This paper describes a 48-hour air quality forecast system that is targeted towards the Czech Republic. It is currently being tested for operational usage at the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI). The air quality forecast (AQF) is designed to provide air quality predictions for the Czech Republic, and thereby compliment forecasts from MEDARD which also focuses on a similar domain. The forecast will principally be operated to supplement existing air quality information that is provided by the CHMI to the public. This CHMI AQF is based on the chemical transport model CAMx. Meteorological inputs are obtained from the ALADIN NWP model, run operationally at the CHMI. Anthropogenic emissions are prepared from a number of sources including the Czech Republic's national emission inventory. This, in particular, allows detailed emission information to be processed for the Czech Republic. A modified version of SMOKE is used to process emissions. The emission processing work has allowed some emission sources to be released into above-ground layers with the aim of reflecting the real situation as best as practicable. Biogenic emissions are prepared using BEIS. Boundary conditions for the model are extracted from MACC products. Performance evaluation of the forecast has not been completed and therefore results are not yet available. Nonetheless, the chosen configurations are documented.
