Abstract

The Canadian Aerosol Module [CAM] is being incorporated into a new, multi- pollutant, multi-issue Eulerian regional air quality modelling system - AURAMS [AES Unified Regional Air-Quality Modelling System] - whose first application will be to simulate paniculate matter [PM] emissions, transport, chemistry, and removal in eastern North America. CAM employs a size- distributed multi-component aerosol algorithm and has been used in Canadian climate models to assess the climatic impact of atmospheric aerosols. In addition to CAM, AURAMS will contain an emissions pre-processor, a meteorological driver, and a chemical transport model, including gas- and aq
