WRF-Chem (Weather Research and Forecasting model with chemistry)

WRF-Chem is a scientific computer model that simulates both weather patterns and air quality. It predicts how atmospheric conditions like temperature, wind, and humidity evolve over time, while also tracking the formation and dispersion of pollutants, such as ozone and particulate matter. By integrating weather forecasting with chemical processes, WRF-Chem helps researchers understand how emissions impact air quality and climate. It’s used for environmental planning, policy assessment, and studying the interactions between weather and pollution, providing detailed, location-specific insights into the atmosphere’s behavior.
