When Equation 29 is applied to the particular receptor UR>np), numer-
ical integration techniques require that the integrand be known for
certain values of the integration variables x and y, which are wind-
oriented coordinates. This requires that q(x,y,h.) be known for
specified (x,y). Since q will be recorded in terms of the fixed
coordinates U,n) the following transformations are required to
determine the £,n coordinates which correspond to selected (x,y)
values.

3.1 NUMERICAL EVALUATION OF CONCENTRATIONS FROM AREA SOURCES
Numerical integration processes required to evaluate Equa-
tion 29 affect both the accuracy achieved and the cost expended in
computation time. Therefore, the following three approaches in
decreasing order of computational detail were considered for eval-
uating the double integral in Equation 29.
• Numerical evaluation of the double integral
• Use of the "virtual" point source concept
-------
• Use of the "narrow plume" assumption to reduce the
double integral to a single integral.
The first approach is a straightforward evaluation of the
double integral by numerical techniques. One method of doing this is to
divide the area source into small subdivisions A£ by An. If the inte-
grand (I--I.) in Equation 29 is evaluated at the center of each sub-
division (i.e.> fixed-axis oriented coordinates 5. ,n .)» the double
' J
integral may be approximated by a double summation.

This is mathematically equivalent to replacing each subdivision of the
area source by a point source with emission rate qU.,n..,h.) AC An
at each emission height h.. In an application of this approach,
Fortak (1970) found that a suitable size for the subdivisions which
would give a satisfactory approximation to the integral for a wide
range of wind speeds and stability categories was 50 meters by 50 meters.
In this study, the double integration has been carried out by repeated
application of the trapezoid rule.
In the second approach to numerical integration, the initial
vertical and horizontal distributions of concentration from pollutants
emitted within a subdivision of the area source are approximated by a
bivariate normal function. The double integration in Equation 29 is
replaced by a summation of double integrals over each subdivision.
Let a be the standard deviation of the initial horizontal distribu-
tion of concentration in a subdivision and a be the standard deviation
-------
of the initial vertical distribution of concentration in a subdivision.
In terms of the diffusion parameter functions, a (x) and a (x) (e.g.,
see Figures 5 and 6), there is a downwind travel distance x which
\r
corresponds to a and a distance x which corresponds to o . This
means that a point source located a distance x upwind of the center of
the subdivision will produce the approximate horizontal crosswind distri
bution of initial concentrations from emissions within the subdivision
area . A point source located a distance x upwind will produce the
approximate vertical distribution. These "virtual" distances are used
in the point source diffusion Equation 9 to define subsequent changes in
the initial distribution of concentration. It is only necessary to
replace cr (x) and GZ(X) by a (x + x ) and az(x + x ) and ta let Q be the
total emission rate from the subdivision of the area source. Using
this concept, the double integration over a subdivision of the area
source is approximated by a "virtual point source," and the double
integral of Equation 29 is replaced by the summation of the concentra-
tions from all subdivisons.

This approach has an advantage over the first approach in
that larger subdivisions of the area source may be used to approximate
the integral. Examples of the use of this approach include Croke and
Roberts (1971) and Milford, et al. (1970). If the source emissions are
known in detail, the parameters a and a may be estimated by stan-
dard statistical techniques. Where detailed information is not avail-
able, it is necessary to judiciously approximate the parameters.
In the third approach, following a development proposed by
Calder (1969), the assumption is made that spatial distances between
variations in the area-source emission rate are large compared to the
horizontal diffusion parameter a . The quantity q(x,y,h.) is constant
over the range of y for which the integrand in Equation 29 is signifi-
cantly greater than zero. The integration limits with respect to y
may be extended to infinity since q(x,y,h.) is zero outside the area
source. Let
q(x,y,h.)

-------
Equation 29 may be written as follows
\/2~ I (*1 q'(x'

Under the narrow plume assumption, we approximate q'(x,h.) by q(x,o,h.)-
This approach represents the greatest potential saving in computational
effort if it can be shown to yield results sufficiently close to the
double integration of the first approach.
Detailed specifications for the computational procedures used
f
to implement the first and third approaches are listed in Appendix D.
These methods were compared using model inputs generated from 10 hours
of St. Louis Data, consisting of every 6th hour during a 60-hour period
from December 1 to 4, 1964. The same set of input values was
used for each method. Figure 8, a comparison of the concentrations
predicted at 40 points by each method for one selected hour, shows the
two sets of predicted concentrations tightly clustered about the equality
line. The comparisons for the other hours give similar results.
Using the narrow plume approach, the computation time required
on an IBM 360/65 system to compute concentrations at 10 receptor loca-
tions for 1 hour (i.e., one steady-state period with a 30 km by 40 km
area source and 51 point sources) is about 1 second or 0.1 second per
receptor. Using repeated application of the trapezoid rule to evaluate
the double integral, the computation time is about three times as long.
A large portion of the calculations required in these two methods con-
sists of evaluating exponential factors which are saved and used repeti-
tively in computing the terms which must be summed in the two methods.

The time for computing the exponential factors is about doubled in the
first approach compared to the third approach. The first approach
requires about six times more time to perform the remaining computa-
tions involving multiplication and summation, and approximately a
67 percent reduction in computation costs is achieved by usinq the
third approach.
As a result of the adequacy comparisons described above
between the first and third approaches, and the demonstrated economy
in computer time, all computations of validity and sensitivity
described in subsequent sections were conducted using the third
approach, involving the "narrow plume" assumption.
3.2 COMPUTER MODEL
Having defined the mathematical structure of the diffusion
model and having determined how to efficiently handle the numerical
integration for area sources, it is appropriate to describe the formal
organization of inputs, outputs, and data processing which has been
adopted for the computer program. The relationship of the diffusion
model calculations to the general data processing requirements of this
study is illustrated in Figure 9. This diagram shows that there are
two basic analytic frameworks in which the model is to be used: one
is concerned with validation, and the other with sensitivity.
The model inputs which are required for each steady-state
period are shown in Table 7. These input values may be determined by

a number of computationally trivial preprocessing calculations which
enable one to derive a set of values representative of a one-hour steady-
state period. The preprocessing procedures which were selected for the
validation analysis are discussed in the next section. The objective
was to develop a procedure for defining model inputs which are as
representative as possible of hour-to-hour variations in the character-
istics of the urban environment. In all cases of input definition,
determination of the best procedure to be used was made as objectively
as possible on physical grounds, without regard to whether the determi-
nation would improve or worsen the validation results. It is empha-
sized that in no case was any empirical fitting, adjustment, or
"calibration" employed. Any application of the model requires that a
preprocessing program be used to convert the type and forms of available
data to the inputs required by the model.
Table 7 shows that the output request consists of the number
of locations for which concentrations are to be computed and their
coordinates. The diffusion parameter option indicates which of three
sets of diffusion parameter functions, which specifies a and a as a
function of distance from the source, will be used. The options include
the three sets discussed in Section 2.4.4, namely, the Pasquill para-
meters, the McElroy-Pooler parameters based on bulk Richardson number
and a., and the McElroy-Pooler parameters based on the Turner stability
o
criteria.
The area source emission data which are input to the model
include the three emission rate array dimensions (I, J and K), the
-------
grid square dimension, the effective source heights, and the array
of emission rates. The point source emission data include the number
of point sources and, for each source, its coordinates, its effective
height (the sum of its physical height and the plume rise), and its
emission rate.
The meteorological data input to the model include the wind
speed profile parameters (reference wind speed, reference height and
power law exponent), the wind direction, the stability index value which
determines which power functions to use in the selected system of
diffusion parameters, and the mixing ceiling height.
The final input is the pollutant half-life (t^) due to
atmospheric removal processes.
Listings of the computer programs (one for numerical integra-
tion of the double integral and one for the narrow plume approach) are
given in Appendix D. It should be noted that these programs are
not operational entities which can be efficiently utilized outside
the scope of this study, because these programs have been designed
to interface with specific input and output requirements for this study.
However, the programs are highly modular in structure and contain many
FORTRAN coded subroutines directly applicable to any use of the Gaussian
plume type of urban diffusion model. These subroutines can be evolved
into more operational programs: New programs could be specifically
designed from an input-output point of view to support air quality
management requirements such as evaluation of implementation plans,
support of land use studies, and direct aid in deciding when to
implement control measures.

VALIDATION ANALYSIS
The objective of the validation study was to evaluate criti-
cally the predictive accuracy of the urban diffusion model based on
the Gaussian plume concept. The results tend to emphasize the general
capabilities and limitations inherent in the use of the basic steady-
state plume equation to simulate urban SOp concentrations in detail.
The validation study has been based on a comparison between model pre-
dictions and urban air quality measurements of the stable pollutant SOp.
Validation data were obtained from two urban areas (St. Louis and Chicago)
for which reasonably detailed emission inventory and meteorological obser-
vations were available. These two sites were selected because the avail-
able data were known to be reasonably free of errors and well organized.
The St. Louis data included a three-month data collection which was part
of the U.S. Public Health Service's air quality study in that area. The
Chicago data consisted of a one-month set of data collected by Argonne
National Laboratory. Additional Chicago data for a one-year period were
reviewed but not used because of irregularities in the data and large
blocks of missing data. These data collections include sufficient air
quality sampling locations (10 in St. Louis and 8 in Chicago) and the
most detailed source inventory information known to be available (sources
summarized by square mile areas with the 50 or so largest sources iden-
tified in greater detail).
The validation analysis involves study of both short-term
concentrations for 1 or 2 hours and long-term concentrations for 1 month
-------
and 3 months; these have been evaluated separately for each location
(Sections 4.2 and 4.3). The analysis was carried out for individual
observing stations, eight in Chicago, and 10 in St. Louis, for which
short-term (1 or 2 hour) average concentrations were observed. Stan-
dard statistics have been generated regarding predicted and observed
values including mean error, standard deviations (or root-mean-square
errors), and empirical frequency distribution of errors for each observ-
ing station. The same statistics have been generated for the combined
set of all values for a given city. Statistics have also been generated
to compare predicted and observed long-term mean concentrations. The
evaluation is based on the ability of the model to predict values from
observed best estimates of the model inputs.
The validation is based on the use of the "narrow plume"
assumption to compute concentrations from area sources (Equation 37)
and the McElroy-Pooler diffusion parameters based on Turner's defini-
tions of stability categories to represent a and o .
4.1 VALIDATION DATA AND PREPROCESSING TREATMENT
Special data processing procedures were used in the valida-
tion study to determine hourly values of model inputs from available
data for each location. Conceptually, the processing follows the scheme
illustrated by Figure 10. The raw data file consists of meteorological
data, air quality data, and emission data. The meteorological data and
air quality data are time-oriented. Information is available for each
hour of the validation period. The emission data are source-oriented.
Information is available for each point source and each square mile

of the city area. The emission data is used in conjunction with meteoro-
logical data and time considerations (e.g., hour of the day, day of the
week, and month of the year) to estimate hourly emission rates. The
preprocessing program consists of a set of algorithms for deriving hourly
model input values from the raw data files. The logic of the model pro-
gram as it operates in the context of the validation analysis is illus-
trated in Figure 11. The output file created by the model program is
analyzed by statistical routines to obtain the validation results.
The model inputs required for each steady-state period are
listed in Table 7 in Section 3.2. The algorithms are discussed briefly
below. A complete description of the emission, meteorological, and air
quality data and the algorithms used to compute emission rates is given
in Appendices B and C for St. Louis and Chicago, respectively. The
objective has been to develop a procedure for defining model inputs
which are as representative as possible of hour-to-hour variations in
the characteristics of the urban environment. In all cases of input
definition, determination of the best procedure to be used was made as
objectively as possible on physical grounds, without regard to whether
the determination would improve or worsen the validation results; in
no case was any empirical fitting, adjustment, or "calibration" employed.
Applications of the model to new data sources may require that a new
preprocessing program be developed which will convert the type and
forms of available data to the inputs required by the model.
Emission rates for point sources were estimated by one or
more of three procedures'. For most large utility plants, emissions
were estimated on the basis of engineering information which related

flue gas characteristics to generating-unit output loads. The param-
eters of the linear relationship between fuel consumption and generator
output for St. Louis data are given in Appendix B. The parameters
for the Chicago data were developed by Argonne National Laboratory
(Roberts, et al., 1970) with advice from Commonwealth Edison Company
and used in this study by permission of the Commonwealth Edison Company.
The S02 emission rate for each generator is
Q = .02S(A1 + A2L) (38)
where
Q = SOp emission rate
S = sulfur content of fuel
L = hourly generator output load
A-, ,A2 = parameters of the relationship between fuel
consumption and power generated.
The emissions from each generator are allocated to one or more stacks
as appropriate (e.g., see Appendices B and C). For industrial plants,
emissions due to process requirements and space heating were estimated
separately. For St. Louis, the space heating requirements were related
to the outside air temperature following a procedure developed by
Turner (1968a). For Chicago, it was a direct correlation with outside
air temperature (see Appendix C). Process emissions were related to
hourly and weekly operating hours and, for Chicago, to monthly operat-
ing requirements.
For the St. Louis data, plume rise estimates were obtained
from plume rise times wind-speed products, furnished by EPA for each
point source, by dividing this estimate by the wind speed at the
-------
physical stack height. The EPA estimates were originally calculated
from stack data using Holland's (1953) formula, which is
u-Ah = Vsd fl.5 + 0.00268p(-§T-§-)d] (39)
where

The values obtained were taken as representative of the entire three-
month period. For the Chicago data, plume rise estimates were obtained
using Briggs' formulas (1969)(see Section 2.3.2 of this report). Heat
emission estimates were obtained by assuming that 15 percent of the
heat content of consumed fuel is contained in the flue gases.
Area source emissions are represented by a three-dimensional
matrix of emission rates. The dimensions of the matrix correspond to
three effective source heights and the two dimensions of a horizontal
grid work of square mile blocks. The available emission inventory data
for each square mile include emissions associated with space heating
which are taken to be proportional to the temperature deficit from 65°F
in accordance with Turner's (1968a) technique, and emissions (for
St. Louis) associated with commercial and industrial sources which are
-------
time-of-day oriented. The specific algorithms used to make hourly area
source emission rate estimates are given in Appendices B and C for
St. Louis and Chicago, respectively.
The model requires a single steady-state wind direction and
wind speed profile for each one-hour period. A vector mean average of
the observations from several locations was used as the mean wind direc-
tion and speed. For St. Louis, wind observations at three levels on a
425-foot tower were used to empirically determine the wind profile power
law. When vertical profiles were not observed, a power law of 0.1, 0.15,
0.2, 0.25 or 0.3 was assigned corresponding to the calculated diffusion
stability class (A to E, as defined in Tables 2 and 3). Since vertical
wind profiles were not available for the Chicago analyses, the profile
power law was estimated from the stability class. A value of 0.1 was
assigned for classes A and B, 0.15 for class C, 0.2 for class D and 0.3
for class E. The change from the St. Louis values was used to account
for the increased surface roughness around the Chicago area. Although the
validation study is based on the use of wind speeds and directions
determined as the vector average of several observations, there is
close agreement between these winds and the nearest airport winds.
It is assumed that the validation findings would not be significantly
changed by the use of a single airport wind observation. However,
for light wind situations with.wind speeds less than 5 mph, differences
are more frequent. The validity of the model using a single airport
-------
wind might be decreased from the results shown in this study at loca-
tions where light winds occur frequently.
The mixing layer ceiling was estimated by interpolating
between mixing layer heights indicated by radiosonde observations made
within 100 to 200 miles of each city. For St. Louis, the mixing layer
height was the average of daily estimates furnished by Environmental
Protection Agency for Columbia, Missouri, and Peoria, Illinois. Values
for times between the early morning minimum and the afternoon maximum
(see Figure 7) were obtained by linear interpolation. The afternoon
maximum was retained until midnight, after which the early morning value
of the following day was assumed. For Chicago, hourly estimates were
obtained from Argonne. These ceilings were constructed (Roberts, et al . ,
1970) by interpolating between the Green Bay, Wisconsin and Peoria,
Illinois morning and afternoon radiosondes to define hourly vertical
temperature profiles. The mixing ceiling for each hour is defined by
the height of the intersection of a dry adiabatic projection from the
urban surface temperature with the interpolated temperature profile.
An urban diffusion stability index was computed using airport
weather observations according to the rules outlined by Turner (1964)
(see Tables 2 and 3 of this report). For St. Louis the airport weather
observations were taken at Lambert Field. For Chicago the airport
weather observations were taken at Midway Airport.
4.2 RESULTS OF SHORT-TERM (ONE- AND TWO-HOUR) VALIDATION CALCULATIONS
Validation results were calculated with the "narrow plume"
version of the multiple-source steady-state Gaussian plume model using
-------
hourly values of all parameters, including emission rates. In this
model, the largest sources are treated as point sources. All other
sources are treated as an area source with emissions at one or more of
three effective source heights. The method of calculation is described
in Section 3.1 and Appendix D. The -initial data and preprocessing treat-
ment used to produce model inputs are described in Section 4.1 and Appen-
dices B and C.
4.2.1 Comparisons with St. Louis Data
The St. Louis comparisons cover the three months from 1400
December 1, 1964, to 1400 February 28, 1965. The sampling operation
by which the observed St. Louis values were obtained was described by
Turner and Edmisten (1968 ). Hourly calculations were made for 10
sampler locations (shown in Figure 12). The location of the airport
weather observing station (Lambert Field), the TV tower for vertical
wind profile observations, and the three continuous wind measuring
stations are also shown in Figure 12.
Figures 13 through 16 are selected examples showing model
performance on a two-hour basis. At each station two, one-hour predic-
tions are averaged and compared with the corresponding two-hour SOp
observations:
Figure 13 is a typical example of combined over- and
underprediction which may be found side-by-side during
a single two-hour period. The upper number is the

