  1. Update on Asian Studies Related to Emissions and Modeling Gregory R. Carmichael Department of Chemical & Biochemical Engineering Center for Global & Regional Environmental Research and the University of Iowa

  2. Topics Reported • Recent advances in emissions estimates • Long-term sulfur deposition calculation • Update on model intercomparison study • Completed passive sampler pilot project

  3. The TRACE-P/Ace-Asia emission inventory shows the important sources of each type of air pollutant in Asia

  4. Seasonality of emissions of the different species has been studied for China Mainly evaporation- related species Mainly combustion- related species

  5. This is an example of TRACE-P SO2 emissions at 30 sec. resolution for the Pearl River Delta Boxed area ~ 150 km x 150 km Guangzhou Zhongshan Shenzhen Macau/Zhuhai Hong Kong 30 sec = ~ 0.7 km

  6. Biomass burning treatment combines country survey data with AVHRR analysis to give long-term average or “typical” burning amounts

  7. Comparison of country surveys with various AVHRR fire-count adjustments reveals problem areas for further investigation Xinjiang Mongolia fire count > country surveys India fire count < country surveys Vietnam Indonesia It remains difficult to make the link between satellite observations of fire and atmospheric emissions

  8. The Importance of Fossil, Biofuels and Open Burning Varies by Region

  9. Uncertainty analysis has revealed wide differencesin our knowledge of the emissions of particularspecies in particular parts of Asia …

  10. Distribution of Percent Primary Non-carbonaceous PM2.5 Emissions --How to distinguish from dust?

  11. Pink – DUST; Brown-Blue BC

  12. E90 E120 E150 Rishiri Tarukawa Sado Harbin Beijing Tsukuba Hachijo N30 Qingdao Shanghai Ogasawara Nagasaki & Fukue Okinawa Fukuoka Amami E.Q.

  13. We have analyzed sulfur deposition in Asia over last 25 yrs SULFUR EMISSIONS IN ASIA ARE CHANGING, REGION BY REGION, IN DIFFERENT WAYS

  14. Uncertainty in the Source-Receptor Relationships Interannual Variability (10-yrs)

  15. Effect of Interannual Meteorological Variability on Sulfur Deposition can be Much Larger than Changes in Emissions! Is there climate feedback link?

  16. How Robust Are The Source-Receptor Relationships? • Need to assess inter-model variability. • The MICS-ASIA Study: Model InterComparison • of Long-Range Transport and Sulfur Deposition in • EastAsia Many different models with important similarities and differences:Lagrangian, Eulerian, Hybrid, etc.

  18. Uncertainty in the Source-Receptor Relationships Inter-model Variability

  19. Passive Sampler Network – one way to increase coverage and participation

  20. SO2 Results – Annual Averages

  25. On-going Activities • Continued needs to improve emission estimates • Follow-on activities related to model inter-comparison • Interest in expanding base-line measurements – e.g., ABC study • Closer linkages between urban/regional/global scales and health,air quality, climate communities • WMO-GURME

  26. Analysis Framework Climate : Air Quality

  27. Urban Environments are Key Drivers of Change

  28. Percentage contribution to total sulfur deposition due to SO2 emissions from megacities and major urban centers in Asia, averaged over the period of 1975-2000

  29. Estimated Source-Receptor Relations for Nitrate

  30. Propane data from Blake et al.

  31. Biomass burning treatment combines country survey data with AVHRR analysis to give long-term average or “typical” burning amounts Original two-year daily fire count data for 1999-2000

  32. Nitrate Deposition is of Growing Importance % of Total Deposition as Nitrate

  33. Speciation of NMVOC reveals great differencesamong countries with different levels ofeconomic development

  34. Comparison with monitoring data for the 11-20 January period.

  35. … and converted them into appropriate profiles for China for the three different emission layers (both January and July)

  36. Transboundary Pollution Issues are of Growing Importance S-Deposition RAINS-Asia –Carmichael et al., (2001)

  37. Transboundary Pollution Issues are of Growing Importance S-Deposition RAINS-Asia –Carmichael et al., (2001)

  38. The Emissions Vary Greatly by Region – Reflecting Many Social/Economic Factors
