1. CALPOST and POSTUTIL CALPOST processes CALPUFF outputs
Summarizes concentrations
Computes visibility measures
POSTUTIL also processes CALPUFF outputs
Multiple simulations, deposition fluxes, etc.
Chemistry of nitric acid/nitrate aerosols (ammonia limiting effects)
2. Key Decisions Visibility calculation method
Species to consider
Speciation of PM-10
Natural background light extinction
Rayleigh scattering value
Light extinction efficiencies
Inclusion of sea salt
Use of ammonia limiting method
3. Visibility Calculation Method Screening (12 km)
Method 6 w/EPA(2003) Class I-specific monthly RH values
Refined (<= 4 km)
Method 6 as above
