The development and verification of a regional air quality model for the San Francisco Bay Area for use as an operational tool by the local air pollution control agency, the Bay Area Air Pollution Control District (BAAPCD), has been completed during a 2-/sup 1///sub 2/ yr, three-agency project supported by the National Science Foundation. With source emission and meteorological information gathered by the BAAPCD and aircraft measurements taken by the NASA Ames Research Center, results from the Livermore Regional Air Quality (LIRAQ) model developed by the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory have compared satisfactorily with observations of carbon monoxide and photochemical pollutants. The LIRAQ model can now be accessed easily by teletype and simulation runs set up on the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory computer system. With the completion of the project, the LIRAQ model is now ready for use by the BAAPCD in its studies of air quality, land use, and control strategy assessment. Volume 1 of the final report presents a comprehensive overview of the project and its accomplishments. Volume 2 contains the technical appendixes. A separate User's Guide has been prepared.
