Abstract
The development of a photochemical model capable of simulating regional transport of ozone and its precursors is the focus of an extensive program now in progress at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This model, the Regional Oxidant Model (ROM) is designed for use in evaluating the effectiveness of various control strategies needed to provide for attainment of the ozone NAAQS. The model will be evaluated for the Northeast U.S. where various studies have demonstrated the occurrence of widespread episodes of high ozone concentrations. The purposes of this paper are to highlight the types of issues that could be addressed using the Regional Oxidant Model and to describe the structure of this model.
