CALPUFF is also recommended for regulatory use by the Interagency Workgroup of Air Quality Modeling (IWAQM) in their Phase 2 report (EPA, 1998) and the Federal Land Managers Air Quality Related Values Workgroup (FLAG, 2000). This Final Report contains the primary results of the model development program in terms of describing the modeling system, providing the formulation for new or revised elements of the model, describing model evaluation procedures and results, presenting the content of the MMS Standard Dataset for modeling in the Gulf of Mexico region, and providing detailed documentation and users instructions for the entire CALPUFF modeling system. It is comprised of three volumes: Volume 1 • Technical description of those elements of CALMET and CALPUFF that are either new or revised • Model evaluation procedures and results • Description of the Standard Dataset for modeling in the Gulf of Mexico region • Documentation for the gridded sea surface temperature dataset for mesoscale modeling over the Gulf of Mexico Volume 2 (System Documentation) • Geophysical Processors TERREL Terrain Preprocessor Land Use Data Preprocessors (CTGCOMP and CTGPROC) MAKEGEO • Meteorological Data Preprocessors READ62 Upper Air Preprocessor PXTRACT Precipitation Data Extraction Program PMERGE Precipitation Data Preprocessor SMERGE Surface Meteorological Data Preprocessor BUOY Over-Water Meteorological Data Preprocessor Final Report Vol.1 2
