Description

In a previous project, RWDI Air Inc. was retained in part to produce a subset of Mesoscale Model version 5 (MM5) output files covering the Province of Alberta based on model outputs for the 2002 model year provided by Environment Canada. MM5 is a model used for creating weather forecasts and climate projections. This document reports on a review of the overall performance of the model in a general sense for a limited number of key parameters and to address some issues related to the data.

Description

There are a number of areas throughout the province of Alberta where oil and gas exploration and other industrial activities result in the release of substances to the atmosphere. In many of these regions, meteorological observations are scarce. To improve air quality management, Alberta Environment would like to take advantage of a meteorological dataset generated by Environment Canada for other air quality modelling purposes. Alberta Environment retained a contractor to develop a software utility that can be used to produce meteorological inputs from this dataset for a variety of commonly used air quality models. This report provides an overview of the methodology adopted to complete this.
