model evaluation methods to increase knowledge about relevant processes and
support the use of models for policy development, and initiating a coordinated
research project on model evaluation/intercomparison. A major outcome from the
Workshop was the plan for a near-term North American/European air quality
model intercomparison using modeling platforms from both continents, and including
aspects of all four types of model evaluations contained in the framework including
the demonstration of new methods of evaluation. In addition to this activity, a plan
is being developed to establish a long-term vision for maintaining international
collaboration in model evaluation and rapidly advancing the science in air quality
models. Detailed information on AQMEII and its initiative is available at the
