Flexibility of DDM • Sensitivity of all concentrations to: • Emissions, initial conditions, or boundary conditions… • …of any one or more species… • …from any location… • …at any time… • …from any category of emissions. • e.g., sensitivity to non-road emissions of NO and NO2 in Fulton County between 2pm-6pm
Sensitivities computed so far… • August 11-20, 2000, 2007 projection: • Atlanta MSA • Point, Mobile, Area+Non-road NOx • Total VOC • 2nd order to total NOx and total VOC • Macon MSA • Mobile, non-mobile NOx • Branch & Scherer NOx (1st and 2nd order) • Total VOC • 2nd order to total NOx and total VOC • Augusta MSA • Mobile, point, area+non-road NOx • Total VOC • 2nd order to total NOx and total VOC • Columbus MSA NOx
DDM Statistical Agreement: r2 of DDM vs. Brute Force (+/- 10% NOx)