t Figure 14 illustrates over-prediction. This case
is an example of a Turner stability class E situation.
It may be noted in passing that the model is very
sensitive to changes in stability class. A change
from class D to class E results in the prediction
increasing by a factor of 2 to 5. This subject is
treated at greater length in Section 5.4.
• Figure 15 illustrates underprediction. It was noted
that underprediction generally occurred with a south
wind and with unseasonably warm temperatures. There
may be an error in the emission algorithms under
these circumstances, in that the operation of furnaces
for space heating may not follow the temperature
relationship indicated by the emission algorithm.
For example, furnaces in commercial and apartment
buildings may be improperly adjusted for the unseasonably
warm temperatures.
• Figure 16 illustrates generally good correlation between
predicted and observed values at most stations.
Comparisons of two-hour concentrations were made for all ten
stations for the three-month period in the St. Louis data set. A statis-
tical summary of the validation results obtained by comparing model pre-
dictions with observations is shown in Table 8 and Figures 17 through
22 for these stations. For each station individually, and for all sta-
tions combined, a mean value and standard deviation were obtained for
observed, predicted, and observed minus predicted values.
In general the mean observed and predicted values for indi-
vidual stations, shown in Table 8, are in good agreement. However,
this agreement is more indicative of the model's ability to predict
long-term rather than short-term concentrations. The overall frequency

distributions of predicted two-hour concentrations for the 89-day period
at individual stations is in good agreement with the overall distribu-
tions of observed two-hour concentrations. This may be seen in Figures 18
through 22. However, the agreement between predicted and observed values
for any single two-hour period is not nearly as good as the overall agree-
ment might suggest. The magnitude of individual differences is shown by
the standard deviations and mean absolute differences of observed minus
predicted values in Table 8. This error with regard to individual two-
hour time periods is also evident in the shallow slopes and high inter-
cept values obtained for the regression coefficients of observed on
predicted values. A more detailed accounting of the error distribution
of observed minus predicted values is shown for each individual station
in Figures 18 through 22. These curves are labeled as "over-" and
"underpredicted" in each graph. To make all differences positive for
presentation on logarithmic scale, overpredictions are shown as pre-
dicted minus observed values.
The frequency distribution of the combined set of all predicted
two-hour concentrations is shown in Figure 17 to correspond very closely
with the observed frequency distribution. The observed and predicted
3
means of all stations combined are 154 and 151 yg/m , respectively. The
standard deviations are 159 and 179 yg/m , respectively, as shown in
Table 8. In Figure 17, the fact that the curves for overpredictions
and underpredictions are approximately symmetrical and meet a little
below the 50 percent line (about 40-45 percent) indicates that there
is no particular tendency to over- or underpredict. The figure also
-------
indicates that 50 percent of the observed values lie within +_ 60 yg/m
of the predicted values. This is in relation to a mean predicted value
o
of 151 yg/m . About 65 percent of the observed values lie within
+_ 100 yg/m of the predicted value. The majority of the differences
between predicted and observed values are noticeably smaller than the
overall mean values. These predictions are not adjusted or scaled to
the observed values. The individual station curves reflect the variety
of results which contribute to this finding.
4.2.2 Comparisons with Chicago Data
Observed and calculated short-term (one-hour) concentrations
were obtained for eight TAM (Telemetered Air Monitoring) stations in the
Chicago area based on data collected for the period 0000 January 1, 1967
to 2300 January 31, 1967. These locations are shown in Figure 23.
The Chicago monitoring equipment automatically records five-
minute average S02 concentrations. At 15-minute intervals the average
concentration for the preceding 15-minute period is telemetered to a
central location where it is recorded on tape. The original data tapes
have been edited by Argonne National Laboratory to obtain hourly averages,
by averaging five sequential 15-minute observations. The middle of the
third 15-minute period of each hour was centered on the hour. A
description of the Chicao TAM network was reported by Booras and
Zimmer (1968). The S02 monitoring was done with continuous conductivity
analyzers. In these instruments, air is continuously admitted to an

absorber where SCk in the airstream is removed by a continuously flow-
ing liquid absorbent. The electrical conductivity of the resulting
solution is continuously measured and recorded. The readings are
directly proportional to S02 concentrations. An integrated five-minute
average is obtained automatically.
A statistical summary of the results of comparisons of the
model predictions with the one-hour Chicago observations is given in
Table 9, and in Figures 24-28 (similar to the St. Louis summary in
Section 4.2.1).
As shown in Table 9, the predicted concentrations were on the
average higher than the observed concentrations at six of the eight sta-
tions. In addition, the standard deviations of predicted values at each
station were larger than the standard deviations of observed values by
a factor varying between 2 and 3. The frequency distributions of
observed and predicted values, and the over- and underpredictions of
the observed minus predicted concentrations for individual stations
are shown in Figures 25 through 28. The frequency distributions of
predicted and observed values for stations 4, 5, 6, and 7 in Figures 26,
27, and 28 show that for these stations high concentrations are predicted
more frequently than they are observed and low concentrations are observed
more frequently than they are predicted. In Figure 28 the predominant
difference between predicted and observed frequency distributions for
station 8 is the high frequency of predicted low concentrations compared

to the observed frequency. Close correspondence between the predicted
and observed frequency distributions is shown for stations 1, 2, and 3
in Figures 25 and 26. However, for all 8 stations the slopes of the
curves for the two frequency distributions are similar. The frequency
distributions of observed minus predicted values shown for each station
in Figures 25 to 28 give a detailed breakdown of the wide variations
which occur for single hour comparisons between predicted and observed
values.
The predicted and observed mean concentrations for all 8 sta-
3
tions over the 31-day period are shown in Table 9 to be 145 and 96 yg/m ,
respectively. The standard deviations of hourly values were 232 and
3
117 yg/m , respectively. Figure 24 reflects the general tendency to
overpredict for these data. The smoothed extrapolation of observed
values shown in Figure 24 was constructed to attempt to account for
threshold and sensitivity limitations of the monitoring equipment.
However, the validation statistics in this analysis are based on the
reported observations and do not reflect possible observation errors
due to instrument limitations. Approximately 50 percent of all the
predicted values were within 45 yg/m of the observed values. This
3
is in comparison with a mean value of 96 yg/m and a median value of
3
50 yg/m . Approximately 73 percent of the predicted values were

within 100 yg/m of the observed values.

4.2.3 Very Light Hind Speed Situations and Model Validity with
Variations in Hind Speed
It may be noted in Equations 28 and 29 that concentrations
predicted by the Gaussian plume urban diffusion model are undefined
for a wind speed of zero. An exception may occur if, as suggested by
Roberts, et al., (1970), the diffusion parameters are treated as func-
tions of time rather than distance.* Vectorially averaged wind speeds
at a height of 20 meters were never less than 1.5 m/sec in the St. Louis
data set. However, in the Chicago data set, several instances of nearly
zero wind occurred, resulting in very large concentration predictions.
As a result, it was decided to separate from the validation analysis all
periods in which the wind speed was less than 1.0 m/sec and analyze them
separately.
* If the diffusion parameters av and az are treated as power functions of time, the substitution of
distance divided by wind speed (x/u) for time will, for certain powers, result in an expression for
concentration which approaches zero as wind speed approaches zero. The problem with this approach
is that most experimental data suggest that the diffusion parameters are functions of distance rather
than time. The use of time implies that the diffusion parameters are inversely proportional to a
power of wind speed rather than directly proportional as is commonly observed in wind tunnel experi-
-------
In retrospect, an attempt was made to determine what should
be done about situations with wind speeds less than 1.0 m/sec. One
method contemplated was to extrapolate the trend of observed concentra-
tions with wind speed averaged over all observations to eliminate the
appropriate values for low wind speeds. Tables 10 and 11 show the rela-
tion between wind speed and observed short-term concentrations for
locations in St. Louis and Chicago, respectively. The lowest wind speed
class at each of the two sites contradicts the otherwise consistent
inverse proportionality relationship. As a matter of interest, the pre-
dicted and observed minus predicted concentration relationships with
wind speed are also shown. These results show that the model predicts
a greater variation in concentration with wind speed than is reflected
by the observations. If all the error were attributed to wind speed,
the average overprediction error would be 50 percent or greater for
wind speeds less than 2.5 m/sec for St. Louis and less than 4.0 m/sec
for Chicago.
At present it appears that the model is inappropriate for pre-
dicting concentrations in very light wind situations (e.g., u <_ 1.5 m/sec).
An alternative is to use the model to predict short-term concentrations
for wind speeds in excess of 1.5 m/sec, and to use an empirical estimate
to predict short-term concentrations for wind speeds less than, or equal
to, 1.5 m/sec. An empirical estimate may be derived for a sampler loca-
tion by first dividing all the concentrations observed during each short-
term period (one or two hours) in which the mean wind speed is less than
1.5 m/sec by the average emission rate from all sources during each period.

The mean of these computed ratios times the emission rate Q.(t) for a
J
period (t) of interest provides an empirically estimated concentration
x-(t) as indicated by following equation:
J
(40
If observations are not available, an empirical estimate can be obtained
from the model by using a wind speed of 4 m/sec to approximate the light
wind speed situation and averaging the concentrations predicted for each
of the sixteen major compass points as a wind direction. The selection
of 4 m/sec for a wind speed is based on the validation results which
show that for St. Louis the mean concentration observed with wind speeds
of 1.5 m/sec lies between the predictions for wind speeds of 3 to 4 m/sec
and those for 4 to 5 m/sec; for Chicago the mean concentration for wind
speeds of 1.0 to 1.5 m/sec equal those predicted for wind speeds of 4
to 5 m/sec.
The cause of the trend from underprediction to overprediction
with decreasing wind speed is not clear. It may be associated with
inadequate estimates of the diffusion parameters a (and a to a lesser
extent) and with inadequate accounting of the effect of wind speed in
emission rates. At present no dependence on wind speed is considered
for emission rates. For example, the fuel consumption rate for
space heating is presently taken to be a function of temperature;
however, it is also affected by wind speed. During high wind speeds,
greater fuel consumption occurs than is predicted which results in
higher emission rates and higher observed concentrations than are
-------
predicted. Similarly, during light wind speeds, lower fuel consumption
rates occur which result in lower observed concentrations than are pre-
dicted. The dependence of diffusion parameters on wind speed is presently
taken to be one in which the parameters vary directly with the product
of wind speed and time (i.e., the parameters are functions of travel dis-
tance). While considerable support for this relationship has been reported
from tracer experiments in flat, open country, it may be less appropriate
in an urban area.
The mean prediction error (i.e., mean one- or two-hour observed
concentration minus predicted concentration at each sample location aver-
aged over all locations and all observing periods) is less than 50 percent
of the mean observed concentration for wind speed classes in excess of
2.5 m/sec in St. Louis and wind speed classes in excess of 4 m/sec in
Chicago. For wind speeds of 1.5 m/sec in St. Louis and a wind speed
class of 1.0 to 1.5 m/sec in Chicago the mean prediction error is greater
than twice the mean observed concentration in both St. Louis and Chicago.
4.2.4 Summary and Conclusions for Short-Term Concentrations
The Chicago error distributions are not greatly different
from those observed for St. Louis. Thus, although the overall distribution
of predicted values for Chicago seems to be biased to the high side, rela-
tive to the distribution of observed values, the magnitude of the errors
between predicted and observed values is not much greater. On this basis
the validity of the model has been summarized in terms of the frequency
distribution of absolute errors (predicted minus observed concentration)
associated with the results of this study. A tabulation of error limits,
-------
and the percentage of the comparisons between predicted and observed
concentrations which lie within each limit, is given in Table 12 for
the St. Louis and Chicago results. The values entered in this table
are obtained from Figures 17 and 24 by subtracting the cumulative per-
centage of overpredictions from the cumulative percentage of underpre-
dictions which correspond to a concentration error range.

As a concluding comment on this portion of the analysis, it
is noted that, except for wind speed discussed in the preceding section,
no single factor was shown to consistently affect the results. The
prediction errors appear to result from a variety and random sequence
of errors in both the observations and the model parameters. Factors
which are particularly uncertain are the accuracy of an individual
sampler observation for a short-term period (especially for the Chicago
data where duplicate sampling was not available), the hourly emission
rate estimates which may contain temperature or time of day biases which
-------
are systematic over the entire city, and estimates of diffusion param-
eter values (o and a ) which cannot clearly be delineated by atmospheric
stability measurements. A more complete discussion of the effect of
model inputs on model predictions is given in Section 5.0 on sensitivity
analysis.
If the validity of the model is judged on the basis of its
ability to reproduce the observed frequency distribution of short term
concentrations over a long term period, the model gives satisfactory
results when the combined frequency distribution for several observing
locations is considered. Comparisons of predicted and observed frequency
distributions at individual locations are more variable. Another basis
for judging validity is to compare the standard deviation of observed
minus predicted concentrations (root-mean-square-error) for model
predictions with that for empirically derived predictions. On this
basis, Marsh and Withers (1969) concluded from a model validation study
conducted with data from Reading, England, that empirical models are
more satisfactory than the Gaussian plume type of dispersion model for
predicting S02 concentrations from area sources. However, the model
approach is more general, does not require empirical adjustment, and
provides greater confidence for extrapolation to unobserved conditions.
It is concluded that, although one-hour or two-hour predicted
SOp concentrations show large deviations from observed values from hour
to hour, the frequency distribution of observed values over a month or
a season are closely approximated by the frequency distribution of pre-
dicted values. This conclusion is based on the use of routine airport
-------
and radiosonde meteorological observations for estimating diffusion
parameters and the mixing ceiling, multiple (three or more) continuous
measurements for measuring hourly averages of wind speed and direction,
and moderately detailed emission inventory data (e.g., including annual
space heating and processing fuel requirements and stack characteristics
of large fuel users, hourly power outputs of electricity generating plants)
4.3 RESULTS OF LONG-TERM CALCULATIONS
In the preceding section the validity of model predictions of
hourly (and two-hourly) concentrations, and the distribution of these
concentrations over a month, or a season, were examined. In this present
section, the validity of the model for long-term mean prediction is
examined. As with the short-term concentrations the long-term mean
concentration data include a moderately detailed emission inventory
from which hourly estimates of emission rates were derived, routine
airport weather observations to estimate atmospheric stability, radio-
sonde observations to estimate mixing ceiling heights, and the mean of
several continuous wind speed and direction averages (three locations
for St. Louis, eight for Chicago). Also, in view of the computations
required to derive a mean by averaging a large number of one-hour
values, the use of a statistical sampling plan to reduce the computations
is presented in Section 4.3.2. This approach provides a method of
treating many variables in the model (not just three) without unduly
adding to the computational burden. Finally, results obtained in this
study are compared with other long-term validation study results.
-------
4.3.1 Validation Results
Figure 29 shows the mean of predicted and observed two-hour
concentrations for the 1964-65 winter season consisting of December,
January and February at 10 stations in the St. Louis area. The means
show relatively good agreement with observed seasonal means. A root-
's
mean-square-error (RMSE) of 56 yg/m was observed compared to an overall
3
mean of 154 yg/m . Furthermore, the correlation between predicted and
observed seasonal means is quite good, as shown in Figure 30 (representing
a regression of observed values on predicted with a slope of 0.98 and
intercept of slightly less than zero). The correlation coefficient
of 0.675 indicates that the regression line accounts for about 46 percent
of the observed variance.
The mean of hourly concentrations for Chicago Telemetering
Air Monitor (TAM) stations for the month of January 1967 is shown in
Figure 31. The RMSE for monthly mean concentration at eight stations was
3 3
78 yg/m compared to an overall observed mean of 96 yg/m . Figure 32
shows the correlation between predicted and observed monthly mean values
for the eight stations. The slope of the regression line is 0.63 and
the intercept is 4.9. The results suggest a tendency of the model to
overpredict. In the above comparisons, cases in which the wind speed
was less than 1.0 meter per second were not included. For such low
wind speeds, local circulation effects will dominate over a general trans-
port phenomenon such as is inherent in a steady-state Gaussian plume
model.

