Climatological variability in modeled maximum concentrations
Abstract A 17-year data base consisting of estimated concentrations of the high and high second-high are analyzed for their year to year variability. This paper addresses the issue of the uncertainty in maximum concentration estimates as a function of period of record. Resampling techniques are utilized to estimate the ratios of the annual high and high second-high concentrations to the high and high second-high's from the 17-year record. This analysis suggest that if one year of data were used to estimate the high second-high concentration, the climatological highest high second-high would be 15–18 % higher depending on source type. It is the major intent of this paper to stimulate interest and research and to suggest that if less than five years of meteorological data are collected then some sort of correction may need to be applied to the high second-high concentration estimate.
