The interactions between climate and air quality are important yet difficult to simulate. They have been identified as one of the most uncertain areas in quantifying climate change. A unified Global-through-Urban Weather Research and Forecasting Model with Chemistry (GU-WRF/Chem) is being applied to simulate the feedbacks between global climate change and urban/regional air quality under current (2001) and future (2030, 2040, and 2050) climate and emission scenarios. The simulation results are used to understand the intricate climate-air quality interactions and to study the impact of climate and emission changes on air quality as well as climate-air quality interactions under future climate and emission scenarios.
