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
Topics Reported • Recent advances in emissions estimates • Long-term sulfur deposition calculation • Update on model intercomparison study • Completed passive sampler pilot project
The TRACE-P/Ace-Asia emission inventory shows the important sources of each type of air pollutant in Asia
Seasonality of emissions of the different species has been studied for China Mainly evaporation- related species Mainly combustion- related species
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
Biomass burning treatment combines country survey data with AVHRR analysis to give long-term average or “typical” burning amounts
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
The Importance of Fossil, Biofuels and Open Burning Varies by Region
Uncertainty analysis has revealed wide differencesin our knowledge of the emissions of particularspecies in particular parts of Asia …

We have analyzed sulfur deposition in Asia over last 25 yrs SULFUR EMISSIONS IN ASIA ARE CHANGING, REGION BY REGION, IN DIFFERENT WAYS
Uncertainty in the Source-Receptor Relationships Interannual Variability (10-yrs)
Effect of Interannual Meteorological Variability on Sulfur Deposition can be Much Larger than Changes in Emissions! Is there climate feedback link?
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.