The combined long-term RMSE for individual station means at
3 3
both locations was 68 yg/m compared to an overall mean of 128 yg/m.
This shows that the overall RMSE is about one-half of the overall
mean. The median observed minus predicted concentration for the two
3
locations was -11.5 yg/m . In addition the long-term mean was over-
predicated at 11 stations and underpredicted at seven stations. These
results indicate a tendency to overestimate observed concentrations
more often than to underestimate.
4.3.2 Use of Sampling Plan
In most previous approaches to computing long-term concern-
trations it has been assumed that emission rates are independent of
meteorological conditions, and the long-term average concentrations
were calculated using a mean emission rate. This assumption was necessi-
tated by the lack of data available to estimate diurnal variations. In
the more detailed approach used in this study all hourly concentrations
within a long-term period are calculated to determine the long-term
mean and the frequency distribution of short-term concentrations. This
requires a considerable computational burden. It is desirable to
introduce a computational procedure which does not bias the correlation
between emission rates and meteorological conditions and does not require
excessive computation time. An approach to reducing the running time
-------
developed (Hansen et al. 1953).* It amounts to deriving a mean and
frequency distribution of calculated concentrations using only a sampled
set of inputs. For example, if every other hour is sampled, the long-
term concentration may still be obtained and the computations are
reduced by a factor of 2. If every sixth hour is used, computations
are reduced by a factor of 6, etc. In the proposed plan the hours
are statistically sampled by randomly selecting the first hour of the
first day in the set, and selecting additional hours which are one
sample increment away from the selected hour, as follows: The first
hour is incremented by one for each succeeding day in the calendar
period. Thus, if the sample increment is six hours and the first
selected hour is hour 1, hours 1, 7, 13 and 19 will be selected from
the first day; hours 2, 8, 14 and 20, from the second day; etc.
In order to test the validity of the use of various sampling
intervals, the sampling plan was applied to the St. Louis data at each
of the 10 stations for which hourly calculations had been made for the
months of December 1964, January and February 1965. The mean, standard
deviation and deciles of hourly concentrations obtained with statistical
*The type of sampling used here is known as proportionate stratified sampling. The following
excerpt from page 121 of the cited reference defines the term: ".... the elements (sampling
units) of the population are divided into groups, referred to as strata, such that each element
is contai ned in one and only one stratum. The sample is then chosen by selecting a simple
random sample of elements from each stratum. The sampling fraction may vary from stratum
to stratum or may be uniform in all strata. • If the sampling fraction is uniform the sampling
plan is referred to as proportionate stratified sampling. "
The sampling units are hourly concentration values. The strata are the hours of the day
and the days of the week. The sampling plan ensures that the sampling fraction is uniform
over the strata. The method of taking every n-th observation is not strictly random but is
equivalent to it unless there is a periodicity of length n in the data. It is assumed that there
is no periodicity for the values of n used here.
-------
sampling intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours are listed in Table 13
for station number 3. Results for the other nine stations are shown in
Tables 14 through 22. The largest deviation of a decile concentration
for a 24-hour sampling interval, from that obtained with a one-hour
sampling interval, was 25 percent of the one-hour decile value. In
3
absolute magnitude the greatest deviation was 601 yg/m compared to
3
513 yg/m for the one-hour 90 percent decile at station number 12.
The results show that, except for the single highest value, the entire
frequency distribution of concentrations can be reasonably reproduced
using a 24-hour interval between sampled periods. Table 23 shows the
mean, standard deviation and deciles for all hourly station concentra-
tions combined. Except for the extreme maximum the largest difference
between a mean two-hour decile concentration and a decile concentration
3
from the 24-hour sampling interval is 17 yg/m for the 90th percentile.
This is about 10 percent of the mean value of 2-hour averages of
3 3
151 yg/m , and about 5 percent of the 90 percentile value of 363 yg/m .
In the view of the uncertainties in the model predictive accuracy on an
hour-by-hour basis shown by the comparisons between predicted and
observed concentrations, the small errors in constructing frequency
distributions by using the selective 24-hour sampling plan illustrated
above do not seem to be significant.

Table 24 summarizes the increasing uncertainty associated with
increasing the sampling interval. The root-mean-square-error (RMSE) in
mean long-term (seasonal) concentrations at a single station for various
sampling intervals was calculated by comparing the concentration means with
sampling to concentration means without sampling at 10 stations. The
increasing size of the RMSE with increasing sampling interval indicates that
one hour sampled out of every 24 is as large a sampling as should be used
in treating a season.

Comparison of the results with other studies, suggests that the use
of variations in emission rates improves the prediction of daily or seasonal

previous studies using mean daily or seasonal emission rates and observed
S02 concentrations have been reviewed in connection with this point. It may
be noted that in both examples the investigators suggested the need to treat
the variability in emission rates. The first example derived from Clarke
(1964), is shown in Figure 33 and illustrates the distribution of mean daily

concentrations of SCL at the Cincinnati CAMP station for 29 selected
days. The predicted values were generated using mean daily emission
rates and are generally about twice the observed values. The second
example was derived from Calder (1970). Figure 34 shows observed and
predicted (in parenthesis) mean seasonal concentrations of SO^ for 10
stations in St. Louis. The ratio of predicted to observed concentra-
tion varies from 2.6 to 4.3 which shows the general overprediction.
The climatological mean concentrations were computed by summing the
concentrations associated with combinations of six wind speeds, 16
wind directions, and six stability categories with each combination
weighted according to its relative frequency of occurrence; the diffu-
sion parameters used in these calculations are the Pasquill-Gifford
parameters based on stability indexes derived using Turner's adapta-
tion of Pasquill's definitions. The model assumes a mean climatolog-
ical mixing ceiling.
Figure 35 shows the observed and predicted frequency distribu-
tion of seasonal concentrations. The frequency distribution of observed
values is overpredicted by a factor of 3. Figure 36 shows a graphical
comparison of the results for the 10 stations. It also shows a regres-
sion line of observed concentrations on predicted concentrations deter-
mined by Calder for 40 stations. This figure shows that the 10 stations
are representative of the set of 40 stations, and further confirms that
the model overpredicts the St. Louis observations.
Other investigators who have included consideration of diurnal
variations in emission rates in their analysis have generally obtained

better results. For example, Miller and Holzworth have computed the
city-wide average concentration for selected early morning and after-
noon two-hour periods in Nashville on 31 selected days. The frequency
distributions of predicted and observed concentrations obtained from
this analysis are shown in Figures 37 and 38. The Miller and Holzworth
model is a rather extreme simplification of the Gaussian plume model
for urban diffusion analysis which completely ignores spatial varia-
tions in emission rates by use of a city-wide average. Therefore, no
resolution of the spatial distribution of concentrations is possible
with this model. This model has been recommended as a method of esti-
mating regional air quality where suitable monitoring observations are
not available and no single source is the principal cause of pollution
levels (Federal Register, 36, August 14, 1971, Part II).
Turner, who devised the scheme (based on the degree day con-
cept) for estimating diurnal variations in SCL emission rates in the
Nashville data used by Miller and Holzworth, used a more extensive set
of the same data to compute 24-hour average concentrations which included
consideration of the diurnal variation in emission rates (Turner 1964).
His results are not reported in enough detail to construct frequency
distributions; however, he reports that 43.7 percent of his predicted
two-hour concentrations at seven stations were within +0.01 ppm
(about 27 mg/m ) of the observed concentration. For 24-hour observa-
tions at the same seven stations he found that 58.1 percent of predicted
values were within +_ 0.01 ppm.

More recently, Fortak (1969) reported results with a Gaussian
plume type of urban diffusion model. The frequency distribution of pre-
dicted and observed hourly SCL concentrations at Sites #1 and #4 in
Bremen, Germany, for the 1967-68 heating season are shown in Figures 39
and 40. Average daily emission rate estimates were determined by
Fortak for these calculations. The graphs included represented the
best and the worst agreement obtained by Fortak at four sites. He
points out that Site #4 was in the vicinity of a large plant, and he
attributes the observed high concentrations to uncontrollable, and
unaccounted for, low-level emissions from the nearby plant. At Site #1
the agreement between the distribution of predicted and observed
concentrations is almost as close as that obtained in this study for
the St. Louis data.
The results cited above, and those from this study, show that
the use of temporal variations in SOp in emission rates in concentration
calculations leads to a realistic determination of the frequency distribu-
tion of short-term concentrations over a seasonal period, as well as a
more accurate estimate of the seasonal mean concentration.
4.4 FINDINGS
A summary of the preceding results on the validity of the
Gaussian plume type of multiple source urban diffusion model is given
below. These results are based on the predicted and observed concentra-
tions of SCL at 8 locations in Chicago during January 1967 and 10 stations
in St. Louis during December 1964 to February 1965. The predictions
used hourly estimates of meteorological and emission parameters. The
atmospheric stability was estimated from hourly weather observations

from an adjacent airport using the McElroy-Pooler diffusion parameters
based on Turner's definitions of stability categories. The mixing layer
ceiling was estimated from radiosonde observations taken twice daily
from remote locations (100 to 200 miles away). The wind speed and
direction were hourly averages of several 3 in St. Louis, 8 in Chicago)
continuous records. The emission rates of the largest sources were
identified and located individually. For other sources a mean emission
rate per unit area was estimated for a square gridwork of points with
a one mile spacing between adjacent points. Each emission rate was
related to hourly estimates of space heating and other operating
requirements.
The findings are summarized as follows:
1. Predicted long-term (month or season) concentrations
averaged over several locations are in good agreement with observed
concentrations.
2. Predicted long-term concentrations at individual locations
show a root-mean-square-error equal to about half the mean and indicate
a slight tendency to overestimate more often than underestimate observed
concentrations.
3. Predicted short-term (one or two hours) concentrations at
individual stations show larger deviations from observed concentrations
than'do the long-term predictions. However, over a period of a month,
or a season, the overall distribution of predicted short-term concentra-
tions closely approximates the distribution of observed concentrations.
4. Proportionate stratified sampling is an effective method of
selecting a limited set of short-term periods which adequately define a
representative distribution of short-term concentrations in a long-term
period. One hour out of 24 is a sufficient sample size for a three month
period if the selected hour is varied to include all hours of the day.
5. The calm, or light wind, case is not adequately treated by
the Gaussian plume type of urban diffusion model. Further study of
procedures for applying the model to this type of situation is needed.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Sensitivity is formally defined as the partial derivative of
a model's output with respect to its input. In the case of complex
models, however, a more practical definition, which is often employed
for analytical purposes, is the incremental change in output resulting
from an incremental change in input.
In a numerical simulation model as complex as the one utilized
in this report, it is not possible to study all aspects of sensitivity
analytically, nor is it safe to infer sensitivities from the form of the
Gaussian model, which is the kernel of the simulation, because of the
numerous interactions involved. Proper analyses require appropriate
numerical exercising of the complete simulation.
Sensitivity analyses of urban pollution models have been
reported by Hilst (1970) and Milford, et al. (1970a; 1970b). Hilst
applied sensitivity analysis concepts in an example case study of the
TRC Region Model, developed for the State of Connecticut, which involved
a combination of a trajectory-oriented Gaussian model with the puff
version for area sources and the plume version for major point sources.
Hilst's results are of interest, but as he attests, limited in scope by
the case study nature of the analysis.
The work reported by Milford, et al., deals with the variations
of the model developed for the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut Air Quality
Region. The studies which they have reported describe a model which
bears a general resemblance to the steady-state plume model implemented
-------
in the study covered in this report. Their work, however, is very
specifically oriented in form, input, and application to the greater
New York area, and their reported sensitivity results focus largely on
highly specific individual case examples, rendering useful generaliza-
tions difficult. The study in this report attempts to derive broad-
scale significant sensitivity findings from a generally applicable model.
This section describes the work performed to analyze the
sensitivity of the output concentrations of the multiple-source Gaussian
plume diffusion model to model input parameters. Important questions
to be answered by the analysis, which concentrates on the sensitivity
of the short-term version of the model, with reference to the longer
term climatological version where appropriate, are presented. The
parameters and their value ranges are discussed, the methodology is
described, and the analysis and results are presented. In the discussion
of this section, the broad-scale significant findings, where sensitivity
exists, are presented in summarized form. Appendix F contains descrip-
tions and samples of the computer printouts which give complete listings
of the sensitivity computations.
5.1 ELEMENTS INVESTIGATED
The principal points which the sensitivity analysis addresses
are presented in question format as follows. The analysis was approached
from this point of view in order to focus on questions which are
considered to be of the greatest practical significance, and the results
are intended to be definitive with regard to these questions. The
questions are identified in terms of type of model input, and each is
subsequently discussed in greater detail in the cited sections.
-------
1. Spatial Variability of Emission Rates. The question
here concerns the scale of variability in area source emission rates
which can impact significantly on model predictions. The two considera-
tions of primary interest in this question are the fineness of the grid
used to represent area sources, and the basis used for separating
significant point sources from area sources (Section 5.4.1).
2. Vertical Distribution of Area Source Emissions. This
question concerns the extent to which various vertical distributions
in the assumed emission height, and buoyancy rise, of area source
emissions may affect model predictions (Section 5.4.2).
3. Vertical Diffusion Parameters. This question addresses
the extent to which variations in the power law functions, which are
used to represent the vertical spread of pollutants with travel distance,
affect the model outputs (Section 5.4.3).
4. Decay Rate. The question here concerns definition of the
conditions under which this parameter significantly affects outputs
(Section 5.4.4).
5. Wind Speed and Hind Profile Power Law. The question of
model sensitivity to wind speed is normally straightforward, and becomes
complicated only when a decay rate exists. For zero decay, the model
sensitivity to wind speed is only slightly complicated by interaction
with the wind profile power law. Thus, the question of model sensitivity
-------
to both wind speed and the vertical wind speed profile power law is
examined (Section 5.4.5).
6. Mixing Ceiling. This question concerns the significance
of uncertainties in this parameter (Section 5.4.6).
7. Wind Direction. The question here concerns the degree
of resolution in wind direction to which the model output is sensitive
(Section 5.4.7).
8. Diurnal Variation in Emission Rate. The main question
here concerns the effect, on the predicted long-term average concentra-
tions, of any correlation of diurnal variations in emission rates with
diurnal variations in meteorological conditions (Section 5.4.8).
5.2 PARAMETER RANGES AND COMBINATIONS
Each of the sensitivity points raised in Section 5.1 focuses
on the sensitivity of the model to certain specific model inputs, and
all of the model inputs are incorporated in one or more of these questions.
In order to design model sensitivity experiments, it is necessary to
define a reasonable range of interest for each model input and to select
combinations of values of all input parameters to use in testing for
sensitivity. It will be seen that the inputs can be represented by a
small number of values scattered over the total range of values of
interest.
Sensitivity analysis in this program is focussed on changes
in calculated concentrations which are associated with changes in input
-------
for a given set of input values. In view of the large number of such
comparisons which are possible in the context of the preceding eight
questions, the first step is to define reasonable ranges of interest
for each parameter; subsequently, determination was made of which para-
meters have little influence on output over their defined range of
values, and the remaining parameters were analyzed in more detail.
The initial set of parameters and the specific input values
selected for use in the sensitivity analysis are shown in Table 25.
The values selected were based on the judgement and experience of the
in-house staff of diffusion meteorologists, as well as, to some extent,
on the numerical information developed in the course of the validation
study (Section 4.0). The following comments on the values selected for
certain of the parameters are in order at this point:
• Decay Half-Life: One obvious choice is for no decay
(infinite half-life); the other (30 minute half-life)
represents a moderately reactive material. (A third
extremely short half-life (5 minutes) was experimented
with to a small degree, with results reflected in
Section 5.4.3.)
• Hind Speed: The three values are intended to reflect
light, moderate and strong anemometer-level winds.
• Wind Prof i1e Power: Two values, arbitrarily chosen as
depicting the range.
• Wind Direction: (See Sections 5.4.1 and 5.4.7.)
• Mixing Ceiling: A very low value, an intermediate
(characteristic) value, and a high value.
• Piffusion Function and Stabi1ity C1 ass: The three
cases represent extreme atmospheric stability, neutral
stability, and extreme instability.

