Fiscal year 1993 summary report of NOAA Atmospheric Sciences Modeling Division support to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Technical memo
The primary research efforts were the development and evaluation of air quality models using numerical and physical techniques supported by field studies, and the initiation of studies under the High Performance Computing and Communications program. These efforts included development of a high resolution version of the Regional Acid Deposition Model; development of the Comprehensive Sulfate Tracking Model; improvement of the advanced land-surface and PBL model; sensitivity analysis of the Regional Oxidant Model; analysis of visibility trends; development of an empirical model relating vehicle fleet-averaged emissions to repair and malfunction rates; conduct of a wind-tunnel study of dispersion from surface coal mines; development of a new version of the Biogenic Emission Inventory System; examination of the spatial and temporal variability of daily one-hour maximum ozone concentrations over non-urban areas; and conduct of an analysis of the meteorological factors associated with the high surface ozone in 1988 and 1990.
