abstract = "BRAMS model carbon monoxide (CO) operational forecasting for 24h,
48h and 72h forecast lengths were evaluated using measurements
from Osasco and Congonhas monitoring stations of the State
Environmental Company (CETESB). The studied period ranges from May
2012 to December 2015. Annual averages, diurnal and monthly annual
mean cycles were analysed, and results show that CO concentrations
have been decreasing over time, which was not reproduced by the
BRAMS model forecasting. All forecasting lengths represent the
diurnal cycle properly, showing the two concentration peaks of the
rush hours as in observed data. It is possible to conclude that CO
forecasting by the BRAMS model is reliable enough to be
potentially used as a tool to aid population and policymakers on
air quality public policies. More research including other
localities and pollutants are still necessary for a better
evaluation of the BRAMS model.",
