The Evaluation and Assessment of UNAMAP is a study to determine how best to Improve the usefulness and availability of the UNAMAP air pollution dispersion models. The study consists of a technology assessment, data collection and analysis, and specific improvements contained in an implementation plan. The analysis indicates that improvements to UNAMAP are needed in the areas of. (1) model accuracy, (2) model documentation, (3) user support, (4) data collection, (5) data input, and (6) computer compatibility. The study includes the development of an improvement plan which Is based on a strategy that is consistent with the long-term objectives for UNAMAP. This strategic framework guides the implementation of improvements and strikes a balance between the goals of advancing dispersion modeling research and transferring technology to the public. Included In the plan is a set of ten specific recommended improvements. |
