dispersion simulation for future emission events

Post by itscd »

Hi, i'm working on a fire model which can predict the occurrence and timing of wildfires and estimate the corresponding pm2.5 emissions within a certain geographic region between 2030 and 2100. I was wondering, if it is possible to project the dispersion of pm2.5 emitted from future wildfires (2030-2100)? My experience with HYSPLIT tells me that if there are meteorological data that cover the targeted spatial and temporal domains, i should be able to do it. However, no supported meteorological data (https://www.ready.noaa.gov/READYmetdata.php) cover beyond a few days into the future. Can someone please share your wisdom with me regarding this? Thanks!

If you have meteorological-climate model simulation output, then you can convert the output to create ARL files for input into HYSPLIT. The HYSPLIT modeling system comes with several meteorological converters for doing this.
