| Abstract |
Procedures have been developed for evaluating chemical kinetics mechanisms that are candidates for use in urban and regional air quality simulation models. To accomplish the goal, a task force of experimentalists and modelers was assembled to address issues related to developing protocols for evaluating mechanisms against smog chamber data. The efforts of the task force were scrutinized in two workshops attended by national and international experts on smog chamber experimentation and model development. Based on the work undertaken by the task force and the input received from the committee of experts, a protocol was formulated that involves testing mechanisms against a standard data base of smog chamber experiments. The protocol describes the types and number of chamber experiments that should be used in the evaluation and how the evaluation should be conducted. |
