Project Number: 022
Category: Combustion Products
This project focuses on the analysis and evaluation of modeling tools and datasets, with special focus on the testing of the APMT. Researchers will continue to develop the APMT to ensure that the underlying physics of the model are addressed properly. The University of Illinois team is working to ensure the APMT links between aviation combustion products and atmospheric impacts and the representation of the components of the cause-effect chain properly represent the newest science.
The team will evaluate APMT calculated effects against those derived from using three-dimensional models, such as the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and the atmospheric portion of CESM for select scenarios. The team will use the results to evaluate where the developed APMT zonal and regional version model refinement is adequate for or is beyond the need of addressing various policy questions. If not adequate, the team will advise MIT on the level and type of refinement needed.
