During the summer, ozone concentrations measured in central California frequently exceed both the Federal and California state ambient air quality standards. It is believed that this ozone problem results from a combination of local emissions, and transport of ozone and its precursors in the region due to the unique meteorological conditions of the area. To study this problem and to evaluate potential emission control strategies, a comprehensive field study was conducted in central California during the summer of 1990, followed by modeling studies. Part 1 of this paper describes the field study, the SARMAP modeling system, and basic model performance for an August 3--6, 1990, ozone episode in the study region. As part of the testing and evaluation of the SARMAP Air Quality Model (SAQM), a number of sensitivity and diagnostic simulations were carried out. These tests were conducted to test the responsiveness of the air quality model to changes in emissions, deposition, and boundary and initial conditions. This paper presents the results of comparisons between the base case and sensitivity/diagnostic simulations.
