Upcoming ICAP Workshops
Second ICAP Workshop
October 21 - 22, 2004
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
USA
At a workshop in December 2001, the U.S. EPA’s Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards launched the Intercontinental Transport and
Climatic Effects of Air Pollutants (ICAP) project to establish a
better scientific foundation and to stimulate broader dialogue among
experts for addressing issues related to intercontinental transport
of pollutants and its potential impacts on regional climate. Over
the past few years, the ICAP project has sponsored the work of a
number of leading experts. This fall, EPA is sponsoring a second
workshop to review the progress that has been made among the international
scientific community and to exchange latest findings since the initiation
of the ICAP project in 2001. The Carolina Environmental Program (CEP)
of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be organizing
the workshop.
Further information on ICAP can be found at http://www.cep.unc.edu/aqforecasting/ICAP/index.shtml.
The following focus areas will be addressed through presentations
and discussion sessions during the workshop:
- Global and regional emissions inventories and data
processing and meteorological modeling for intercontinental transport
modeling studies.
- Applications and development of global and regional
chemistry-transport models to study the global and intercontinental
transport of air pollutants, including ozone, PM, and mercury.
- Applications and development of global chemistry-radiation-climate
models to study the linkages of air pollution to regional climate
and meteorological patterns.
- Modeling interface for nesting global chemistry-transport
models and regional air quality models.
- Evaluation of global and regional air quality models
using a diverse set of observational data sets.
- Regional air quality modeling studies over the United States,
Asia, and Europe.
- Simulation of hemispheric and regional air quality
for a variety of scenarios addressing future global and regional
emissions, air quality, and climate conditions.
The two-day workshop will be held on Thursday, October
21, and Friday, October 22, 2004, in the Friday Center
of the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The workshop
forum will include oral presentations, group discussion, and plenary
sessions. The ICAP
workshop will directly
follow the third annual workshop of the
Community Modeling and Analysis System
(CMAS) (October 18-20) (http://www.cmascenter.org/2004_workshop/announcement.html).
ICAP workshop registration will be available online.
Please take few minutes to register so we can plan
adequately for workshop
materials.
