Table 1.

Means and standard deviations over a six-year period of different exposure metrics calculated from simulated monitor data central monitor (CM), unweighted average (UA), population-weighted average (PWA), and area-weighted average (AWA) and of the true population-weighted average (TPWA) calculated from the simulated true ambient concentration field. Standard deviations for results of 10 independent sets of CO simulations are shown.
