Projectdetails

Introduction

AQplus4 will develop the first scientifically sound operational air quality forecasting system based on innovative deep learning and IT technology.

Project Background

Based on the successful development of AI air quality forecasting models in the IntelliAQ advanced grant, we will explore the combination of several deep learning models into one coherent concept.

Objectives

  1. Test the transferability to new air pollutant species.
  2. Test the transferability to other world regions.
  3. Cover the necessary technical developments to prepare the data processing and deep learning software for operational use.

Stakeholder Engagement

We shall set up a dialogue with two identified stakeholders (UBA Germany and NIER Korea) to discuss the following:

  • Data processing and forecasting requirements.
  • Deployment and maintenance options.

The stakeholder exchange will also include training activities, including extended training of a Korean researcher.

Importance of Air Quality Forecasts

Timely and reliable air quality forecasts are important to issue health warnings and prepare mitigation measures.

Previous Achievements

IntelliAQ has demonstrated higher accuracy forecasts compared to conventional chemistry transport model results.

Future Impact

The AQplus4 system will therefore constitute an important breakthrough innovation that may later be adopted at several environmental monitoring agencies around the world.
