Today’s review is about a computer simulator from California showing ozone levels over a day as a function of population, temperature, amount of cars and trucks, industry etc.
Key Quotes:
“an interactive air pollution simulator that shows how your choices, environmental factors, and land use contribute to air pollution”
“Ozone levels depicted in Smog City are estimated by simulating the air quality over Sacramento, California using a computerized model of the region”
“As each hour of the day passes, emissions from human activities, such as industry, cars, and trucks, and from natural sources like trees and plants, are injected into Smog City's atmosphere.”
“Because Smog City's relationships are based on a simplified model of complex atmospheric processes in Sacramento, California, there is no guarantee that they are scientifically accurate for this or other regions.”
