Figure 5‐9b. Global model performance statistics for <strong>the</strong> CTEX3 <strong>CALPUFF</strong> sensitivity tests<br />

using different MM4/MM5 grid resolutions (high scores indicate better model performance).<br />

5.4.1.5 Rankings <strong>of</strong> CTEX3 <strong>CALPUFF</strong> Sensitivity Tests using <strong>the</strong> RANK Statistic<br />

The ranking <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CTEX3 <strong>CALPUFF</strong> sensitivity tests using <strong>the</strong> composite RANK model<br />

performance statistics is given in Table 5‐9. The 36KM_MMIF (1.61) is <strong>the</strong> highest ranked<br />

<strong>CALPUFF</strong> sensitivity test using RANK followed by 12KM_MMIF (1.43) which is very close to<br />

EXP3A <strong>and</strong> EXP4A that are tied for third with a RANK value <strong>of</strong> 1.40. It is interesting to note that<br />

<strong>the</strong> EXP3A <strong>and</strong> EXP4A <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET sensitivity test that uses <strong>the</strong>, respectively, 36 km <strong>and</strong><br />

12 km MM5 data with 12 km CALMET grid resolution <strong>and</strong> RMAX1/RMAX2 values <strong>of</strong> 500/1000 is<br />

tied for third best performing <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET configuration using <strong>the</strong> RANK statistic, but <strong>the</strong><br />

same model configuration with alternative RMAX1/RMAX2 values <strong>of</strong> 10/100 (EXP3C <strong>and</strong> EXP4C)<br />

degrades <strong>the</strong> model performance to <strong>the</strong> worst performing <strong>CALPUFF</strong> configuration according to<br />

<strong>the</strong> RANK statistics with a RANK value <strong>of</strong> 1.12.<br />

Based on <strong>the</strong> RANK statistic <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>CALPUFF</strong> sensitivity test rankings in Table 5‐9 we conclude<br />

<strong>the</strong> following for <strong>the</strong> CTEX3 <strong>CALPUFF</strong> sensitivity tests:<br />

• The <strong>CALPUFF</strong> MMIF sensitivity tests are <strong>the</strong> best performing configuration for <strong>the</strong> CTEX3<br />

experiments.<br />

• The <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET “B” series (RMAX1/RMAX2 = 100/200) appears to be <strong>the</strong> worst<br />

performing configuration for RMAX1/RMAX2.<br />

• The CALMET/<strong>CALPUFF</strong> “A” series seems to be <strong>the</strong> best performing RMAX1/RMAX2 setting<br />

(500/1000) followed by <strong>the</strong> “C” series (10/100) <strong>the</strong>n “D” series (no met observations).<br />

• Ignoring <strong>the</strong> “B” series <strong>of</strong> sensitivity tests, <strong>the</strong> <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET sensitivity tests that use<br />

higher MM5 grid resolution (36 <strong>and</strong> 12 km) tend to produce better model performance<br />

than those that used <strong>the</strong> 80 km MM4 data.<br />
