In this study, we report on the results from a comprehensive model simulation of regional ozone (O 3 ) throughout a season in the eastern United States. The model is shown to perform better in terms of simulating seasonal, rather than episodic, characteristics of the regional surface O 3 distribution. This finding suggests that it may be more appropriate to use models of this type to assess seasonal O 3 patterns rather than following the current paradigm of developing regional control strategies based on event‐specific simulations.
