Summary

An efficient method for simulating and assessing regional-scale visual impairment is described. The method applies Monte Carlo methods to generate realistic within-season distributions of visual impairment and requires input only of distributional statistics from particle monitoring data, relative humidity climatology, and seasonal mean concentrations predicted with a regional transport model for the various emission scenarios examined. Simulated distributions of visual impairment for a representative rural site in the eastern US are demonstrated to compare favorably with observations.
