Overview Model Evaluation (from Overview Model Evaluation (from Hogrefe et al., Atmos. Env., 2004)Hogrefe et al., Atmos. Env., 2004) The GCM/MM5/CMAQ system captures synoptic-
scale and interannual variability of summertime temperatures and ozone in the current climate
Patterns of observed and predicted summertime average daily maximum ozone concentrations showed a correlation of 0.68, a bias less than 1 ppb and a mean gross error of 6 ppb
Good agreement for the medium and high end between observed and predicted space-time cumulative distribution functions
Good representation of the frequency and duration of extreme ozone events.

SummarySummary CMAQ predicts an increase in average and extreme ozone
concentrations for future decades as a result of climate change alone for two greenhouse gas scenarios
Changes in regional climate outweigh the effects of increased boundary conditions and increased anthropogenic emissions over the greater New York City metropolitan area when changes in the 4th-highest summertime daily maximum 8-hr O3 concentration are considered
For the two selected episodes, projected land use change can have local impacts of comparable magnitude as the other factors considered in this study
