Central California Coastal Air Quality Model Validation Study: Data Analysis and Model Evaluation

摘要

The objectives of the study were: to obtain a comprehensive experimental data base of overwater and inland dispersion along the central California coast; to evaluate air quality models presently being used by MMS for determining air quality impacts from offshore emission sources; to evaluate various schemes for determining atmospheric stability and methods of determining atmospheric stability and methods of determining dispersion parameters (sigma-y and sigma-z) overwater; and to provide data needed for an overwater dispersion model presently under development by MMS.
