Abstract
The chemistry of ground level atmospheric ozone formation is highly complex and nonlinear and has many uncertainties. As a result no chemical model can be relied upon to give accurate predictions unless it has been evaluated by comparison with experimental data. There are essentially two ways in which a photochemical oxidant model can be evaluated. One compares the predictions of the complete model against field data taken during a historic ozone pollution episode. Another approach relies on the evaluation of individual pollutant compounds, separately. In the case of gas-phase chemical mechanisms, this means evaluating the predictions of the mechanism against results of environmental chamber experiments (Carter et al., 1995a).
