Hourly meteorological data for ten years for four cities in Florida were obtained. The CALINE3 model was used to obtain hourly CO concentrations, which were combined to derive MPF's for each city. Similarly, VPF's were derived from hourly vehicle counts from one busy roadway in each city. The mean VPF multiplied by the second highest MPF was defined as the worst-case total persistence factor (TPF). These worst-case TPF's increased significantly as more hours of nighttime were included in the 8-hour averaging time, but were fairly consistent from city to city. Results and conclusions are presented in this book.
