Repository for the experimental version of the Advanced National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC), which is based on the NACC (included as a submodule) coupling of the NOAA FV3-Global Forecast System, Version 16 (GFSv16) with CMAQv5.3.1. (https://www.weather.gov/sti/stimodeling_airquality_predictions)
The major science updates to the Advanced NAQFC, based on NACC-CMAQ, was developed by Patrick C. Campbell, Youhua Tang, Barry Baker, and the supporting NOAA-ARL researchers.
