MAQSIP is developed as one realization of U.S. EPA`s Models-3 concept under MCNC`s Environmental Decision Support System. While many common air quality models can be replicated using MAQSIP, its modular and flexible structure facilitates incorporation of new and improved representations and algorithms. Several sensitivity studies are being conducted by swapping MAQSIP`s process modules (e.g., advection, turbulent diffusion, chemistry). MAQSIP uses a general coordinate system to better interface with various meteorological models. It supports grids that can be nested multiple levels deep for efficient resolution of smaller-scale phenomena and allows for full interaction between disparate scales. While a broad range of air pollution problems can be attached using MAQSIP, this paper focuses on the regional ozone modeling capability.
