Monthly Mean O3 OH March 1994 March 1994 Results are not good. Why?
Daily Mean OH (January 1, 1994) Continuous Run Restart Run
Daily Mean OH (January 2, 1994) Continuous Run Restart Run Restart Make Difference. Why? Restart Family not Species!
Daily Mean O3 (January 1, 1994) Continuous Run Restart Run
Daily Mean O3 (January 2, 1994) Continuous Run Restart Run
Comments • It would be more reasonable to restart for species rather than for families. Hope GAMAP can be modified accordingly. • Make continuous run of the model if sufficient computational resource is available.
