MODELING OZONE CONTROL STRATEGIES IN LOS ANGELES

The Systems Applications Airshed Model - a grid-based, time-dependent photochemical simulation model - has been applied to the region in recent air management studies. After initial model verification analysis using field measurements obtained during an historical smog episode in southern California, the model was used to evaluate the impacts on future ozone levels of alternative emission controls for principal oxone precursors. Modeling results exemplify the highly nonlinear characteristics of hydrocarbon nitrogen oxides/ozone cycles in the atmosphere and the inherent difficulties in ameliorating the Los Angeles smog problem within federally mandated timetables.
