Summary Comparison between CMAQ and CMAQ-UCD at urban sites shows that gas and particle phases were close to equilibrium during CRPAQS. CMAQ model is competent for SIP simulations but phase-equilibrium may not hold in future less- polluted scenarios. Comparing sectional and modal approaches at rural sites poses challenges. CMAQ-UCD predicted less NO 3 and NH 4 on Dec 25, Jan 2 and Jan 3. N 2 O 5 ?
