© 2014 IEEE. It is essential to maintain air quality standards and inform people when air pollutant concentrations exceed permissible limits. For example, ground-level ozone, a harmful gas formed by NOx and VOCs emitted from various sources, can be estimated through integration of observation data obtained from measurement sites and effective air-quality models. This paper addresses the problem of predicting air pollution emissions over urban and suburban areas using The Air Pollution Model with Chemical Transport Model (TAPM-CTM) coupled with the Extended Fractional Kaiman Filter (EFKF) based on a Matern covariance function. Here, the ozone concentration is predicted in the airshed of Sydney and surrounding areas, where the length scale parameter I is calculated using station coordinates. For improvement of the air quality prediction, the fractional order of the EFKF is tuned by using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The proposed methodology is validated at monitoring stations and applied to obtain a spatial distribution of ozone over the region.
