Impacts of transported background pollutants on summertime western US air quality: model evaluation, sensitivity analysis and data assimilation

The impacts of transported background (TBG) pollutants on western US ozone (O<sub>3</sub>) distributions in summer 2008 are studied using the multi-scale Sulfur Transport and dEposition Modeling system. Forward sensitivity simulations show that TBG contributes ~30–35 ppb...
