The PCC values for th he six LRT models<br />

are shhown<br />

in Figure<br />

C‐26. All models but HYSPLIT havve<br />

positive ccorrelation<br />

coefficients. c The two beest<br />

models aaccording<br />

to <strong>the</strong> PCC stattistical<br />

metrric<br />

are CAMx<br />

(0.63) <strong>and</strong> SCIPUFF (0. .56). The miiddle<br />

group <strong>of</strong> models coonsists<br />

<strong>of</strong> CAALPUFF<br />

(0.4) ),<br />

CALGRIDD<br />

(0.23), <strong>and</strong> FLEXPART (00.19).<br />

The mmodel<br />

with t<strong>the</strong><br />

least correlation<br />

withh<br />

<strong>the</strong><br />

observations<br />

is HYSP PLTI (‐0.1), inndicating<br />

a wweak<br />

negativve<br />

All sixx<br />

models exhhibit<br />
