Modeling
RAMS/IMADA-AVER Model
The Regional Atmsopheric Modeling System (RAMS, Pielke et al.
1992) was used to simulate the spatial and temporal evolution of tracer
particles emitted in Mexico City during the IMADA/AVER field campaign
in February and March 1997. Particles are released for 12-hrs (0-12 GMT
and 12-24 GMT, corresponding to 18-6 LT and 6-18 LT), but tracked for
the entier RAMS forecast period (42 hrs).
