| Abstract |
The use of three different approaches for evaluating the Empirical Kinetic Modeling Approach (EKMA) are described. The first two approaches consist of using the model underlying EKMA to make predictions of peak ozone for comparison with observations. In one base, the detailed St. Louis RAPS data base was used to develop model inputs. In the second, a much more simplified data base was used as the basis for model inputs. In general, the simplified approach produced better results. The final approach consisted of comparing EKMA predictions of changes in ozone with those of a more complex photochemical air quality simulation model. EKMA did not agree with the complex model over the entire range of evaluation. However, when estimating the degree of control necessary to lower peak ozone to the level of the standard, differences between EKMA and the complex model and EKMA were usually less than 10%. |
