Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) Air Quality Forecasting Program
For over two decades, Sonoma Technology has operated and maintained the air quality forecasting program for MORPC in Columbus, Ohio. From March through October, Sonoma Technology meteorologists generate daily forecasts for ground-level ozone concentrations. Daily PM<sub>2.5</sub> forecasts are issued year-round to account for and predict long-range transport of wildfire smoke and emissions related to residential wood burning during the winter months. Regional reductions in emissions have resulted in improved air quality for the 15-county region that MORPC oversees.<br>

Along with daily forecast operations, Sonoma Technology meteorologists provide MORPC public outreach support, which includes communicating with organizations and the media and producing monthly and annual air quality reports for public distribution.
