MAP3S programs applicable to PEPE's. [PEPE = Persistent Elevated Pollution Episode; MAP3S = Multi-State Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study]
The MAP3S goal is to improve the capability to simulate the behavior of energy related pollutants in the atmosphere. This requires improving the understanding of atmospheric behavior and of the processes affecting pollutant evolution in the atmosphere. MAP3S has conducted a wide variety of field experiments and characterization studies to improve understanding of wet and dry deposition, pollutant transformation, planetary boundary layer evolution, aerosol speciation, long range pollutant transport, precipitation chemistry, and pollutant budgets. While MAP3S will be continuing in FY-1980 to focus on its own program objectives, the objectives of PEPE (Persistent Elevated Pollution Episode) are sufficiently related to those of MAP3S to permit consideration that some MAP3S resources could be diverted to PEPE studies during limited intensive periods in the summer of 1980. Resources and capabilities that may be available include: network support; field capabilities; and modeling and analysis capabilities. Because of uncertainty in the planning of MAP3S activities for 1980 and beyond, resources in addition to those now available to MAP3S participants may be required. (ERB)
