheric ozone intrusion (SOI) on air quality have been investigated and evaluated using air quality modeling.