*An "infinite" half-life represents a material that is essentially stable, or non-reactive, in the
atmosphere, and corresponds to a zero decay rate. A 30-minute half-life is equivalent to a decay
rate of 0.023J/min.

In addition to the parameters listed in Table 25, there is a
need to define a selection of basic geographic patterns of emission rates,
as well as the selection of receptor locations relative to this pattern
at which to measure sensitivity effects. It seems reasonable to define
three principal, general situations concerning the relationship of a
receptor relative to an emission pattern:
1. The receptor is in an area of relatively uniform emis-
sions with no significantly strong upwind sources (upwind receptor).
2. The receptor is in an area of high emission rates
surrounded by noticeably lower upwind emission rates (as in the center
of urban area), (center receptor).
3. The receptor is in area of light or moderate emissions
with significant upwind sources (downwind of urban center), downwind
receptor).
In the validation analysis the relative contribution to the total emis-
sions arising from point sources in contrast to area sources had already
been defined for the receptor locations which represent sampling stations.
From these results it was noted that, in by far the majority of the
-------
cases examined, the overall contribution from point sources was small.
There were notable exceptions in which the point sources were the dominant
contributors to particular receptor locations under particular conditions.
The impact of such special situations is examined further in Section 5.4.7.
Meanwhile it was determined that the first order of importance was to
examine realistic patterns of area source emissions, in order to assist
in the definition of emission rate patterns and the associated receptor
locations for use in the sensitivity analysis.
The area source emission rates for each square mile and each
hour in the 2036-hour St. Louis data sample had been previously stored
on magnetic tape for use in the validation analysis. These data were
retrieved and used to generate hourly contour maps of the area source
emission rates, which were then studied to determine whether consistent
patterns were present. Three sample maps are shown in Figures 41
through 43. These represent relatively extreme variations in emission
patterns over the 89-day period. These figures illustrate the general
observation that, although the magnitude of emissions at any point may
vary by a factor of as much as ten, the distribution of the pattern
remains relatively consistent. No outstanding variation in the general
shape of the pattern was noted with time of day or day of week. As a
result, it was decided that the three receptor location characteristics
described above (upwind, center and downwind) could be reasonably
represented by a single emission pattern with three such receptor loca-
tions. The selected pattern is that shown in Figure 42. The wind

-------
direction was defined to be as shown (changes in direction are examined
in Section 5.4.7), and the three solid circles were selected as receptor
locations representing upwind, center (high emission), and downwind
receptor zones.
The sensitivity analysis was therefore performed in the context
of this representative background pattern of emissions, and the para-
meters listed in Table 25 were varied against this background.
5.3 METHODOLOGY
The methodology followed is a straightforward manipulative
one, in which changes in input are used to define changes in output.
The output changes are then examined as relative or absolute changes
and ranked to determine those which are most significant. Short-term
concentrations are emphasized in the analysis, and the sensitivity of
long-term concentrations is addressed in the text as appropriate. The
first step in the analysis consisted of computer runs representing
a full factorial replication of all combinations of the inputs identified
in Table 25 which are relevant to short-term concentrations. This
includes all but wind direction and the magnitude of diurnal variations
in emissions. The total number of combinations is 5832 (i.e., 2 pollutant
half-lives x3 wind speeds x2 wind profile powers x3 mixing ceilings
x3 diffusion functions x3 sets of point sources x3 area source grid
spacings x2 sets of emission heights for area sources x3 receptor locations)
Within this total, for each model input, two to three thousand sets of
variations (depending on.the input parameter involved) in model output
were therefore generated for each specified variation in input.
-------
Inputs which show little output variation over all sets, or
almost all sets, were accordingly identified as insensitive inputs, and
variation in these insensitive parameters was not considered further.
Each of these is discussed in Section 5.4. The selection of a criterion
which would represent a significant change in output over a range of
input values was governed by the validation findings. As a result of
those findings, it was decided that input changes must generate at least
a 50 percent change in output for the range of input values considered
in order to qualify as a significantly sensitive input. Where signifi-
cant change was found, the analysis was pursued in greater depth, as is
described in Section 5.4.
5.4 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS RESULTS
In the following discussion, the results of the analyses of
the computer runs described in Section 5.3 are presented in detail. The
analytical procedure for defining the impact of each input parameter
consists of identifying "sensitive" changes in calculated concentrations
resulting when an input parameter is varied. A "sensitive" change is
defined to be a change in the input parameter which results in a greater
than 50 percent change in the calculated concentration. Such cases are
then subjected to more detailed analysis.
5.4.1 Spatical Variability of Emission Rates
Urban diffusion modelers usually identify only the most
significant point sources, and obtain reasonably accurate estimates of
emission rates for these sources. Emissions from other sources are
-------
treated as uniformly distributed over a segment of area, and estimates
of the emission rate per unit area are made for such convenient squares
or blocks of the urban area. A square mile is a frequently used block
size.
The actual computational treatment employed in evaluating the
effects of these selected block sizes on urban air pollutant concentra-
tions may sometimes involve further assumptions regarding the distribu-
tion of source within each block (e.g., use of point sources, normal
line source, virtual point source, or uniform area source concepts to
represent each block mathematically.)
In this study the overall area source input data are represented
by a gridwork of point locations, each with its own emission rate per
unit area, and thus describing a smooth continuous surface (in the
mathematical sense) of area source emission rates. In the program
computations, linear interpolation between points is used to define the
emission rate as a continuous function of position in evaluating the
effects of area source emissions. For sensitivity analysis purposes
variation in the fineness of the area source representation is accomplished
by changing the spacing between grid points and the corresponding block
size in the area source emission inventory. The two questions of concern
here are, What is the real spatial variability in emission rates? and,
How accurately should the real spatial variability be reflected in the
model? Since the real spatial variability is not known, except as
estimated for square mile blocks, this parameter has been hypothesized
for testing sensitivity. The assumption has been made that when a unit
square mile area is divided into 16 quarter-mile squares, the emission
-------
rate per unit area for each subdivision will be approximately normally
distributed (in a statistical sense) about a mean value with a standard
deviation equal to one-half the mean. In the sensitivity analysis, mean
values for square mile areas were used with a random number generator
to define emission rates appropriate to the smaller quarter-mile squares.
Standard IBM computer routines for random number generation and inverse
normal function evaluation were used.
The basic computer model defined in Section 3.0 and the
selected set of S02 emission data drawn from the St. Louis data sample
were used to test whether changing the grid resolution (1 mile) to a
finer (0.25 mile) or a coarser (4 mile) mesh had a significant effect
on the calculations.
As a further sensitivity test, the effect of various levels
of aggregation of point source emission data into the general area
source emission rate was examined. This was done by comparing calcula-
tions when all (51), some (19), or none of the major sources were merged.
The point source emission rates associated with the selected area source
emission pattern are listed in Table 26. In addition to the two extreme
cases of merging none or all of the point sources, the effect of merg-
ing just those points, whose emission rates were less than 10 percent
of the largest emission rate, was examined (i.e., merging all but the
highest 19 emission rates). The location of the point sources relative
to the three sensitivity receptor locations is shown in Figure 44. In
order to examine the effect of large point sources on the center receptor
location, the wind direction was shifted as indicated in Figure 44 to
see what effect that would have on the sensitivity results.

Figure 44. Location of Point Sources in St. Louis Relative to Wind Directions and
Receptor Locations in Sensitivity Analysis
-------
Parenthetically, it will be seen in Section 5.4.2 and 5.4.5
that, when the initial large-scale screening analysis was performed,
two parameters were immediately demonstrated to have only insignificant
effects on the output concentrations. These two, the vertical distribu-
tion of area source emissions (5.4.3) and the profile power (5.4.5), were
accordingly eliminated from the analysis in considering sensitivity to
other inputs; at the same time, it was found possible to reduce the
number of mixing ceilings considered (Section 5.4.6) from three (100,
500 and 2500m) to two (100 and 500m) for most of the detailed comparisons.
Thus, the number of combinations considered in this section was reduced
from 5832 to 972 (i.e., two pollutant half-lives x3 wind speeds xl wind
profile power x2 mixing ceilings x3 diffusion parameters x3 sets of
point sources x3 area grid spacings xl area source emission height
x3 receptor locations). Of these, 324 represent the effect of a changing
grid mesh size as a function of meteorological conditions in the presence
of the standard of 51 individually identified point sources. When the
324 are examined in detail, almost half of the cases (141 cases or 47%)
show significant changes in concentration (40% change) when the one-
and four-mile spacings are compared. Similarly, 78 cases (24%) show
show significant changes when the 1- and the 0.25-grid sizes were
compared. When a shift in wind direction was considered, as shown in
Figure 44, the number of sets yielding significant changes with a change
in grid mesh size was reduced slightly.
These results show that averaging area source emission rates
over areas larger than 1 square mile can lead to significant errors in
estimated pollutant concentrations. Furthermore, if the standard
-------
deviation in emission rates of quarter mile squares (about 6 city blocks)
is of the order of 50 percent of the mean over a square mile area, (as
postulated in the beginning of this section), then even the use of square
mile average emission rates can lead to significant errors in estimated
pollutant concentrations.
Now, considering the impact of merging point sources into the
area sources, we recall that this examination focuses primarily on the
overall impact of such changes, rather than on the fine scale details
of effects on specific receptors in the vicinity of significant point
sources. The latter aspect is dealt with by Mil ford, et al. (1970a),
and, because of its wind direction dependence, in Section 5.4.7 of this
report. In the broader context, then, the following findings apply.
For the smaller grid sizes (1 and 0.25 miles) only a negligible number
(1-4%) of the cases show significant changes when the number of individ-
ual point sources is reduced from 51 to 19, and then to zero. For the
coarse 4-mile grid, we find 4 percent of the cases showing significant
concentration changes when the 19-source case is compared to the
51-source case, increasing to 18 percent when the "no-point-sources-
considered" case is thus compared.
Therefore, we see that the broad-scale concentration picture
is little affected either by treating individually, or by merging,
various numbers of point sources when the area source grid scale is of
the order of 1 mile or smaller; however, with a larger grid scale (of
the order of 4 miles), failure to take into account at least the main
point sources individually can cause problems. The 4-mile grid
-------
dimension was already questionable, of course, from the previously
stated findings on grid size alone.
5.4.2 Vertical Distribution of Area Source Emissions
Area source emissions of SOp consist of a large variety of
individual sources including stores, small plants, apartment buildings
and small single and multi-family homes, to mention a few of the more
common types. Since the emissions from these sources are primarily
contained in burned fuel exhaust, the emissions are hot. As a result,
the emissions are released from a variety of heights with a variety of
plume rise effects. Although it is convenient to treat all emissions
from a particular area as emanating from the same height, it may be
unrealistic to do so. Various devices may be employed to simulate
the vertical distribution, such as the use of multiple area source
heights or the assumption of a vertical dimension in the initial plume.
An initial vertical distribution of pollutants has been
simulated in this study by using multiple emission heights, and allo-
cating the pollutant emission rate among those selected heights. In the
sensitivity analysis, the results obtained by allocating 25 percent of
the area emission rate to a height of one-half the mean emission height,
and 25 percent to one and one-half times the mean emission height
(leaving 50% emitted at emission height), are compared with those when
all emissions in an area are at the same height. In terms of the initial
set of 5832 input combinations there were 2916 pairs of such comparisons.
In none of these was the.concentration resulting from one distribution
50 percent greater than from the other. In fact, only in the case of a
-------
combination of high decay rate, low wind speed, and stable diffusion
parameters, did one exceed the other by more than 25 percent. In
general, the difference between the vertical distributions was negligible.
As a result, in additional calculations, all emissions in any given area
source were treated as emanating from a single height.
5.4.3 Vertical Diffusion Parameters
One way of expressing a basic hypothesis (the narrow plume
concept), which was found to be acceptable in the model implementation
described in Section 3.0, is that the scale of variability in emission
rates (i.e., crosswind distance between significant changes in emissions)
is large relative to the scale of variability in plume concentrations
(i.e., the diffusion parameter a ). Furthermore, as was seen in
Section 5.4.1, the contribution of point sources relative to that from
area sources is significant only a small percentage of the time in terms
of the broad concentration picture. As a result, the crosswind diffusion
parameter is of only minor interest in the model. The impact of atmos-
pheric turbulence and stability is manifested primarily in the vertical
diffusion description.
The critical effect of choice of diffusion parameters for a
"one-class change" in stability for the basic plume equation (single
point source) is illustrated in Figure 45. This figure shows normalized
concentrations (xu/Q) along the plume axis, as a function of downwind
distance, from a point source at a height of 20 meters. The concentration
is shown for the four combinations of two mixing-layer ceiling heights,
100 meters and 1000 meters, and two sets of diffusion parameters. One
set corresponds to stable conditions using the E class of the Pasquill

parameters; the other set corresponds to the McElroy-Pooler (1968)
parameters based on the neutral Turner D stability category. The con-
centrations vary by a factor of 10 for the two sets of diffusion para-
meters when the mixing ceiling is only 100 meters and vertical diffusion
is thus severely restricted.
From an analysis conducted separately from the general sensi-
tivity study, the sensitivity of the model to the choice of a system of
diffusion parameters is further illustrated in Figure 46. Model predic-
tions for a three-week portion of the 89-day set of St. Louis data were
made using first the McElroy-Pooler system of diffusion parameters based
on the Turner stability classification system. The predictions were
then repeated using the Pasquill system and Turner's stability criteria.
The resulting frequency distributions of predicted 2-hour concentration
are plotted along with the observed distribution. The distribution using
the Pasquill-Turner system yields concentrations which are 40 to 70
percent higher than the McElroy-Pooler system for corresponding fre-
quencies. This sensitivity examination is somewhat unusual in that it
represents the effect of changing all stability inputs from one set to
another.
A more detailed examination of the effect of variations in
the vertical diffusion parameter (a ) is presented in Table 27. These
values were selected from the extensive set of combinations of model
inputs used in the general sensitivity analysis. They illustrate the
complexity of the interrelationships of diffusion parameters with decay
constant, wind speed and mixing ceiling. The most noticeable effect

-------
is the interaction between mixing ceiling and the diffusion parameter.
Under a low mixing ceiling (100m) differences resulting from changes
in a are minimal, while under a high mixing ceiling (2500m) the dif-
fusion parameter differences yield large differences in predicted
concentrations.
The results presented here indicate that, except in the case
of a very low mixing ceiling, the variations in diffusion parameter
categories can result in large variations in predicted concentrations.
Uncertainty exists, both in defining differences in stability categories
through suitable meteorological measurements, and in relating those
stability characterisitcs to specific values of diffusion parameters.
In view of the demonstrated sensitivity of the model to changes in the
diffusion parameter values, there is a need to develop a more definitive
system which relates diffusion parameters to objectively definable
meteorological characteristics.
5.4.4 Pollutant Half-Life
The effect of pollutant half-life due to atmospheric removal
processes on short-term model (one-hour) concentrations was examined
to determine whether it was significant, and, if so, under what conditions
it was most significant. A total of 486 pairs of model inputs repre-
senting no decay and a one-half hour half-life (486 of each) were
compared to examine this question. These consisted of the 972 selected
combinations discussed in Section 5.4.1.
From these pairs it is found that a 30-minute half-life (a
decay rate of 0.0231/min) causes a significant reduction in concentration
-------
in 45 percent of the cases. The most pronounced of these many cases are
associated with relatively light wind speeds (e.g., 2 m/sec), and a
receptor location which is located significantly downwind of the high
emission area. The 30-minute half-life resulted in concentration
reductions by a factor of 50 (98%) in the most extreme case. A selected
tabulation showing variations in the effect of the decay rate with
receptor location and wind speed is given in Table 28, for a 100-meter
mixing ceiling with the Pasquill Class E (stable) diffusion parameters
and for a 500-meter mixing ceiling with the McElroy-Pooler Class 1
(unstable) diffusion parameters.
The results show that the existence of a noticeable depletion
process will have a significant effect on concentrations in the low wind
situation. This effect will be especially pronounced downwind of high
emission rate areas, where the effects are noticeable even at high wind
speeds.
5.4.5 Wind Speed and Profile Power Law
The sensitivity of the model to wind speed measured in the city
was divided into two components: the wind speed at a reference height
of 20.8 meters (a convenient and representative height which corresponded
to some available data), and the power which defines the vertical profile
of wind speed according to the relationship:
u= U] ( £) P (41)
where
u = wind speed.at height h
u-, = reference wind speed at height z-,
p = power which is a function of atmospheric stability.

