Application of the urban airshed model for carbon monoxide (CO) in Phoenix, Arizona
- Systems Applications, Inc. San Rafael, CA (US)
This paper presents an overview of an application of the urban airshed model (UAM) to the study of carbon monoxide (CO) in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The UAM is the EPA-approved and preferred grid model for urban ozone applications, and has recently been applied to the study of CO in urban areas such as Denver. The Phoenix metropolitan area is currently designated nonattainment for the CO national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). A data collection study was conducted in the winter of 1985-1986 to provide data for simulation a wintertime CO event with microscale and urban-scale air quality models. The modeling was used to forecast various CO emission control scenarios available to regulators for air quality planning purposes. The application summarized in the paper involved the following: modeling domain selection, input data preparation, model performance evaluation, and application to evaluation of future-year control strategies.
