Abstract: A clustering algorithm is developed to study hourly, ground-level wind measurements obtained from a network of monitoring stations positioned throughout the San Francisco Bay Area of California. A statistical model based ...

Abstract: egional air pollution episodes occur as a result of increased emissions and prevalence of conducive meteorological conditions. The frequency of occurrence of such favorable conditions on a regional scale may be influenced ...

Abstract: Synoptic conditions are known to strongly influence mesoscale flows and hence local ozone levels in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Sets of individual days sharing certain combinations of synoptic features ...

Abstract: A novel pattern-based model evaluation technique is proposed and demonstrated for air quality models (AQMs) driven by meteorological model (MM) output. The evaluation technique is applied directly to the MM output; however, ...
