Abstract
An objective methodology presented in a companion paper (Liu et al., 1986) for determining the optimum number and disposition of ambient air quality stations in a monitoring network for carbon monoxide is applied to the Las Vegas, Nevada, area. The methodology utilizes an air quality simulation model to produce temporally-varying air quality patterns for each of a limited number of meteorological scenarios representative of the region of interest. These air quality patterns in turn serve as the data base in a two-step procedure for the identification and ranking of the most desirable monitoring locations (step 1) and the removal of redundancies in spatial coverage among the desired locations (step 2).
