High-performance computing helps researchers predict air pollution events

Urban air pollution is a major concern for Santiago, Chile, home to nearly 6 million people. The city lies in a basin surrounded by the Andes Mountains, and vehicle and industrial emissions tend to linger – especially in May June, and July when weather conditions make the air more stagnant.