(1) All Concentrations were Computed Using the St. Louis Data with 51 Point Sources, an Area Grid Mesh of 0. 25 Miles, One Area Source
-------
In the initial set of 5832 combinations of model inputs defined
for the sensitivity analysis there were 2916 pairs of comparisons in
which all model inputs were identical except that the power varied from
0.15 to 0.30. In none of these comparisons did the resulting concentra-
tions vary by as much as 10 percent. As a result, this parameter was
eliminated from further sensitivity consideration and a value of 0.15
was adopted as the standard value.
In the absence of decay and plume rise the insensitivity of
concentrations to the power law parameter makes it clear that the model
concentration is inversely proportional to wind speed. This can also
be clearly seen in the model formulations. If the wind speed is constant
for all emission sources (no power law effect) it can be taken outside
the integral of Equation (9) and the summation in Equation (8) and
becomes a common factor in the summation of Equation (10). However, the
inclusion of a decay constant complicates the relationship. At the
upwind and center receptor locations the effect of decay is to slightly
reduce the inverse relationship. At the downwind location, the existence
of decay causes a reversal in the wind speed relationship over the light
to moderate wind speed range (2 to 6 m/sec). These effects are demon-
strated by the results presented in Table 29.
The modeling difficulties encountered when the wind speed is
of the order of 2 m/sec and less have been discussed in Section 4.2.3
of the validation analysis. To this must also be added the well known
measurement problems associated with obtaining a representative value
of the urban wind speed in light wind cases. While this is an infre-
quent occurrence (for the time periods reported in Section 4.0, winds

modeling and the measurement points of view.
5.4.6 Mixing Ceiling
The sensitivity of model concentrations to changes in the
mixing ceiling was examined using mixing ceilings of 100, 500 and
2500 meters. Effects associated with 486 pairs of comparisons of 100-
and 500-meter ceiling heights were examined based on the 972 input
combinations obtained as described in Section 5.4.1. The most pronounced
influence was observed for diffusion parameters associated with unstable
meteorological conditions (McElroy, Class 1). The least pronounced
influence was observed for diffusion parameters associated with stable
meteorological conditions (McElroy-Pooler, Class 1). The least pronounced
locations where minimal travel from the principal effective source region
was involved. These effects may be clearly discerned in the selected
results listed in Table 30. In addition to the 100-and 500-meter mixing
ceilings, results from a 2500-meter ceiling have been added for the
downwind receptor. These results show that under stable conditions the
increased mixing ceiling has no effect, but under neutral and unstable
conditions a noticeable effect occurs. These results suggest that, at
downwind locations where significant travel from the primary emission
area is involved, the concentration is nearly inversely proportional to
the mixing ceiling. With increasingly stable diffusion parameters this
effect is reduced until with the stable type of diffusion parameter the
effect of the mixing ceiling is negligible.

-------
In general, the results obtained indicate that the pollutant
concentrations are approximately inversely proportional to the mixing
ceiling (as defined in these calculations) under conditions which reflect
greatest sensitivity. Under such conditions this result is in agree-
ment with the predictions of a box model, in which the pollutant is
uniformly dispersed in the vertical. Under stable conditions, or when
the predominant pollutant travel distances are small, the model is less
sensitive to the mixing ceiling. Under the defined sensitive conditions
the model is thus subject to prediction errors associated with inac-
curacies in mixing ceiling estimates. Inaccuracies will occur in the
presently used, rather indirect methods by which hourly variations in
ceiling heights must be estimated with currently available meteorological
data.
5.4.7 Wind Direction
The influence of wind direction is most critical with regard
to specific receptor locations which may, or may not be, influenced by
a strong upwind source, depending on small variations in wind direction.
Thus, receptor locations in the center of a strong emission area are
equally affected by all wind directions, while locations outside a
strong emission area are strongly influenced by whether they are directly
downwind of the high emission area.
The effect of various possible errors in wind direction on
short-term concentrations was tested using the emission data discussed
in Section 5.2. The effect of errors in the wind direction estimate
of 3, 10 and 45 degrees was examined for the two wind directions shown
previously in Figure 44. The error was allowed to vary to either side
-------
of the true direction, and the absolute values of the resulting errors
in concentration were averaged for summarizing purposes. Resultant
concentrations were evaluated at the three selected receptor locations
shown in Figure 44, using combinations of the following parameter values:

Table 31 contains selected results for the case where all
sources (area and point) are considered, and the wind is first taken to
be from 349° (Table 31 a) (few large upwind point sources; see Figure 44),
and then from 020° (Table 31b) (many large upwind point sources). The
other fixed conditions are a neutral atmosphere stability and a 500 meter
mixing ceiling. The results for the 349-degree direction (Table 31a)
demonstrate the variations in model concentration which can occur with
various values of wind error, and show the change in effect of such an
error depending upon the specific receptor location considered. Errors
can go as high as about 25 percent at the central receptor, and up to

(1) All concentrations were computed using the St. Louis data with 51 point sources, an area grid mesh of 0. 25 miles, one area source height,
-------
100 percent at the downwind location. Note that the pattern is consistent
at the downwind location (increasing concentration error with increasing
wind error), but not at the central site. Changes in the stability
condition (to unstable, or to stable) and/or the mixing ceiling
(to 100m) show different absolute values of concentration and error,
but quite similar patterns. The results in Table 31 b for the 020®
direction should be interpreted bearing in mind that this wind shift
consideration transfers the relative locations of the up- and downwind
sites to some extent in the acrosswind direction (see Figure 44).
Errors at the central site can now become significantly larger (up to
about 70% ) because of the significant upwind point sources, and the
other two sites show increased errors, with the "downwind" site losing
the consistent increase in error with increased direction error which
it had in Table 31a.
These results show the extreme variability of this effect,
and the importance of obtaining a representative wind direction to
enable adequate definition of the individual short-term concentrations
at certain specific types of site locations.
For long-term concentrations, errors associated with the mean
wind direction during any given period tend to be compensated for during
other periods, when a sufficiently large sample is used to construct the
long-term mean and frequency distribution of short-term concentrations.
The use of a statistical sampling plan to select wind directions in
constructing long-term averages obviates the need for considering the
problem of defining an appropriate class interval size for characteriz-
ing wind directions in a long-term concentration model. The results of
-------
statistical sampling plan evaluation discussed in Section 4.3.2 show
that long-term concentrations consturcted using an unbiased sample of
about 100 short-term periods will properly reflect the effects of wind
direction variations.
5.4.8 Diurnal Variation in Emission Rates
The sensitivity of the model to diurnal variations in S02
emission rates is evaluated in this section by analyzing the factors
which affect the emission rate estimations. These factors are repre-
sented in algorithms which are used to define the spatial distribution
of emissions for any given hour and the variations of the emissions
from hour to hour. The algorithms used in the validation analysis of
this study to represent St. Louis and Chicago emissions are given in
Appendixes B and C, respectively. The inputs to these algorithms which
vary diurnal ly, and thus give rise to the diurnal emission variations,
are temperature, electric power load at generating stations, and hour
of the day. Since the errors associated with measurement of these
inputs are small, it is clear that the errors which are more critical
to model sensitivity are those associated with the assumptions in the
emission algorithms which convert these inputs into the distributions
of SOp emissions. In the discussion which follows, these sources of
error and their impact on model calculations are identified and
characterized.
Sulfur dioxide emissions are characterized as arising from
one of three types of operations, namely, space heating, electric power
generation, and industrial processing. All three operations emit S02
-------
as a result of fuel consumption. However, industrial processing may
also include some direct emissions of SOp. The amount of annual emis-
sions associated with each type of operation for each point source and
each subdivision of an area source is determined from emission inventory
surveys. These surveys may provide more detailed breakdowns including
seasonal or even monthly emissions. These annual (or other more
frequent) values of emissions determine the spatial distribution of
emissions by type of operations. These emission estimates also act
as scaling factors for diurnal variations which are applied to each
type of operation. Thus, they determine the magnitude of the diurnal
variation at each location. An error in one of the estimates creates
a systematic error in the model predictions for locations in the vicinity
of the error estimate. However, the occurrence of this type of error
will be distributed randomly over all sources. If concentrations are
considered at a number of locations widely dispersed over the urban
area, the overpredictions and underpredictions due to this type of error
will tend to balance at any given time.
Diurnal variations in emissions from electric power generation
are estimated by means of linear relationships with hourly electric power
loads of specific generating units (e.g., see Section 4.1). The error
associated with these estimates is small. The uncertainty of emission
estimates for proposed power plants would be greater. However, the
emission rate estimates for this type of operation are judged to be
sufficiently well represented that they have less impact on model sensi-
tivity than other errors which need to be considered.
-------
Diurnal variations in emissions from industrial processing
are allocated on the basis of scaling factors which define the percent
of the peak operating capacity which is applicable to each day of the
week and to each eight-hour shift of the day. The algorithms used for
St. Louis and Chicago allow for three types of days of the week, namely,
weekday, Saturday, and Sunday or holiday. An input to the algorithm
designates the type of day which is assigned to each particular hour
for which a set of emission rates is requested. In the Chicago case,
sufficient data were collected on each point source to assign a specific
type of day to each day of the week. For example, for some sources
every day is treated as a weekday, and for some other sources, Monday
is designated as a holiday. For national holidays, all sources are
assigned holiday schedules. During any particular day and hour,
variations in actual emissions from these scheduled average emissions
may be considerable. This is because industrial operations must respond
to fluctuations in demand and to breakdowns in equipment. These influences
will result in errors in emission rate estimates in the immediate vicinity
of individual sources. However, it is probable that these errors will
be randomly distributed over an urban area at any given time. When
concentration predictors are considered over a number of widely dispersed
locations, the overprediction and underprediction errors will tend to
balance. Only detailed analysis of production records of individual
plant operations can be expected to yield more accurate emission
estimates.
-------
Emissions from space heating operations reflect diurnal cycles
in demand for heat and in temperature fluctuations. Nhile these two
factors tend to have opposite diurnal cycles, the resulting diurnal
pattern of heating operations is rarely uniform. The emission rates for
space heating operations are estimated by the following equation:
Q(t) = qT [TR - T(t) - A(t,d)], [T(t) + A(t,d)] £TR (42)
where
Q(t) = emission rate for time t
qT = emission rate per degree
TR = reference temperature (usually 65°F)
T(t) = temperature for time t
A(t,d) = temperature correction for time t and type of day d.
The temperature correction is an empirical factor to account for the
diurnal variation in the activities of a city which affect its demand
for fuel. Corrections were determined for St. Louis for each hour of
the day for weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays by Turner (1968). Two sets
of correction factors were derived. One is applicable to residential
space heating. The other is applicable to commerical and industrial
space heating. A further correction has been applied to emissions for
the Chicago area where residential heating emissions were borken down
between large apartment buildings (20 dwelling units or more) and small
apartment buildings and residences (low-rise). A stoking factor, or
"janitor" function, which' permits no emissions from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
-------
(3 a.m. if the temperature is below 5°F), and requires a 50 percent excess
for the first two hours of the day (recommended by Roberts, et al., 1970)
was applied to low-rise residential emissions.
Random errors associated with individual sources of these types
may be expected. However, these are probably small. A more serious type
of potential error is associated with assumptions regarding the response
of such emissions to sudden temperature changes and to unseasonal temper-
atures. This type of error will be systematic and city-wide. For example,
since buildings provide insulation between outside air and inside air,
there will usually be a significant time lapse between a sudden temperature
change and the time when its influence on inside air requires full com-
pensation by increased fuel consumption. However, the emission algorithm
assumes this adjustment takes place immediately. The effect of this lag
on fuel consumption was pointed out by Turner (1968). His findings for a
severe temperature change of 15°F in one hour suggest that a six to
eight hour period of adjustment is required. The error in emission
rates during the hour in which the change occurs is shown in Turner's
example to be factor of two too high and to return to no error in
six to eight hours. While this type of error is critical to short-term
model sensitivity, it is not important for long-term mean concentrations
because sharp temperature changes are rare over a long period.
Systematic errors due to unseasonal temperatures can also
result from the fact that many heating systems, especially in large
buildings, are only partially controlled by temperature thermostats.
Large amounts of excess heat may be generated when the temperature is
unseasonably warm, and the emission estimate will be, correspondingly,
-------
too low. Similarly, insufficient heat will be generated during
unseasonably cold periods, with an emission overestimate. This type
of error will persist for periods of several hours to several days
depending on the duration of the unseasonable temperatures. These
errors should tend to compensate each other over long-term periods.
However, systematic errors will exist in short predictions and, because
the contribution of these sources frequently represents most, or all, of
the affected concentration, the concentration error will be directly
proportional to the emission error. A careful study of the magnitude
and duration of heating emissions is required to determine the nature
of heating system response to these types of situations.
It is concluded that mean long-term concentrations are not
sensitive to errors in the diurnal variations in emission rates. However,
it is clear that individual short-term concentrations will be proportionally
sensitive to significant errors in the diurnal variation factor. During
winter seasons, when ground level concentrations are primarily due to
emissions from space heating operations, the short-term concentrations
may be in error by as much as a factor of two due to errors in temperature
dependent emission rates.
5.5 FINDINGS
A summary of the preceding results on the sensitivity of the
Gaussian plume type of multiple source urban diffusion model is given
below. These results are based on calculated changes in short-term
concentrations at a point associated with changes in model inputs. Three
types of receptor locations are considered within a selected representative
-------
pattern of urban area source emissions. Combinations of two or three
values for each of 10 input parameters were examined in drawing conclusions
regarding the sensitivity of the model. A change in concentrations at a
point of at least 50 percent due to a change in an input value was
considered a "sensitive" effect. Sensitivities in many cases are complex
and interrelated, and the individual section analyses should be consulted
for details.
The sensitivity findings for each input parameter are sum-
marized as follows:
• Spatial Variability of Emissions. The fineness of the grid
spacing used to represent area sources must be consistent
with the dimensions of real spatial variability. For
example, if the standard deviation of emission rates defined
by quarter-mile squares is as much as 50 percent of the
mean emission rate for a square-mile, a change from a grid
spacing of a mile to a quarter-mile produces "sensitive"
changes. Furthermore, when a small grid spacing is used,
large individual sources may be aggregated into the area
source without producing "sensitive" changes.
• Vertical Distribution of Area Source Emissions. On the
basis of comparisons between concentrations calculated
using a single height for area source emissions, with
concentrations calculated using a distribution of heights
(50% of emissions at mean height, 25% at one-half the
mean height and 25% at 1.5 times the mean height), it is
concluded that this is not a "sensitive" input. No
"sensitive" changes were observed in the comparisons.
• Vertical Diffusion Parameter. Under conditions which do
not involve low (e.g., 100m) mixing ceilings, calculated
short-term concentrations were shown to vary by a factor
of from 3 to 10 or more when the diffusion parameters
are varied from the Pasquill Class E to the McElroy-
Pooler Class 1 (stability classes defined in Section 2.4.4).
This large sensitivity indicates the need for measure-
ments of atmospheric conditions which are clearly related
to differences in diffusion conditions (i.e., values
of az).
-------
Pollutant Half-Life. In order to adequately estimate
concentrations at locations downwind of major emission
areas, information on the pollutant half-life due to
atmospheric removal processes must be available. As an
extreme example of the wide spectrum of comparisons
obtained, highly significant effects were computed for
a location 30 km downwind of the center of the urban area
when comparing no decay with a 30-minute half-life.
Concentrations with no decay were 50 times greater than
concentrations with decay.
Mind Speed and Profile Parameter Value. Calculated
concentrations are insensitive to changes in the wind
profile power law exponent. Maximum changes in calculated
concentrations were 10 percent when the exponent was varied
from 0.15 to 0.3. Calculated concentrations are inversely
proportional to wind speed when pollutant decay is negligible,
Decay acts to reduce the "sensitivity" effect due to wind
speed at locations downwind of the primary emission area.
Mixing Ceiling. Changes in the mixing ceiling produce
the greatest sensitivity at locations for which most of
the pollutant arrives after traveling large distances.
At locations 30 km downwind from the primary emission
area, the calculated concentration varied inversely with
the mixing ceiling in unstable conditions. This maximum
"sensitivity" effect decreases with increasing stability
and is negligible in stable conditions.
Wind Direction. A highly variable sensitivity exists for
short-term single station concentrations. Small changes
in wind direction (e.g., 3° azimuth) may result in extremely
"sensitive" effects at some locations. Short-term con-
centration estimates are thus dependent on accurate wind
direction estimates.
Diurnal Variation in Emission Rates. Errors in reported
annual or seasonal emissions from particular sources will
result in proportionally systematic errors in calculated
diurnal variations in concentrations in the vicinity of
the emission error. Because the emission algorithms are
temperature based, unseasonable temperatures or sudden
atmospheric temperature changes will result in correspond-
ing systematic errors in predicted short-term concentrations
at all locations for a short lag period, until an adjust-
ment in space heating operations occurs. Over a long-
term period errors in short-term concentrations due to
differences, between actual and estimated emission rates
will tend to be balanced in the combined frequency
distribution of short-term concentrations for several
locations.
-------
Long-Term Concentrations. Sensitivity of the long-term
model is defined as it relates to the model described
in Section 4.3. Errors in model inputs will include the
sensitivity effects summarized above for short-term
concentrations. However, over a long-term period the
random errors tend to compensate each other. It is
evident that this is reasonably true for model inputs used
for validation analysis in this study, since long-term con-
centration calculations averaged over several locations
were generally found to be in agreement with observed
concentrations. Furthermore, the combined frequency
distribution of observed short-term concentrations at all
locations considered were well represented by the model
calculations.
The long-term model can be expected to show comparable
sensitivity to some but not all, of the systematic (as
opposed to random) changes in the parametric inputs
described above for the short-term model. Those which can
impact are the spatial variability of emissions, the
vertical diffusion parameter selection, pollutant half-life,
wind speed and mixing ceiling.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The results of this evaluation of the validity and the sensi-
tivity of the Gaussian plume type of urban diffusion model provide basic
definition of the capabilities and limitations of the model for simulating
urban air quality. The following represent the important conclusions
derived from the validation and sensitivity findings, respectively.
6.1. CONCLUSIONS FROM VALIDATION ANALYSIS
From the findings in the validation study in which comparisons
are made with data from two cities for one and three month periods, and
the model is implemented as described in Section 4.0, it is concluded
that:
1. For individual values of short-term (1- or 2-hour) concen-
trations at individual receptor locations, the predicted concentrations
show large deviations from the observed concentrations. However, a large
number of such comparisons over a month, or a season, produce frequency
distributions of predicted concentrations which compare quite well
with the observed distributions. The individual frequency deciles are
generally within a factor of two or less of each other. No single con-
trolling factor could be found which consistently accounted for a signif-
icant fraction of the deviations of the individual short-term values.
2. Predicted long-term (monthly or seasonal) concentrations
based on averaging of the calculated short-term concentrations, show
consistent good agreement with observations, with a root-mean-square
error equal to about half the mean, and a slight tendency to over-
estimate. This contrasts with results from other long-term models which
generally overestimate significantly; the improvement is concluded to
be largely due to the combination of two factors, one being the process
of accounting for the diurnal correlation of meteorological and emission
parameters, and the other, the use in this model of urban-derived
diffusion parameters (McElroy-Pooler parameters based on the Turner
stability classifications).
-------
3. A technique has been devised for calculating the long-term
estimates described above without the necessity of calculating every
short-term concentration involved. This is the statistical process of
proportionate stratified sampling, and is an effective method for select-
ing a limited set of short-term periods which adequately define the
distribution in the long-term period. As few as 5 to 10 percent of the
total number of short-term periods involved will describe the distribution
adequately, if the sampling is done as described in Section 4.3.2.
As noted in Section 4.2.3, the calm or light wind case repre-
sents a special problem; while suggestions for empirical treatment are
given in that section, the subject requires further study.
6.2 CONCLUSIONS FROM SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
From the findings in the sensitivity analysis, it is concluded
that, generally, concentrations predicted by the short-term model were
found to be insensitive to changes in the vertical distribution of area
source emissions and the wind profile parameter value. The concentrations
are sensitive, under some circumstances, to changes in spacial variability
in emissions, vertical diffusion parameter, pollutant half-life, wind speed,
mixing ceiling, wind direction and diurnal variation in emission rates.
The long-term model (defined in Section 4.3) is sensitive in some cases to
the spatial variability of emissions, vertical diffusion parameters,
pollutant half-life, wind speed and mixing ceiling.
More specifically, selected principal sensitivity results are
as follows:
1. A fine grid spacing (0.25 mile on a side) is necessary for
area source definition if the emissions vary significantly over a square
mile (standard deviation of emission rates as much as 50 percent of the
mean). Conversely, if a .coarse grid spacing is used, then more care
must be taken in determining the significant point sources to be considered.
-------
2. The model shows sensitivity to selection of the stability
class assigned in any given calculation of short-term concentration, and
additionally, overall sensitivity to the choice of one set of diffusion
parameters (e.g., McElroy-Pooler) over another (e.g., Pasquill).
3. Mhen pollutant decay is negligible, the model shows an
inverse proportionality relationship with wind speed; in the presence of
a pollutant half-life of 30 minutes, the variations of concentration with
wind speed at downwind locations are markedly reduced.
4. Mixing ceiling shows its maximum effect in terms of sensi-
tivity at large downwind distances under stable conditions.
5. Sensitivity to wind direction is highly variable, and of
course shows the most impact at individual stations downwind of major
sources.
6. Diurnal variations in emission rates are governed in the
model algorithms by air temperatures, and in unseasonably warm or cold
periods will result in proportionate over- or underestimates of emissions,
and hence concentrations; these will exist for a short (several hours to
several days) period, gradually recovering to correct the emission values.
6.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of this study, it is recommended that:
1. Consideration should be given to EPA's promulgation, for
general use, of the long-term version of the Gaussian plume type of
urban diffusion model described in this report, using the proportionate
stratified sampling concept, for the calculation of long-term means and
short-term distributions of pollutant concentrations. Appropriate
documentation should be prepared, together with processing procedures
for meteorolgical and emission inputs, and program manuals for an
optimized computer program (to be developed).
2. Study should be instituted on the various measurement and
classification problems described in this report, particularly (1) the
relationship of the appropriate meteorological measurements to the
corresponding stability categories, (2) mixing ceilings, and (3) wind
directions. In addition, the calm or light wind case should be studied to
to determine a satisfactory and objective method of predicting pollutant
concentrations under these circumstances.

