Regional ozone modeling in the northeastern US: selection of meteorological episodes. Report for March-October 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6284140
In 1987 a study was initiated of the photochemical smog problem along the Northeast U.S. Corridor. The study (Regional Ozone Modeling for Northeast Transport (ROMNET)), has three major components: (1) to identify emission control strategies; (2) to assemble emission inventories suitable for regional ozone modeling; and (3) to model the control strategies with appropriate meteorological and emissions data. One important prerequisite for the third component is to select 3 meteorological episodes that reflect typical transport patterns associated with high ozone levels. These flow regimes were along-corridor flow, recirculation, and westerly flow into the corridor.
