  abstract = {<p>This review evaluates analyses that are or may be performed to estimate<br />uncertainties associated with air quality modeling used in regulatory planning<br />to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone. The sources of uncertainties<br />in photochemical air quality simulation models (PAQSMs) are described.<br />Regulatory requirements for evaluating PAQSM performance and uncertainty concerns<br />not addressed through standard performance evaluations are discussed. Available<br />techniques for evaluating uncertainties are presented. Experiences with analyses<br />conducted most commonly are reviewed, as are those that might be used in a cohesive<br />model uncertainty evaluation. The review concludes with a call for renewed<br />emphasis on applying current techniques complemented by heretofore sparsely used<br />diagnostic, corroborative, and alternative approaches and enhanced observational<br />databases.</p>},
