  1. Organization of Course Overall Project Issues & Examples Emissions Inventories Source-Receptor Post-Processing Source-Attribution for Deposition Model Evaluation Model Intercomparison Collaboration Possibilities INTRODUCTION Course overview Air Toxics overview HYSPLIT overview HYSPLIT Theory and Practice Meteorology Back Trajectories Concentrations / Deposition HYSPLIT-SV for semivolatiles (e.g, PCDD/F) HYSPLIT-HG for mercury

  2. There are Many Opportunities for Collaboration • HYSPLIT can be used for fate/transport and trajectory modeling • Sharing of Data • Emissions Inventories • Meteorological Data • Monitoring Data for Model Evaluation • There is strong interest at NOAA and elsewhere in the Gulf of Mexico …an area of joint concern • The NOAA Air Resources Lab has a mercury measurement site on the Northern Gulf of Mexico Coast… to interpret measurements there and to evaluate our models against these measurements, we are interested in atmospheric mercury emissions, fate, and transport in Mexico

  7. There are Many Opportunities for Collaboration • HYSPLIT can be used for fate/transport and trajectory modeling • Sharing of Data • Emissions Inventories • Meteorological Data • Monitoring Data for Model Evaluation • There is strong interest at NOAA and elsewhere in the Gulf of Mexico …an area of joint concern • The NOAA Air Resources Lab has a mercury measurement site on the Northern Gulf of Mexico Coast… to interpret measurements there and to evaluate our models against these measurements, we are interested in atmospheric mercury emissions, fate, and transport in Mexico • Inclusion of Requested Receptors in Future Projects • Collaboration with special HYSPLIT versions (mercury, dioxin…) • Model Intercomparisons
