Description: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Dr. Adel F. Hanna, Chief Scientist, Environmental Programs, MCNC, North Carolina Super Computing Center, and Dr. Magdy El Messiry, Vice Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, in Egypt. The two scientists plan to address the use of advanced air quality modeling and analysis techniques. Among the models to be used are: a mesoscale meteorology model, an emission model, and an atmospheric chemistry-transport model. Two workshops are planned, one in the United States and one in Egypt. The first will demonstrate and review state of the science modeling tools as discussed earlier. In the second, the participants will establish the requirements, resources, and priorities that will facilitate the application of modeling systems in regulatory air quality management in Egypt. The participants will include scientists and engineers from academic, government, and private sector organizations in Egypt, in addition to the US participants. Scope: The US team includes mathematical and environmental analysts, and computer modeling specialists, while the Egyptian side includes atmospheric scientists and industrial environmentalists. The US team is expected to benefit from the testing of US-developed models and techniques in a new environmental setting. The Egyptian side will learn new modeling techniques and become equipped and prepared to apply them to air pollution problems in that country. This proposal meets INT objective of supporting US-foreign collaboration in areas of mutual benefit. The project was generated as a result of a workshop on environmentally clean manufacturing that was organized, in 1996, by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Egyptian Government. EPA was involved in the evaluation of the project and in recommending its support. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, administered by the US Department of State, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out cooperative activities.

描述：该奖项是为了支持阿德尔F博士的一个合作项目。北卡罗来纳州超级计算中心MCNC环境项目首席科学家Hanna和埃及亚历山大大学工程学院副院长Magdy El Messiry博士。 两位科学家计划使用先进的空气质量建模和分析技术。 将使用的模型包括：中尺度气象学模型、排放模型和大气化学传输模型。 计划举办两个讲习班，一个在美国，一个在埃及。 第一部分将演示和回顾前面讨论过的科学建模工具的现状。 在第二阶段，与会者将确定要求、资源和优先事项，以促进埃及空气质量监管中建模系统的应用。 与会者将包括来自埃及学术、政府和私营部门组织的科学家和工程师，以及美国的与会者。 适用范围：美国团队包括数学和环境分析师以及计算机建模专家，而埃及方面则包括大气科学家和工业环保主义者。 预计美国团队将受益于在新环境中测试美国开发的模型和技术。 埃及方面将学习新的建模技术，并准备好将其应用于该国的空气污染问题。 该提案符合INT支持美国与外国在互利领域合作的目标。 该项目是1996年由环境保护局和埃及政府组织的环境清洁制造讲习班的结果。 环境保护局参与了对该项目的评估，并建议给予支持。 该项目得到美国-埃及联合基金方案的支持，该方案由美国国务院管理，向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展合作活动。
