Rocky Mountain acid deposition model assessment: review of existing mesoscale models for use in complex terrain

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6334439
Existing mesoscale meteorological and acid-deposition models are surveyed, reviewed, and evaluated for potential application of a complex-terrain region within the Rocky Mountain region. The purpose of the review is to choose meteorological and acid-deposition modules that might be included in a mesoscale acid-deposition model for the Rocky Mountain region. This acid-deposition model would then be used by the western regulatory agencies to estimate the amounts of acidic deposition from proposed new sources at PSD class 1 and acid-sensitive areas.
