WRF Tracer Forecasts for ASIA-AQ

A 5-km resolution domain was used for WRF, with tracers based on CO emissions for numerous regions and from fires, and NO emissions for anthropogenic point sources and ship emissions.  Airmass age was also calculated for fires and anthropogenic emissions. 

MUSICAv0 Forecasts

MUSICAv0 forecasts used the CAM component of CESM, simulating aerosols with specified oxidants, with also a number of tagged CO tracers.  A regionally refined grid with 12-km resolution over Asia was used.
