This is done to assist the States of Missouri and Illinois in their development of realistic emissions reduction strategies for inclusion in the St. Louis ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP) due by June 2007. The St. Louis modeling study included episodic emissions, meteorological, and ozone simulations using a nested 36/12/4 km grid covering the central U.S. and centered on St. Louis. The modeling effort used SMOKE and supplemental EMS emissions, MM5 meteorological, and the CAMx and CMAQ air quality modeling systems for estimating ozone on the nested 36/12/4 km St. Louis grid during three 8-hour ozone episodes from the summer of 2002. | | | Date Created: | 04 04 2007 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042603 Original UID: 22124 FIRST WORD: St. | |
