An Operational Numerical Air Quality
Forecasting over Eastern China
Conclusions:
• An operational numerical system (RAEMS) was constructed to forecast the air
quality over eastern China based on WRF-Chem and MEIC inventory
• The performance is consistent in different forecast length of 24h, 48h, and 72h
• About half of cities has R of over 0.6 for PM2.5 and 0.7 for O3-8h
• PM2.5 concentrations agree with observation and so is O3 diurnal variation
• General slight underestimating for PM2.5 and over- for O3
