Hands-on review of the urban airshed model including aerosol processes (UAM-AERO). Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:339499

The UAM-AERO is a three-dimensional grid model designed to simulate the formation of particulate matter (PM) during episodic events of high urban PM concentrations. Development of the UAM-AERO began in the early 1990`s starting from the EPA`s Urban Airshed Model (UAM-IV) which has been extensively used for modeling urban ozone formation. UAM-AERO development was sponsored by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The objectives of the study were to review the UAM-AERO source code and conduct hand-on diagnostic testing and evaluation of the code function.
