2018Joint ABaCAS and CMAQ/SMOKE Training Workshop

Date: May 21, 2018 (Monday)

Venue: Beiyuan Hotel, Beijing, China

Important Note: Please download and install the ABaCAS software package and CMAS/SMOKE training materialsbefore attending the workshop. They will be available for downloading by May14 at

«

This joint training workshop will be conducted in English.

Workshop Goal:

The goal of this workshop is to promote the use of scientifically sound air quality decision support and modeling system to help developing effective control strategies in reducing regional and urban air pollution and health impacts in Asia. This workshop will serve as a forum for information exchange, capacity building and technology transfer of advanced air quality modeling and air pollution control benefit/cost and attainment assessment systemsfor air quality managers and scientists in Asia. TheABaCAS morning training sessions will focus on the “Air Benefit and Cost and Attainment Assessment System” (ABaCAS), including (1) a streamlined edition of ABaCAS (ABaCAS-SE), (2) a health/economic benefit tool (BenMAP-CE, (3) an attainment assessment tool (SMAT-CE), (4) a real-time air quality responsestool (RSM-VAT), (5) a cost estimate tool (ICET), (6) a multi-scale air quality modeling visualization and analysis tool (Model-VAT), and (7) a monitor and model data fusion tool (Data Fusion Tool). The CMAQ/SMOKE afternoon training sessions will focus on (1) Community Multi-scale air quality (CMAQ) modeling system and (2) SMOKE emission modeling system.
