Synopsis

The proceedings of the late 1993 conference comprise papers on topics in integrated regional modeling, global and long-range transport, new modeling developments, accidental releases, and model assessment and verification. In addition, there are two special sessions: Athenian photochemical smog intercomparison of simulation (APSIS), and air polluti
