On May 18 at 12pm, we will host a very interesting webinar presented by Elliot Tardif, Bradley McLamb & Heather Wylie of the NC DAQ (bios below).

The 2019 ozone season was particularly challenging for the North Carolina Division of Air Quality. There were 19 days where ground-level ozone concentrations exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of 70 parts per billion averaged over 8 hours in the greater Charlotte metropolitan area, and many of those days featured meteorology that didn't fit the typical patterns we have come to expect in high ozone events. The DAQ's staff meteorologists, who prepare and distribute the daily air quality forecast for the Charlotte area and other areas across North Carolina, have led an extensive investigation into what drove these exceedances and this presentation details their findings to this point.
