Biography

Mariusz Pagowski received his MSc (1993) and PhD (1997) from York University in Toronto, Canada. His areas of interest include boundary layer, mesoscale modeling, fog, air quality, ensembles and data assimilation. After receiving his PhD he worked at the University of Toronto and Meteorological Service of Canada. He joined CIRA in 2002.

Figure

Above: WRF/Chem is an online chemistry model that predicts concentrations of chemical species in the atmospherie. A data assimilation system based on Grid Statistical Interpolation is being developed that includes WRF/Chem and surface observations of ozone and fine aerosols. Typical results of ozone assimilation on correlation and bias are shown. Even for such volatile species as ground ozone significant improvement can be noted.
