6. Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) The U.S. Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) is an operational global aerosol transport model used to forecast visibility conditions for fleet operations and motivate basic research. 6-day forecasts every 6 hours of global sulfate, SO 2, dust, smoke and sea-salt mass concentrations. Grid:.33°x.33° degree; 25 sigma levels to 100 mb http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/aerosol

8. International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction: Formalizing the Aerosol Prediction Community After an initial 2010 Monterey meeting, aerosol forecast system developers meet annually under the ICAP umbrella. Developers do not officially speak for their lab or make commitments, but rather gather discuss problems and best practices. ICAP allows developers to speak as a community and make scientific recommendations. “Ticket to Ride” is a global aerosol model running at least quasi operationally or a global satellite data provider. Current model members: BSC, ECMWF, JMA, NASA GMAO, NOAA NCEP, NRL, UKMO ICAP has made significant headway in convincing international agencies to expend resources on aerosol forecasting problems.
