Abstract

Current air quality regulatory models are summarized in Turner et al. (1989). Unfortunately, these models have been applied more to conserve legal consistency over time than to accurately represent atmospheric flow, particularly in complex terrain and coastal zones [see discussions in Moran et al. (1986) and Lyons et al. (1983)]. These regulatory models are also not generally validated on a case-by-case basis but rather by using rank-order correlations (e.g., Fox, 1981).
