Abstract
The city of Santiago frequently experiences episodes of high air pollutant concentrations, particularly during the winter months. These episodes are a consequence of the unique geographic setting of the Santiago region and emissions of large quantities of pollutants emitted by various surface sources such as diesel buses, automobiles, and wood burning, and point sources such as power plants and smelters. Concern about present and future air quality in the Santiago metropolitan region has motivated the Intendencia of the city of Santiago to sponsor the development of a state-of-the-science Air Quality Modeling System.
