We utilize a heterogeneous coupled lattice-gas (HCLG) approach to connect the length scales from a realistic atomistic description of surface reactions to the associated mesoscale spatiotemporal behavior. This method is applied to describe reaction front structure in a model for CO oxidation on Pd(100) which incorporates complex ordering of CO and O adlayers, and a precise treatment of the chemical diffusion for interacting CO adlayers in an environment of coadsorbed O.
