  • Publication number: 20250336484
    Abstract: A system for online-coupled atmospheric chemical transport modeling and data assimilation is built using online coupling and secondary parallelization. In the prototype code of a nested air quality forecasting model system, a parallel data assimilation framework routine is introduced. The system includes observation modules, model modules, and assimilation modules. The observation module is responsible for flexible access and preprocessing of various component-type observation data. The model module handles the model integration of initial fields, involving calculations of physical and chemical processes. The assimilation module performs analysis assimilation of model state variables. This system meets the requirements for coordinated assimilation of multiple chemical component variables, simultaneous introduction and flexible combination of various types of observation data, and effective handling of non-linear and non-Gaussian distribution issues in chemical assimilation.

  • Publication number: 20250336487
    Abstract: A method and a system for reconstructing aerosol chemical components based on CNN-BiLSTM-BO, including collecting multi-source environmental observation data through observation equipment, preprocessing and extracting key characteristic variables. The pre-treated multi-source environmental observation data are input into the CNN-BILSTM model for feature analysis, and the CNN-BiLSTM hyperparameters are adjusted by Bayesian optimization algorithm to generate a reconstructed model of aerosol chemical components. After verifying the performance and stability of the reconstructed model, the predicted results of the chemical components of the aerosol are output.
