This Project Grant award of $375,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of CHEMPAS-A, a new atmospheric chemistry modeling system that integrates additional chemistry features into the Model for Prediction Across Scales-Atmosphere (MPAS-A) global weather model.

The key objectives are to create a stable, user-friendly, and high-performance modeling software that enables the efficient integration of new scientific processes and algorithms. This is achieved through the implementation of the Multi-scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols (MUSICA) library and an innovative scripting capability called QUACS (Quick Updates to Aerosol and Chemistry Systems for Next Generation Multi-Scale Models). QUACS empowers domain specialists and students to quickly explore, test, and improve atmospheric chemistry representations, accelerating scientific advancements and sustaining innovation in this field. The project, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030, is designed to benefit both science and society by improving the understanding and prediction of air quality, chemical movements, and atmospheric processes.
