Short summary
This paper describes efforts to develop aerosol data assimilation capabilities for NOAA’s regional air quality modeling system by assimilating PM2.5 observations within the Joint Effort for Data Assimilation Integration framework. Results from the September 2020 Western U.S. wildfires show that assimilating AirNow and/or PurpleAir PM2.5 data reduces mean absolute errors of 1–24 h PM2.5 forecasts over the continental United States on average relative to a control without data assimilation.
