of operational air quality forecasts including both ozone and

particulates across the entire continental US at a variety of

scales. Recently, BAMS was awarded a NASA cooperative agreement

to infuse its existing operational decision support systems

with advanced, remotely-sensed measurements of aerosols and other

atmospheric trace gas constituents from the MODIS and AURA platforms,

as well as to concurrently improve a variety of modeling system

components including the land-surface, emissions, meteorological,

and photochemical modeling sub-systems, including clouds and

relative humidity. In this talk, PI McHenry will provide an

overview of the project, the status of progress, and near-term

plans.
