URBAN AIRSHED MODEL (UAM)
Description:
The Urban Airshed Model (UAM) is an urban scale, three-dimensional, grid type, numerical simulation model. The model incorporates a condensed photochemical kinetics mechanism for urban atmospheres. The UAM is designed for computing ozone (O3) concentrations under short-term, episodic conditions lasting one or two days resulting from emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The model treats urban VOC emissions as their carbon-bond surrogates. UAM is appropriate for the following applications: single urban areas having significant ozone attainment problems in the absence of interurban emission transport; and one hour averaging times.