IV. Meteorological Parameters:

The diffusion parameter K is 0.041 for "normal" conditions; 0.014
for stable conditions (based on ft, sec unit system). Use normal

(a) A two-level diurnally varying emission rate (i.e., constant
for 15 hours, zero for 9 hours) was used in this prediction. The
calculation as presented graphically by Lucas appears to be related
to a puff, rather than a plume, type of calculation in which emis-
sions during one period are traced during the succeeding period in
which zero emissions occur. The details of the calculation are
not reported.
-------
Exhibit A-3. Model Implementation by Pooler (1961)
I. Scope:
Mean monthly pollutant concentrations resulting from multiple
pollutant sources at a gridwork of receptor locations.
II.. Treatment of Sources:
Represent emissions (Q) from each square mile of an urban area by
a point source in the center. Treat all emissions as having an
effective height of 30 m. Receptor concentrations are calculated
for the same locations used as point sources. Emissions (q ) from
the square centered on a receptor are treated as a uniform
circular area source.
III. Computational Equation:
Treat the plume from a point source as having a Gaussian distri-
bution of pollutant concentrations in the vertical and a uniform
distribution over a sector of angle -rr/8 in the horizontal (allow-
ing for impenetrability of the ground and mass continuity). Let
f (u-,e) denote the relative frequency of occurrence of a wind

speed class with an average value of u- and a wind direction

IV. Meteorological Parameters:
Joint frequency distributions of wind speed classes having average
values of u. and wind direction classes having median values of e

are required to be known for the period of interest. Over periods
of a month the following values of the meteorologically oriented
diffusion parameters were used for Nashville, Tennessee:
a = 0.6, 6= 1.5, K = 0.06.
V. Validation Results:
An analysis of the regression of observed monthly lead peroxide
candle sulphation rate on concentrations derived by interpolating
isopleths drawn for the gridwork of calculated mean monthly con-
centrations was made for available data from 123 sampling locations
in Nashville, Tennessee, for the months of November 1958 through
March 1959. One-half of the observed concentrations were reported
to be between 80 and 125 percent of the regression relationship.
Less than 5 percent of the observed values deviated from the
regression relationship by more than a factor of two.
-------
Exhibit A-4. Model Implementation by Turner (1964)
I. Scope:
Estimate 24-hour gaseous pollutant concentrations (e.g., S0?) as
the mean of calculated 2-hour steady state concentrations at a
gridwork of receptor locations in an urban area.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Represent emissions from each square mile of a rectangular grid-
work covering the urban area source by a normal line source
centered on the square, oriented perpendicular to the wind, having
a standard deviation (a) of 402m and having an emission rate Q..
Treat all source emissions as having an effective height (h) of
20m. Use available data to estimate emission rates for specific
periods (e.g., 6 A.M. to 8 A.M., Nov. 12, 1958).
III. Computational Equations:
A. For short-term steady state,
Represent the emissions from each normal line source as a
Gaussian plume (allowing for impenetrability of the ground
and mass continuity) using a modification of the Pasquill
diffusion parameters a and a (see meteorological parameters).

Divide lonq-term period (e.g., 24 hours) into short-term
quasi-steady state periods (e.g., 2 hours) and compute mean

k=l
-------
IV. Meteorological Parameters:
Determine mean wind speed, wind direction and atmosoheric stability
class for each short-term period. Stability classes are defined
as described in oreceding text (see Tables 2 and 3). Using a
wind speed of 5 m/sec, the Pasquill diffusion parameters (a ' and
0 ) were converted to functions of time and stability class (see
Turner, 1964). Use t. and these realtionships to get (a ). and

V. Validation Results:
Calculated concentrations were estimated for sampling locations
by interpolating from an isopleth analysis of initial calculated
values. In 1036 comparisons (available from 32 locations and 35
24-hour periods without precipation, in Nashville, Tennessee)
the following results were obtained for calculated and
observed concentrations rounded to nearest pphm.
Number of zero di fferences 263
Number of 1 pphm differences 602
Average absolute error 2.06 pphm
Root mean square error 3.28 pphm
Skill score 0.13
In 2707 comparisons of 2-hour concentrations (7 sampler locations)
selected from the same period it was noted that 43.7% of the
differences were within 1 ophm.

Exhibit A-5. Model Implementation by Clarke (1964)
I. Scope:
Utilize accepted diffusion coefficients and readily available
meteorological data in a simple model not requiring an electronic
computer to estimate averaqe daily urban pollution concentrations
and diurnal variations.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Estimate short-term emission rates of significant point sources
(e.g., 2-hour rate for power plants; however, Clarke was only able
to obtain a constant emission rate for a single significant
Cincinnati power plant, i.e., 77 tons/day of SO^ and 4 tons/day
of NO ). Using emission inventory data grouped by homogeneous
/\
areas, estimate zero, average and maximum degree day emission
rates for each subdivision of a circular gridwork of model oriented
areas centered on a receptor location. Use daily degree day
observations to interpolate between these values. To define the
diffusion model oriented areas, determine the radial distances
ri > ro» r-3 ancl r „ which for Q. = 1 and u = 1 satisfy:
i i. o max i

nf ] C dx = „ / 2 C dx = „ / 3 C dx = / max C dx
0 A rl A r2 A r3 A
For a given stability class these integrals are functions of dis-
tance only and the divisions may be determined graphically. Wind
direction class sector lines and the radial distances define the
area subdivisions. For the area source H = 30m for SOp and 20m
for NO . For point sources the plume rise is given by the Davidson-
/\
Bryant formula (e.g., see Briggs 1969, p.23) and h.. = H. + AH..

For each quasi steady-state period determine the wind direction

I. Scope:
Maximum and average short-term concentrations over a metropolitan
area without the use of an electronic computer.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Represent emissions as a continuous and uniform area source with
infinite crosswind dimension and a ground-level source height.
III. Computational Equations:
Treat area source as a continuum of infinite crosswind line
sources, each with emission rates q dx. Represent the plume from
each line by a vertical Gaussian distribution down to the distance
where 1.25 times the diffusion parameter a equals the mixing layer
ceiling (i.e., travel time t.); beyond this distance use a uniform
vertical distribution. Only emissions with a travel time of 50
seconds or more are considered at any receptor.

IV. Meteorological Parameters:

wind speed and mixing layer height. The diffusion parameters are
-------
taken from Turner's (1964) time-oriented interpretation of the
Pasquill diffusion parameters. Class C was used for afternoons
and Class D for mornings. The afternoon mixing layer ceiling was
defined to be the height above the surface at which a dry adiabatic
lapse rate from the maximum surface temperature intersected the
morning radiosonde temperature sounding. The morning mixing layer
ceiling was defined to be the height at which a dry adiabatic
lapse rate from a surface temperature of 5° C greater than the
morning minimum intersects the morning radiosonde temperature
sounding.

