Mobile phase in the environmental context typically refers to a component of chromatographic techniques used in environmental analysis. It is a liquid or gas that carries the sample through a stationary phase during the chromatography process, allowing for the separation of different substances within an environmental sample.

A mobile source is any motorized vehicle is a mobile source of air pollution.

A Model is a representation of a system, such as a watershed, by something other than the system itself, e.g., a schematic or a mathematical interpretation. See computer model; conceptual model.

A MODEL BUILDING CODES is the building codes published by the 4 Model Code Organizations and commonly adopted by state or other jurisdictions to control local construction activity.

The Model Calibration is the process of refining or adjusting the parameters (framework, properties, and boundary conditions) to achieve a desired degree of correspondence between the mathematical simulations and observations of the system and its processes.

A MODEL CODE ORGANIZATIONS is Includes the following agencies and the MODEL BUILDING CODES they promulgate:

A Model year is Refers to the "sales" Model year; for example,

A modeling is "Development of a mathematical or physical representation of a system or theory that accounts for all or some of its known properties. Models are often used to test the
