... 31    Method Summary  Single independent  variable regression  similar to ARM2 but  based on airport‐specific  data.  Multivariable regression based  on airport‐specific data that  empirically accounts for both NO  oxidation and NO2 photolysis  through inclusion of atmospheric  parameters: T, O3, θ, and S.  Assumes the air masses are in  a photostationary state and  analytically determines the  NO2/NOX ratio.  User  Requirements/Data  Needs  User must choose the  diurnal category to use  the appropriate  regression equation.  User determines hourly  NOX concentration using  AERMOD.  User determines hourly NOX  concentration using AERMOD,  and specifies T, O3, θ, and S from  available meteorological and  other datasets.  User supplies T, O3, and θ from  available meteorological and  other datasets.  Based upon detailed regression assessments, the sets of regressed equations in Table 9 were selected for further evaluations involving time-paired comparisons of modeled and measured NO2/NOx values.   Table 9: Selected Equations for Comparisons of Modeled and Measured NO2/NOx Values  Method 1: Simple  Regression  Equation 1: Unconstrained regressed equation  NO2/NOx=1‐0.8*