Exhibit A-7. Model Implementation by Koogler,
Sholtes, Davis and Harding (1967)
I. Scope:
Estimate continuous or 24-hour mean ground-level concentrations
from multiple sources in an urban area.
II. Treatment of Sources:
4
Sources with an emission rate greater than 10 g/hr are treated as
point sources. All other sources are treated as an area source.
Estimate plume rise (AH) using the Holland formula (i.e., use
stack diameter, gas velocity and gas heat content; see Slade 1968).
The effective source height is:
h = (H + AH)
2_
3
If an inversion base exists aloft, h equals the height of the
inversion base. If an inversion exists at ground level and an
adiabatic lapse rate exists above 1.25 times H, no ground-level
concentrations are calculated. Divide the area source into square
mile subdivisions. Each square is treated as a uniform crosswind
line source 1609m lone.
III. Computational Equations
Divide 24-hour interval into periods of constant meteorological
conditions (i.e., wind direction, wind speed and stability classi-
fication) and duration t. .
A) For point sources such that x < ut.
C = —^ exp
p _.,_ _ r
-------
B) For finite line sources such that x < ut.
Cfl = 9 esp(-0.693
M
.5 - y erf804.5
Contributions due to emissions during one preceding
period are also used as follows:
C) When the wind direction is unchanged from the preceding
period, apply the above equations to sources with an
alongwind distance from source to receptor such that
u?t. <_ x < (u, + u?)t, where u, is the wind speed of the
preceding period and u? is the wind speed of the current
period.
D) When the wind direction differs from the preceding
period, the plume from each source during the preceding
period is treated as a line source. The concentration
distribution along the new line source is the crosswind
integral of the ground-level concentration. The line
source is allowed to diffuse in the new wind direction
allowing only vertical dispersion and decay effects.
The total concentration at a point during a period is
the sum of all point, finite line, and preceding period
emissions. The concentration for a 24-hour period is the
average concentration over all subdivisions of the period.
IV. Meteorological and Other Non-Source Parameters:
For each period of constant meteorological conditions, determine
the wind direction, wind speed and stability classification. The
-------
wind speed is treated as constant to 65m. Above 65m the relation
of wind speed (u,) at height (z,) to the wind speed (iu) at height
(z2) is:
ul = U2
where n is a stability oriented parameter varying from 0.18 for
extremely unstable conditions to 0.51 for stable conditions.
Estimate stability classifications defined by Gifford (1961) from
vertical temperature measurements. Estimate diffusion parameter
values for a and a for each stability classification from
Gifford's presentation (1961). Use 4 hours for the half-life (t5Q)
of S02.
Validation Results:
Calculated and observed 24-hour average SOp concentrations were
compared for 11 sampling stations. Data were obtained for 12 days
during .December 1965 and January 1966 and resulted in 111 compar-
isons. The observed values ranged from 0 to 3 pphm. When values '
are categorized to the nearest 0.5 pphm, a chi square test of
significance on a two-way contingency table (observed versus
predicted) showed the calculated prediction was significant at the
0.1% level. Furthermore, 95% of the computed concentrations were
within ±1 pphm of the observed concentrations.

Exhibit A-8. Model Implementation by Martin and
Tikvart (1968) (also Martin 1971)
I. Scope:
Average seasonal concentrations of pollutants at multiple receptors
from multiple sources.
II. Treatment of Sources :
Treat sources with emission rates greater than 100 tons/year as
elevated point sources. Estimate plume rise from the Holland
equation with a stability oriented correction factor (e.g., see
TRW Systems Group 1969). Treat all other sources as an area
source. Subdivide the area source into squares of 1 to 10 km on
a side and determine the rate of emission and average effective
height h. Each area source square is treated as a virtual point
which emits at a rate equal to the emission rate of the total
square at a distance (r ) upwind of the center of the square
dependent on the size of the area, i.e.:
r -
r "
o " 0.393
III. Computational Equations:
Both the area source and large point sources are represented by a
set of point sources. All wind directions in a 22.5° sector
centered on a 16-point compass azimuth are assumed to occur with
equal probability. The emission rate is assumed to be constant or
at least independent of meteorological conditions. Beyond a dis-
tance of 2 r the vertical distribution of pollutants is uniform
due to the influence of the mixing layer ceiling, where rm is the
travel distance such that a (r ) = 0.47 L. . In terms of the joint

concentration at a receptor point from all sources is given as

V. Validation Results:

Exhibit A-9. Model Implementation by Fortak (1970)
I. Scope:
Estimate long-term concentrations of ground-level S0? concentra-
tions from multiple sources and derive the associated frequency
distribution of short-term concentrations.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Treat sources with an emission rate greater than 1 kg/hr as point
sources. Estimate the plume rise using Stumke's empirical formula
which is similar to the CONCAWE formula (e.g., see Briggs 1969).
Treat small industrial sources and emissions during space heating
by dwellings as an area source. Estimate the seasonal emission
rate (QA) for each 500m by 500m square of the area source. Use
an emission height of 25m for squares in a downtown area and
15m for squares in a suburban area. A simple, but unspecified,
procedure is used to estimate the effective height of an area
source. Represent each square by a set of n by n indentical point
sources, equally spaced over the square. Each point has an emis-
2 2
si on rate of Q./n . Values of n from 81 to 144 are recommended.
III. Computational Equations:
Consider a fixed retangular horizontal coordinate with 5-axis
pointing east and n-axis pointing north. For wind direction e,
measured from north in radians, the alongwind distance x. and
crosswind distance y. between a point source at location (?., n-)
and a receptor at location UR> nR) are:

The concentration at a receptor from all point sources (including
area source representations) during a specific combination of
meteorological conditions is:
-------
c =
where 0o(v, w) = )
3 ^
The concentrations associated with each possible combination of
the classes of the three meteorological parameters which have a
non-zero frequency of occurrence may be calculated and ordered
from low to high. Summing the frequency of occurrence associated
with ordered concentrations a frequency distribution of expected
concentrations at a point may be constructed. From the constructed
frequency distribution the concentration for any probability level
may be estimated. The frequencies of occurrence may also be used
to calculate the long-term mean or the mean for any particular
wind direction class.
IV. Meteorological and Other Parameters:
Determine the joint frequency distribution of meteorological
parameters including wind direction, wind speed and stability
class for the long-term period of interest (e.g., month, seasonal,
heating period). Use 36 wind direction classes, 7 wind speeds
and the 5 stability classes of Turner (see text, Tables 2 and 3)
to define the meteorological conditions. For low-level emissions
(i.e., area sources) use the Pasquill diffusion parameters for
a and a (e.g., see text, Figures 2 and 3). For high-level
emissions (i.e., large point sources) use a slightly modified
version of the Brookhaven diffusion parameters presented by
Fortak (see Stern 1970). Treat the power-law used to extrapolate
observed wind speed class values to values at various stack
-------
heights as a function of atmospheric stability using values
reported in the literature. Use 500m for the height of the mixing
layer ceiling (L).
Validation Results:
Calculated and observed S0? concentrations were compared at 4
locations in Bremmen, Germany, for the 1967-68 heating season (i.e.,
November through May). The cumulative frequency distributions of
calculated and observed concentrations for the season were com-
pared graphically at each location. In general, the observations
were overestimated at three stations and underestimated at one.
Monthly and seasonal means for the four locations were also com-
pared. The observed seasonal means were 0.06 mg/m at one station
3
and 0.08 mg/m at the other three. The calculated minus observed
seasonal concentrations were -0.04, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.04 mg/m .
The observed monthly means (for 4 stations times 7 months) ranged
3
from 0.03 to 0.13 mg/m . The calculated minus observed monthly
3
concentrations for the 28 values ranged from -0.05 to 0.06 mg/m .

McCoyd, Aronowitz and Scanlon (1970)
I. Scope:
Use short-term pollutant concentration estimates to give long-term
concentrations.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Treat electric power plants as point sources. Determine the
emission rate and effective height of each plant. Treat other
sources as an area source. Area source characteristics are
available from emission inventory surveys by square subdivisions.
Combine characteristics in the outer regions of the source area to
define characteristics in terms of coarser subdivisions. Represent
each square by treating it as a double virtual point, i.e., as a
two-dimensional plume with assumed vertical and horizontal diffu-
sion parameter values at the center of the square. Determine the
emission rate, initial vertical and horizontal diffusion parameter
value, and mean effective source height for each subdivision.
III. Computational Equations:
Since both the area source and point source are treated as a set
of point sources the standard Gaussian plume equation is applicable
to each calculation. Use a version (specific equation not speci-
fied) which includes wind speed, wind direction, stability class,
mixing ceiling, source location relative to a receptor, source
emission rate and source effective height as parameters. Parameter
values are fixed for a short-term period. W-ith an inversion aloft,
assume no effect due to the inversion up to a certain distance.
At some greater distance assume uniform vertical mixing. Use
linear interpolation at intermediate distances.
-------
IV. Meteorological Parameters :
Make estimates of the wind direction, the wind speed and the mixing
layer ceiling representative of the region for a selected period.
Estimate a stability class aporopriate for use with the McElroy-
Pooler (1968) diffusion parameters. For use with virtual point
sources it is necessary to determine a virtual distance associated
with the assumed initial diffusion parameter. Determine diffusion
parameters for each downwind travel distance from source to recep-
tor by determining the diffusion value corresponding to a distance
equal to the sum of the virtual distance olus the travel distance.
V. Validation Results:
Comparisons were made between calculated and observed S0? concen-
trations at 10 telemetry stations in New York City for the July
through August 1969 period. Calculations were made for each hour
of the period using wind speed and direction data from La Guardia
Airport, an infinite mixing layer ceiling, plume rise estimates
for large point sources based on a 10 mph wind speed using the
CONCAWE formula (e.g., see Briggs 1969), and the McElroy-Pooler
stability class 4 (see text, Table 5) diffusion parameters. The
means of all calculated concentrations for all hours and all
stations were 6.8 and 6.6 pphm for July and August, respectively.
The corresponding observed means were 7.0 and 7.5 pphm. Of the
20 sets of individual station monthly means, 15 calculated means
were within a factor of 2 of observed means.. The largest discre-
pancy was an overprediction by a factor of 4. A summary of statis-
tics reported for comparisons of hourly comparisons is as follows:

concentrations in urban areas for producing (1) concentration
isopleths for a specific time, (2) concentration histories for a
specific location and (3) long-term climatological summaries of
concentrations for specific locations.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Treat all CO emissions as a ground-level area source. For each
receptor location considered, estimate the emission rate per unit
area applicable to angular segments centered on a line pointing
upwind from the receptor. The angular segments have a width of
45° out to 1 km. Beyond 1 km the angular segments have a width of
22.5 . The segments are bounded by arcs with radii of 0.125,
0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 km.
III. Computational Equations:
Use the Gaussian plume diffusion model for treating emissions over
travel distances which are less than the distance (r-r) at which
the Gaussian plume model concentration equals that obtained from
uniform mixing beneath the mixing layer ceiling.
rT = <*7T> 1J where rN < rT < Vl

Comparisons were made between calculated and observed hourly con-
centrations of CO during weekdays of March to December 1964 for
the St. Louis CAMP station. The correlation coefficients ranged
from 0.16 to 0.45 with a mean of 0.31. The RMSE ranged from 4.7
to 8.8 ppm with a mean of 6.2 ppm. A good portion of the RMSE is
attributable to a background level which was estimated for each
month and found to vary between 3.5 and 7.0 ppm.

I. Scope:
Estimate lonq-term average concentrations of gaseous pollutants
using point and area source emission inventory data together with
climatological frequency data for wind speed, wind direction,
atmospheric stability and mixing depth.
II. Treatment of Sources:
Treat large sources with emission rates in excess of 100 tons/yr
as elevated point sources. Determine the seasonal emission rate,
physical stack height, and additional stack parameters required to
estimate plume rise (e.g., see Briggs 1969). Treat other emissions
as an area source. Determine seasonal emission rates for sub-areas
of the area source which are chosen in relation to the spatial
uniformity of the source distribution. Determine the uniform
effective height which is most applicable for the area source
(e.g., 20m was selected for St. Louis).

IV. Meteorological and Diffusion Parameters:
The meteorological parameters in the above model are wind speed,
wind direction, stability classification, and climatological
mixing layer ceiling (e.g., as tabulated by Holzworth, 1964).
Generate the joint frequency distribution of wind speed, wind
direction, and stability classification using standard Weather
Bureau airport observations. On this basis, there are 16 wind
direction categories with dividing azimuths 6^, 6 wind speed
categories (each with a representative value u-)» and 5 stability
J
categories corresponding to the A to E Pasquill diffusion parameter
classes, but determined using Turner's criteria (see text, Figures
2 and 3). The mixing layer ceiling L is determined from the
seasonal average daily maximum mixing death (L in Meters) and the
stability classification as follows:
Stability Classification Lk (meters)
A 1.5 L
B, C, D (day) , L
D (night) 0.5 (100 + L)
E 100
The Pasquill diffusion parameters o (x; k) are determined from the
following relationships fitted to curves presented by Gifford (1961)
az(x; k) = ak. x ki + cki
For each value of k there are three possible sets of coefficients
(a^, b, . c, .). The proper set depends on which of 3 distance
ranges contains x (i.e., <100, 100-100C, >1000; see Calder (1970)
for the 45 coefficient values).
V. Validation Results:
Calculated and observed seasonal mean S0? concentrations were com-
pared for St. Louis winter season data (Dec. 1, 1964 to Feb. 28,
-------
1965). A regression analysis of observed on calculated values
o
(pg/m ) for 40 sampling stations resulted in a correlation coeffi-
cient of 0.775 an intercept of 19.98 and a slope of 0.26.

INTRODUCTION
This appendix summarizes the St. Louis data which have been
obtained and identifies their sources.
Punched cards were received from the government (Division of
Meteorology, National Environmental Research Center, Research Triangle
Park, EPA) which contain emission information, meteorological observa-
tions, air quality observations, and algorithms for estimating S02
emission rates for St. Louis. The data covered the period
1400 December 1, 1964 to 1400 February 28, 1965. The characteristics
and sources of these data are briefly reviewed below.
-------
Section 2.0
EMISSION DATA
Turner (1968b) has developed an algorithm for estimating S02
emissions as a function of location, temperature, time of day and day of
week. This algorithm represents emissions in terms of two types of sources,
point sources and area sources. The computation formulas are presented
below for each type of source both in terms of the input provided by the
punch cards and in terms of the original information which is the basis
for the punched card data. Much of the original information is not
available; however, formulations in terms of original data help to
indicate the nature of input errors and uncertainties associated with
the data and the derived emission estimates.
2.1 POINT SOURCES
Information regarding utility power plants and industrial
plants are available in different levels of detail. As a result, each
is discussed separately.
2.1.1 Industrial Sources
Industrial SOp emissions are the sum of emissions from process
and space heating fuel consumption. The emissions from process fuel
requirements are estimated by multiplying a peak process emission rate by
utilization factors related to the day of the week and the hour of the
day. The emissions from space heating requirements are determined in
terms of the outside air temperature deficit from 65°F. The algorithm
-------
used for St. Louis is:
Q(t) = Qp Fd(t) Fh(t) + qx Dc(t) (1)
where
Q(t) = SCL emission rate
Q = peak process SOg emission rate
F.(t) = fraction of peak for day of week
Fh(t) = fraction of peak for hour of day
q = heating fuel S0? emission rate per degree (i.e., per
J\ £
degree of ambient air temperature below 65°F)
Dc(t) = 65 - [T(t) + Ac(t)]
T(t) = ambient air temperature, °F
Ar(t)= commerical correction factor, °F (Turner 1968a).
c
The quantities Q , F.(T) and F. (t) were obtained by Turner from
survey questionnaires submitted by plant operators. The quantity qv may
A
be obtained from annual emission information by the following formulae:
<
-------
q = S09 emission rate per degree
A C-
(F ). = fraction of annual quantity of fuel j used in winter
J season
D = winter season degree days.
W
In terms of initial source data:
Q(t) = Qp Fd(t) Fh(t) + [65 - T(t) - Ac(t)] \- \ Wj Sj (4)
In addition to the emission rate parameters, i.e., Q , F^,
Fh, q and A , the furnished punched card data included location
11 A w
coordinates of the source, the physical height of the source stack
(effective height if no plume rise data is given) and the plume-rise,
wind-speed product. The plume-rise, wind-speed product was estimated
by means of Holland's (1953) formula using data obtained in the course
of an inventory survey. Only the resultant product data were available
for this study.
2.1.2 Power Plant Sources
Power plant SOp emissions were estimated by two different
methods, each developed to fit a certain type of available data. For
four plants, stack operating characteristics were obtained as a function
of plant output. For these plants hourly outputs in megawatts were
available for the entire data period. For one plant this information
was broken down by generating unit. The information included graphs
of fuel weight flow rate, stack temperature and stack exit gas volume
flow rate as functions of power output. The fuel flow rates were
-------
found to be appropriately represented by a linear relationship of the
form
F = A1 + A2 L (5)
where F = fuel weight flow rate, Ib/min
L = power output, megawatts
A,,A2 = empirical parameters.
The stack temperature and volume flow rate were also estimated by a
linear relationship with power output. However, it was found necessary
to divide the range of power outputs from zero to a peak value into
3 equal parts and to use a linear approximation over each part or class
of the range. Two values of stack temperature and of stack gas flow
rate were selected to define the end points of a linear approximation
for each class of power output values. However, a single end point
was selected for adjacent classes. As a result, four values of stack
temperature and flow rate and the peak power output allow one to
construct a linear approximation of these parameters as a function of
power output. Specifically,

Values of the class limits and the peak power load for seven emission
points in the St. Louis area are given in Table B-l . Values of the
empirical parameters for estimating fuel weight flow rate are also shown.
The fuel flow rate may be converted to an S0? emission rate by means of
a proper SOp emission factor and the sulfur content of the fuel as
follows:
where Q = S02 emission rate, Ib/min
F = fuel weight flow rate, Ib/min
E = S02 emission factor, Ib S02/lb S (~ 2)
S = sulfur content of fuel, percent.

