Abstract |
The background and purpose of the Regional Air Pollution Study are outlined, together with the overall study design. To meet the objective of development and testing of improved air quality simulation models, an extensive and continuous set of pollutant and meteorological measurements, an emission inventory of high spatial and temporal resolution, and experiments to describe and quantify atmospheric dispersion, transformation, and removal processes were required. The required measurements and investigation carried out during the conduct of the study are summarized. |
