Purpose

Science and Technical Support Group

Responsible for preparing an assessment of the current state of the art with respect to emission inventories, air quality models, meteorological models, and analysis of air quality monitoring data. These efforts should be coordinated with the ongoing work of such groups as OTAG, Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission, Southern Appalachain Mountains Initiative, as well as NARSTO. This assessment is anticipated to be a short- term effort to provide baseline information to the other work groups. In the longer term, this work group will provide scientific and technical support to the other work groups as requested.
