Journal ArticleDOI
Testing a comprehensive acid deposition model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and evaluation of a comprehensive acid deposition model referred to as ADOM (Acid Deposition and Oxidant Model) and present the evaluation of the model against observations collected during the OSCAR field study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robin L. Dennis,Tyler Fox,Montse Fuentes,Alice B. Gilliland,Steven R. Hanna,Christian Hogrefe,John J. Irwin,S. Trivikrama Rao,Richard Scheffe,Kenneth L. Schere,Douw G. Steyn,Akula Venkatram +11 more
TL;DR: A framework for model evaluation is introduced here for determining the suitability of a modeling system for a given application, distinguishing the performance between different models through confidence-testing of model results, guiding model development and analyzing the impacts of regulatory policy options.
Journal ArticleDOI
RLINE: A line source dispersion model for near-surface releases
TL;DR: Venkatram et al. as mentioned in this paper used an efficient numerical integration scheme to integrate the contributions of point sources used to represent a line-source, and the near-surface dispersion algorithms are based on new formulations of horizontal and vertical dispersion within the atmospheric surface layer.