For another power plant site, an average emission rate was
estimated for each two-hour period of the day for each of four emission
sites. A corresponding estimate of the wind speed, plume rise product
was also made for each site. These estimates were assumed to be repre-
sentative of all days in the data period. The estimates were derived
by government personnel based on discussions with the plant operator.
The estimates were part of the set of punched card data furnished by
the government.
In addition to the emission data described above, the govern-
ment furnished punched card data included location coordinates and
physical stack heights.
2.2 AREA SOURCES
Area source emissions for SOp were available for St. Louis in
5000 ft by 5000 ft grid squares. Emission data for several categories
of sources (including residential, commercial, river vessels, auto-
mobiles, railroads, backyard burning and industrial) were available on
punched cards for each grid square. The information amounted to a
parameter estimate for use in the following algorithm developed by
Turner (1968b):
Q(t) = Qr + qr Dr(t) + Qc Fc(t) + qc Dc(t) + QV + Q
a
Dr(t) = 65 - T(t) - Ar(t)
Dc(t) = 65 - T(t) - Ac(t)

where Q(t) = SCL emission rate
Q = base residential S02 emission rate
q = residential heating SCL emission rate per degree
T(t) = ambient air temperature
Ar(t) = residential correction factor (Turner 1968a)
A (t) = commercial correction factor (Turner 1968a)

The parameters and variables in the above algorithm reflect
a combination of basic data and assumptions. As a result, an attempt
has been made to divide the above parameters into more fundamental com-
ponents so that assumed and reported or observed values can be more
easily identified. In the notation below subscripts i and j are intro-
duced on parameters which vary from one area source to another. Subscript

2.3 SUMMARY OF ST. LOUIS EMISSION PARAMETERS
Table B-2 lists the source parameters for estimating SOg emission
rates for St. Louis point sources, the basis of the parameter estimate and
the source of the information. Table B-3 shows the derived average
diurnal variations in power plant SOp emission rates and plume rise factors
for one plant with four emission sites. Table B-4 shows the diurnal
variation in the commerical and residential temperature corrections for
space heating requirements. Table B-5 lists the area source parameters
available for estimating SC^ emission rates for St. Louis area sources.
As in Table B-2, the basis for the estimate and the source of information
are also included. Table B-6 shows the diurnal variation in the com-
merical base emission factor and in the automotive emission factor.
Miscellaneous additional emission parameters are listed in Tables B-7,
B-8, and B-9.

AIR QUALITY DATA
Two types of SCL measurements are available for St. Louis.
Ten stations with average two-hour observations are available, and
40 stations with average 24-hour observations are available. The
sampling period for 24-hour observations began and ended at 2 p.m.
daily. This time of day permits bubbler collectors to be switched at
a time when ambient concentrations are expected to be a minimum. Both
2-hour and 24-hour samplers used a bubbler collection assembly to
measure SOp concentrations. The basic National Air Sampling Network (NASN)
gas sampling bubbler, with slight modifications, was used. Each bubbler
consisted of a polypropylene centrifuge tube (4 inches long by 1 inch
diameter) fitted with a two-hole rubber stopper. A glass tube extended
to approximately 5/16-inch from the bottom of the bubbler tube. The
airflow was regulated with a standard Gel man orifice assembly. Flow
rate determinations were made weekly with a calibrated flow meter. In
the two-hour samplers approximately 120 liters of air was bubbled through
the sampler each two hours. An external vacuum pump draws air through
the bubbler where sulfur dioxide is stripped from the air stream by the
complexing action of sodium tetrachloro-mercurate absorbing reagent. The
collected samples were transported to a laboratory where they were
analyzed for S02 concentrations. Twelve two-hour samples were picked
up for analysis each day and analyzed in a specially set up local
laboratory. The analytical method used was that of West and Gaeke as
modified by Welch and Terry. Duplicate sets of 24-hour samples were
-------
available at the same locations as the two-hour samples. A comparison
of the 24-hour concentrations measured by two-hour samplers and by the
24-hour samplers revealed that two-hour samplers averaged about 15 per-
cent higher than the 24-hour samplers.

INTRODUCTION
This appendix presents descriptions, sources and summaries of
SOp emission, meteorological, and observed SOp concentration data for
Chicago which were used in the validation analysis of the study pre-
sented in the main body of this report. The principal data were obtained
on magnetic tape from Argonne National Laboratory and were generated by
their APICS data management system (Chamot, et al., 1970). Additional
data on source locations and emission inventory results were obtained
on punched cards. The data used in the study cover the period 0000
January 1, 1967 to 2300 January 31, 1967. Additional data covering
the 13-month period of December 1966 to December 1967 were obtained but
not used. A review of these data revealed irregularities in the data
and large blocks of missing data. It was assumed that representative
judgments could be made from the one-month sample.

Section 2.0
EMISSION DATA
Emission information is available for point sources (the larger
emission sources) and a grid work of square areas one mile on a side.
Location coordinates of the points and the areas are referenced to fixed
\
coordinates. Information regarding each of these two types of sources
is discussed separately in subsequent paragraphs. The development of
these data is described in reports from Argonne National Laboratory
CCroke, et a.!., 1968a,b,c; Roberts, et al., 1970; Chamot, et al., 1970).
2.1 AREA SOURCE DATA
For each square mile area an estimate of the annual SOp emis-
sion rate was obtained for each of three classes of emitters. These
include:
Class I: Low rise residential structures consisting
of 19 or less dwelling units,
Class II: High rise residential structures, consisting
of 20 or more dwelling units, and commercial
and institutional buildings, and
Class III: Industrial plants not large enough to be
treated as individual point emitters.
In addition to the annual emission rates, estimates regarding effective
stack heights and diurnal variations in emission rates were generated
in Argonne's extensive study of Chicago emission data. Algorithms for
estimating diurnal variations in emission rates are given by Equations
(6), (7), and (8) in the Table C-l. In Equations (6) and (7), 20%
of the annual emissions are attributed to hot water requirements and
distributed evenly over the year. The remaining emissions for Classes
I and II are attributed to space heating requirements and are allocated

on the basis of outside air temperature deficit below 65 F. Only the

temperature is over 65°F. Equation (6) includes a "janitor" factor
U. to account for "hold fire" periods after 10 PM and for a 50% increase
in the burn rate during the first two early morning start up hours

Dept. of Air Pollution Control
2.2 POINT SOURCES
Point sources are of two types: industrial and power plants.
Data relating to power plant emissions include generator operating
characteristics, stack heights, location coordinates of the plant site,
and the sulfur content of the fuel used. Observed thermal input
-------
requirements (fulfilled by burning coal) for observed power output
were estimated by Argonne (Roberts, et al.,1970) in the form :
T = AL+B
where T = thermal input requirement, BTU/hr
L = power output, megawatts
A,B = empirical parameters
The fitted coefficents and the hourly log of power output for the data
period were obtained from Argonne. The percentage of the burned fuel
exhaust gases diverted to each plant stack (w.) were obtained for each
J
generator unit. This information is utilized in Equation (1) of the
Table C-l to estimate the emission rate from each stack. The heat
content of coal is taken to be 240 therms/ton (a therm is 10 BTU's).
The empirical parameters A and B, the fuel sulfur content, the
stack height, the plant location coordinates, and the generator-to-stack
exhaust coefficients (w.) are available on punched cards. The hourly
J
power outputs for each generator are available on magnetic tape.
Data relating to the larger industrial emissions treated as
point sources include the process operating characteristics and fuel
requirements, the plant space heating requirements, the relative amounts
of each type fuel used to meet fuel requirements, the sulfur content of
each fuel, the percentage of exhaust gas allocated to each plant stack,
and the outside air temperature. Fuel requirements for spacing heating
were estimated by Argonne to vary from zero at 55°F to a maximum peak
-------
value at -10°F. A linear relationship with outside air temperature is
assumed to be valid as follows:
H = 55"T L
where H = fuel requirements for space heat, therms/hr
T = outside air temperature, °F
L = peak space heating requirement, therms/hr
Fuel requirements for industrial processes are related to seasonal and
diurnal operating characteristics by means of utilization factors
determined from survey questionnaires and interviews with plant
operators processed by Argonne (Roberts, et al., 1970). The fuel
requirement may be stated as follows:
Hp • Us Um Lp
where H = fuel requirement for industrial process, therm/hr
U = shift utilization for shift of day (midnight, day or
swing) and day of week, fraction of monthly utilization
U = month utilization, fraction of peak rate
L = peak fuel requirement for industrial processes,
" therm/hr
All of the above characteristics are reflected in the emission
rate algorithm of Equation (2) in Table C-l. Outside air temperatures
for the data period are available on magnetic tape. All other data and:
contained on punched cards. The heat content of coal is taken to be
240 therms/ton. The heat content of oil is taken to be 1440 therms/
1000 gal.
-------
Data were also collected regarding certain additional sources
which were considered appropriate for treatment as point sources but
for which the available data were not compatible with the power plant or
industrial emission algorithms. The annual emissions were reported for
each source. In addition each source was judged to conform to one of
three types of diurnal emission patterns. These patterns consist of
uniform emission, hot water plus temperature dependence, and pumping
station pattern in which the nighttime emission rate is about one-third
the daytime emission rate. The algorithms for estimating emission rates
are listed as Equations (3), (4) and (5) in Table C-l. The annual
emission rate for each source and its classification by diurnal emis-
sion pattern are available on punched cards along with the source location
coordinates and stack heights. Emissions are allocated equally among
stacks where more than one is present.
Effective stack height was computed using Briggs' (1969)
equations for plume rise and the reported stack height for each stack.
The heat content of exhaust gases was taken to be 15% of the thermal
fuel requirement computed for each source. The amount allocated to each
stack is analogous to the emission rate allocated to each stack.
In the case of the additional point sources discussed above, an available
estimate of the sulfur content of the coal used by each source was used to
convert S02 emission rates to heat emission rates by the following equation:
240 Q
He = 0.15
W)
3680N
where H = heat emission rate, therms/hr
-------
Q = S02 emission rate, Ib/hr
S = fuel sulfur content, percent
N = number of stacks
The numbers 240 and 3680 represent the therms per ton of coal and the
pounds of SOp emitted per ton of sulfur in burned fuel, respectively.
The number 0.15 is the fraction of coal heat content contained in the
exhaust gases.
-------
Section 3.0
METEOROLOGICAL DATA
The meteorological data for Chicago which are required for the
validation analysis include wind speed and direction, temperature,
clo.ud cover and types, cloud heights and ceiling, and the height of the
top of the mixing layer. Three types of data were utilized. These
include TAM (Telemetered Air Monitoring) Station wind data, Midway
Airport hourly airway observations and hourly estimates of the top of
the mixing layer.
An average wind speed and direction based on continuous
measurements over a 75-minute period centered on each hour was available
for each TAM site. The anemometer and wind vane height at these stations
was generally above building heights and varied from 40 feet to 180 feet;
the average height was 80 feet. A vector average of the observations
for each hour was used to determine the mean wind speed and direction
for the validation study.
The Midway Airport observations were used to get the outside
air temperature for making temperature dependent emission estimates and
for determining stability classifications by means of the Turner (1964)
classification scheme.
Argonne had obtained hourly estimates of the top of the mixing
layer using Midway surface temperatures and rural vertical temperature
profiles. The rural vertical temperature profile was constructed using
Green Bay and Peoria radiosonde data for 0600 and 1800 CST and the
-------
Argonne surface temperature. An interpolation between the two soundings
was made to fit the Argonne surface temperature if appropriate. Other-
wise, one sounding or the other was shifted to fit to the Argonne tem-
perature. Linear interpolations were made for hourly intervals between
the 12-hour observation periods. The mixing layer ceiling was < .
estimated by the intersection of the Midway potential temperature with
rural temperature profile.
-------
Section 4.0
S02 OBSERVATIONS
Mean hourly concentrations of S02 at each of eight TAM stations
were obtained on magnetic tape for the data period.
Concentrations measured by TAM station analyzers and averaged
over 24-hour periods were compared with 24-hour concentrations measured
by the West-Gaeke method (Booras and Zimmer 1968). The West-Gaeke
method averaged about 20% lower than the conductivity method. However.
as shown in the 2-hour versus 24-hour comparisons for St. Louis
(Appendix B), this could be due to the use of 24-hour samples in the
West-Gaeke method. The methods showed large deviations in both direc-
tions (either one high relative to the other). Interference from other
pollutants was clearly evident at certain locations (e.g., TAM
Station #3 in the Chicago Loop area) where the mean concentration
measured by conductivity was twice that measured by the West-Gaeke
method. As a result of this analysis and those reported by other
investigators (e.g., Shikiya and MacPhee 1969), it is seen that observed
concentrations for single steady-state periods may be in error by a
factor of two.

Appendix E
SAMPLES OF VALIDATION DATA LISTINGS
*
This appendix describes and presents samples of the punched
cards and computer printouts which were generated in the course of this
study and which were reviewed to determine results and findings. Since
the total set of all pages of computer printouts consists of several
thousand pages, only samples of each type of printout are reproduced
here.
Two input data records were formed for each hour of validation
data. These data records are stored on magnetic tape and may be loaded
into disk files for convenient retrieval. An example of the information
contained in each record is shown by Figures E-l and E-2. Figure E-l
lists meteorological parameters, time and date information, sampler
observations, and point source emission information which are available
in one hourly input record. A description of the computer printout iden-
tifications shown in the figure is given in Table E-l. Figure E-2 is
a map of hourly area source emission rates obtained from the second type
of hourly input record. These figures are samples of the computer print-
outs generated to review input data for each hour of validation data.
Figures E-3 and E-4 are samples of the map printed for each
short-term (two-hour for St. Louis, one-hour for Chicago) validation
period. The X's show the relation of sampler locations relative to one
another. The upper printed number by each X is the observed value, and
the lower printed number is the predicted value. Stars designate missing
values. The principal meteorological inputs are also shown.

Figure E-4. Sample Computer Generated Map Used to
Review Chicago Validation Results
-------
Figure E-5 is an example of the statistical summary of valida-
tion results for a single Chicago station (90 and 100 percent values of
the frequency distribution are not shown in this example although they
are included in complete computer printout). Similar summaries were
generated for each observing location and for all stations combined.
Summaries were generated for the entire validation period and for
selected subsets of the period, e.g., all hours for which the wind
speed had some specified range.
The validation results are also available on punched cards.
The format for the punched card data is listed in Table E-2.

Appendix F
SAMPLES OF SENSITIVITY DATA LISTINGS
This appendix describes and presents samples of the computer
printouts which were generated to permit review of the sensitivity
results. The total set of all printed results consists of several
hundred pages. Only samples of each type of printout are reproduced
here.
An output record was generated for each set of input values
considered in the sensitivity analysis. A listing of the concentrations
and input values for each of 5832 records was made in the format shown
in Figure F-l. A description of the computer printout identification
in Figure F-l is given in Table F-l. The sensitivity output records
were stored in disk files for subsequent statistical analysis and tabu-
lation of results.
One type of summary which was generated is illustrated in
Figure F-2. The mean concentration of all records with a given input
value was determined. The results in Figure F-2 are for the entire set
of sensitivity results. Similar summaries were generated from selected
subsets of the total set of results in order to evaluate special sensi-
tivity considerations.
Another type of listing which provides a convenient review of
model sensitivity results is illustrated in Figure F-3. This figure is
a partial listing of all comparisons of calculated concentrations in
which the only input changed is the mixing ceiling. Similar listings
were generated for all inputs considered in the sensitivity analysis.

A quick review of this type of printout easily identifies the combina-
tions of input values (if any) for which "sensitive" results are generated
with input parameter.
A specialized type of summary was generated to examine the
effects of changes in wind direction input. An example of this special-
ized printout is given in Figure F-4.
