Description:
The project name is ""Assessing the impact of limb sounding on the forecasting of surface pollution and the Air Quality Health Index"". It is generally assumed that stratospheric profile measurements from a space-based limb sounding instrument will lead to improved air quality forecasts (including the Air Quality Health Index). This project will conduct a thorough assessment using the ECCC air quality model and prediction system. Measurements of ozone and nitrogen dioxide from Canada's OSIRIS instrument will be assimilated, and validation and forecast evaluation will be performed using the ACE-FTS instrument on Canada's SCISAT and the North American surface monitoring network.
