| | Overview
 | This is the web page for the atmospheric modeling
component
of an integrated
assessment study conducted by the Southern Appalachian Mountains Initiative
(SAMI).
|
| The major air quality concerns of SAMI are ozone,
particulate matter (for visibility) and acid deposition in Class I areas of
the Southern Appalachians.
|
| Our modeling system consists of
 |
Emission
Modeling System (EMS-95) for emissions
|
|
Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) for
meteorology
|
|
Urban-to-Regional Multiscale (URM) model for transport and
chemistry.
|
|
| We performed air quality simulations using the
meteorology of 9 episodes, each about 10 days long, that
characterize a typical year (or season) between 1991 and 1995.
|
| The results for the base and future year (2010 and
2040) simulations as well as an emission impact study are available on this
web.
|
| Documentation of the project is finished and most
documents can be found here.
