DENNIS
E. MCNALLY
SENIOR SCIENTIST ALPINE GEOPHYSICS, LLC EDUCATION: M.S.
Atmospheric Sciences, University of California, Davis, California, December,
1994. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Senior
Scientist, Alpine Geophysics, Golden, CO, 1990-Present. FIELDS OF EXPERIENCE: Dennis McNally is an Atmospheric Scientist interested in applied air quality studies. He provides programming and modeling expertise for advanced photochemical and mesoscale meteorological modeling studies. He possesses a practical knowledge of the physical sciences and the computer science skills essential in mathematical modeling of environmental systems. His education has been strengthened by practical experience in atmospheric transport and process modeling through his participation in the Regional Acid Deposition Model (RADM) development program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Mr. McNally was honored by being selected as a participant in the 1990 NCAR Summer Colloquium on Mesoscale Data Assimilation. His areas of expertise include the following: Photochemical Modeling Mr. McNally has been a central participant in over 50 studies involving the application of state of science photochemical modeling systems. His experience ranges from chemical mechanism development to modeling to support regulatory issues. Over the last decade Mr. McNally has experience with the CAMx, UAM-V, UAM-IV, UAM-2, ROM 2.2, MAQSIP, SAQM and Models-3/CMAQ photochemical models. Mr. McNally has conducted numerous photochemical modeling training courses for both industrial and government groups. Meteorological Modeling Dennis has extensive experience with the application of meteorological models for air quality applications. His experience ranges from application of fairly simplistic objective/diagnostic models for screening analyses to state of science prognostic models to address regional transport. He has experience with the CSUMM, MM5 and RAMS prognostic meteorological models for applications in numerous government and industry-sponsored studies. Mr. McNally has conducted several training courses for various state and local government agencies. Model Performance Evaluation A key component to the application of meteorological and photochemical models is comparison to observations. As the developer of the MAPS model performance evaluation tool, Mr. McNally has taken evaluation techniques out of academia and made them available to the regulatory community.
