... 49 Proposed Regions Overview This section details the characteristics of the metropolitan areas and data sets that the L33 team has identified as suitable for use in the model validation and/or enhancement stages of this project. The L33 team has identified 10 metropolitan areas from which to acquire data for validation and enhancement purposes.
