| Abstract |
This report provides detailed comparisons and sensitivity analyses of three candidate models, MESOPLUME, MESOPUFF, and MESOGRID. This was not a validation study; there was no suitable regional air quality data base for the Four Corners area. Rather, the models have been evaluated by analyzing: model response to varying mesoscale flow regimes, model sensitivity to systematic variations in meteorological and model design parameters; and model accuracy versus computational requirements and costs. |
