Περιγραφή
The Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII), started in 2008 by the U.S. EPA, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and the European Commission Joint Research Center (JRC), has had as its primary goal the collaboration of the European and North American regional scale air quality modeling communities on the topic of model evaluation. The activity is organized around the concept of Operational, Diagnostic, Dynamic and Probabilistic evaluation defined by Dennis et al. (2010). The key elements driving the AQMEII process are regular dedicated workshops, the organization of international model evaluation studies, and the dissemination of findings from these studies in the peer-reviewed literature. Representatives from the U.S. EPA and JRC serve as co-chairs of the activity. To date, AQMEII has completed three phases of collaborative model evaluation and intercomparison activities and is currently organizing a fourth phase. These collaborations involved a total of 37 groups from 17 countries.
