Modeling agricultural air quality: Current status, major challenges, and outlook

Agricultural air quality is an important emerging area of atmospheric sciences that represents significant challenges in many aspects of research including measurements, modeling, regulations, emission control, and operation managements. This work presents a review of current status, major challenges, and future research needs and opportunities of several important aspects of agricultural air quality modeling including chemical species, concentration and deposition measurements for model verification, emission inventories, major physical and chemical processes, model application and evaluation, and policy implications.
