Summary

Introduction

One of the most important components in the AQS models is the chemical mechanisms that describe the formation of O3 from VOCs and NOx. The chemical mechanisms used in the WRF-chem include CBMZ, CBM4, RACM, and RADM2. All the chemical mechanisms mentioned above are condensed mechanisms, which use parameterizations to describe the general features of O3 formation, and their sensitivity to emission controls.
