- Model Information
- For more information about this model, go to www.epa.gov
- Spatial Resolution
- Spatial resolution is based on how model segments are defined. Mass balances are taken at each time step around the defined geometric segment.
- Temporal Resolution
- The temporal resolution ranges from steady state to hourly durations. The time step can be internally calculated or set by the user.
- Outputs
