Short summary
In this paper, we applied an air quality modeling system called RAMS-CMAQ coupled with the ISAM module to investigate the regional contributions of O3 among major regions of the NCP and to quantify the relative amount of O3 originating from specific VOC and NOx emissions sources. The modeling system allows us to capture valuable information regarding how to choose the correct sequence and efficient combinations by exploring the key thresholds from the bulk of sensitivity tests.
