sensitivity tests. The “B” series (EXP4B, EXP5B, EXP6B <strong>and</strong> EXP3B) <strong>and</strong> 4KM_MMIF have <strong>the</strong><br />

highest FMS values between 25% <strong>and</strong> 30% with 36KM_MMIF <strong>and</strong> 80KM_MMIF have <strong>the</strong> lowest<br />

FMS scores between 10% <strong>and</strong> 15%. Again <strong>the</strong> “B” series <strong>of</strong> <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/MMIF sensitivity tests<br />

have <strong>the</strong> best FAR scores with <strong>the</strong> worst scores given by <strong>the</strong> 12KM, 36KM <strong>and</strong> 80KM MMIF<br />

sensitivity tests. The “D” series using no met observations has <strong>the</strong> worst (highest) FAR scores <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>CALPUFF</strong>/CALMET sensitivity tests. EXP3B has <strong>the</strong> best POD value follows by EXP4B with<br />

EXP5B, EXP5D, EXP6B <strong>and</strong> 4KM_MMIF ties for third best; <strong>the</strong> 12KM, 36KM <strong>and</strong> 80KM MMIF<br />

<strong>CALPUFF</strong>s have <strong>the</strong> worst FAR scores. Similar results are seen with <strong>the</strong> TS statistics with <strong>the</strong><br />

four top performing sensitivity tests ordered by EXP4B, EXP5B, EXP6B <strong>and</strong> 4KM_MMIF,<br />

Figure 5‐16. Spatial model performance statistics for <strong>the</strong> CTEX5 CALPUF sensitivity tests using<br />

different MM4/MM5 grid resolutions.<br />

Although EXP5D has <strong>the</strong> lowest error, <strong>the</strong> “B” series <strong>of</strong> sensitivity tests consistency have <strong>the</strong><br />

lowest bias <strong>and</strong> error (Figure 5‐17). The 12KM_MMIF has <strong>the</strong> highest bias <strong>and</strong> error followed<br />

by <strong>the</strong> 80KM_MMIF sensitivity test. The “D” series <strong>of</strong> sensitivity tests have <strong>the</strong> best (lowest) KS<br />

parameter at ~30% with <strong>the</strong> “B” series <strong>of</strong> tests have <strong>the</strong> worst (highest) KSP at ~50% with <strong>the</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>r sensitivity test in between.<br />
