<strong>the</strong> “D” series <strong>of</strong> <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET sensitivity tests with <strong>the</strong> 36KM_MMIF exhibiting <strong>the</strong> lowest<br />

bias <strong>and</strong> error statistics; 12KM_MMIF has <strong>the</strong> second lowest FB <strong>and</strong> third lowest NMSE. For <strong>the</strong><br />

within a factor <strong>of</strong> 2 <strong>and</strong> 5 statistics <strong>the</strong> “D” series performs better than <strong>the</strong> “B” series <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET sensitivity tests. The 12KM_MMIF has by far <strong>the</strong> lowest FA2 metric but has a<br />

FA5 metric that is comparable to <strong>the</strong> “D” series <strong>of</strong> <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET sensitivity tests. By far <strong>the</strong><br />

best performing model configuration for <strong>the</strong> FA5 metric is 36KM_MMIF whose value (15%) is<br />

almost double <strong>the</strong> next best performing <strong>CALPUFF</strong> model configurations (7% to 9%). The<br />

36KM_MMIF (0.43) followed closely by <strong>the</strong> 12KM_MMIF (0.40) are by far <strong>the</strong> best performing<br />

sensitivity tests according to <strong>the</strong> correlation coefficient statistical metric with <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET tracer estimates showing a small negative correlation with <strong>the</strong> observations<br />

(‐0.07 to ‐0.08). According to <strong>the</strong> composite RANK statistic, 36KM_MMIF (1.61) is <strong>the</strong> best<br />

performing <strong>CALPUFF</strong> sensitivity test <strong>of</strong> this group followed by 12KM_MMIF (1.43). The<br />

<strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET RANK statistics range from 1.16 to 1.32 with <strong>the</strong> “D” series typically<br />

performing better (~1.3) than <strong>the</strong> “B” series (~1.2) with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> EXP1B (1.3).<br />
