TOTAL 180

** Only the data from PA were considered
Statistical evaluation of the May 15 - September 29, 2002 BaseB1 CMAQ simulation across the OTR

 (including all of VA)

Daily maximum 8-hour O3 at SLAMS/NAMS (180 sites) that are within a non-attainment county

Daily averages computed from hourly data, require at least 16 valid hours per day

 (unless the daily max concentration was at least 85 ppb)

July 6-9 data were excluded because of the influence of the Quebec forest fires

Only those predictions from hours with valid observed concentrations were included here

Statistics were generated using two minimum thresholds of observed daily max O3 - 40 & 60 ppb

Statistics:

observed average

predicted average

coefficient of determination, R2

normalized mean error

root mean square error

fractional gross error

mean absolute gross error

mean normalized gross error

mean bias

mean normalized bias

mean fractionalized bias
