PHAiRS DREAM Domain
• Domain center at (109°W, 35°N)
• Horizontal semi-staggered Arakawa E grid
• Horizontal grid spacing 1/3 degree

PHAiRS Approach• Assimilate NASA Earth observations data into a regional
dust model (DREAM) nested in the NCEP/Eta weather forecasting model to– simulate dust entrainment and dispersion patterns– replace traditional model parameters with actual measurements – improve dust forecasts by combining atmospheric and land
surface measurements that influence health outcomes. • Use air quality data to
– verify & validate model outputs of dust episodes– transition modeled dust concentrations with air quality standards
• Develop integrated forecast products for users– model output 24-36 hour animated regional forecasts– provide fully interoperable SOAP and SOA interfaces and web-
based services for health care communities and authorities

Aims are to: (1) replaceselected trays in therack with regularlyrefreshed EO digitaldata from the“terrain.” “surfaceconditions,” and“atmospheric”parameters thatdrive DREAM; (2)improve modeloutput withoutaltering the validityof the model’s originalfunction; and (3)convert the model to amore dynamic forecast.
