The 1997 Southern California ozone study-NARSTO: IOP forecast protocols and episode selection
- South Coast Air Quality Management District, Diamond Bar, CA (United States)
The forecast protocol and episode selection for intensive field monitoring operations was critical to the success of the 1997 summer Southern California Ozone Study-NARSTO. The forecast team of the Meteorological Working Group conducted daily forecasts for maximum ozone and transport to provide field managers with appropriate lead time and guidance to initiate an intensive operation period (IOP). The program utilized forecasters from all of Southern California`s air quality agencies, the California Air Resources Board and the US Department of the Navy to develop a consensus regional ozone prediction. The results of the forecast operation netted five multiple-day episodes where intensive monitoring was conducted. This data base will serve as the basis for regional photochemical modeling of meteorological episodes for future air quality management plans.
