A review of the development and application of the urban airshed model

Abstract This paper describes the Urban Airshed Model (UAM) and provides an overview of the history of the model's conception and development, a list of the applications to date, a summary of the model's technical formulation and a description of model inputs and outputs. The Urban Airshed Model is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) preferred tool for developing ozone air quality plans for urban areas.
