LMOS  

Definition

  • The Lake Michigan Ozone Study (LMOS) is a multi-year cooperative interstate and federal effort that is seeking a regional solution to the ozone nonattainment problem in the Lake Michigan area, which includes portions of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A key objective of LMOS is to provide the Lake Michigan States with a technically credible photochemical modeling system that can be used in developing a regional emissions control strategy. Initial efforts involved the conduct of a field program during the summer of 1991, analyses of the data collected in the field study, the development of gridded, day-specific emissions estimates for four ozone episodes, application of a prognostic model to provide meteorological inputs, adaptation of the Urban Airshed Model (UAM-V) to the study area, evaluation of model performance, and the conduct of model sensitivity studies. The EPA has approved usage of the LMOS modeling system for developing revisions to the SIPs for the fo! ur Lake Michigan States. The Lake Michigan Ozone Control Program (LMOP) is also a cooperative interstate and federal effort that represents the regulatory continuation of LMOS. The initial goal of LMOP was to develop an effective regional control strategy that will provide for attainment of the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) by the statuatory dates, and to submit individual State Implementation Plans that reflect this regional strategy. The long-term goal is to provide a mechanism for the Lake Michigan States to work together to ensure successful implementation of the regional strategy, and if appropriate, revision of the regional strategy, to achieve attainment (and maintenance) of the NAAQS.
