PRE-TECT is supported by operational modeling simulations for the forecasting of meteorological and air quality properties. Forecasting meteorological fields (wind speed, sea level pressure, temperature, cloudiness and backtrajectories) are available at various levels from the atmospheric models WRF_ARW, WRF_NMM and FLEXPART-WRF. Forecast of atmospheric pollutants (dust, smoke, sulphates, seasalt, carbon monoxide) are provided by NMM-DREAM, FLEXPART-WRF, RAMS and MACC-CAMS models. A description of the available forecasts follows below.
