BART CALPUFF Modeling Sup

• The RMC will process MM5 data for use in 

CALMET/CALPUFF to support WRAP BART afor 7 States (AZ, AK, MT, NM, NV, SD and UT

• We will select 4 windows from the MM5 domain 

processing MM5 data in Contiguous U.S.

• 36 km MM5 data will be processed for 2001, 200

2003 and the 4 window domains.

• 15 km MM5 data will be processed for 2002 and • CALMET/CALPUFF BART screening exemptio

modeling will be conducted for AZ, AK, NM, MSD and UT

• MT have provided RMC with CALMET/CALPU

options, emissions for BART-eligible sources, annecessary input files (surf.dat, geo.dat, & calpuff
