  7. 3. Input of SMOKE and Modules in CMAQ • Input of SMOKE • Emissions inventory developed by GA Tech for the state of Georgia and 1999 National emissions inventory for other states • EGAS 4.0 growth factors and existing control strategy to project the 1999 emissions to 2001 and 2002 emissions • Modules in CMAQ • Chemical mechanism: SAPRC-99 • Chemistry solver: modified Euler backward iterative (MEBI) method • Cloud: the regional acid deposition model (RADM) • Aerosol dynamics: AERO3 • Deposition velocities of aerosols: AERO_DEPV2 • Horizontal and vertical advection: piecewise parabolic method (PPM) • Minimum vertical eddy coefficient: 0.3 m2/sec.

  9. 4. CMAQ 4.2.2 vs. 4.3 (daily PM 2.5, July 2001) OBS x 2 OBS x 0.5 Sulfate Nitrate Ammonium Elemental Carbon Organic Carbon PM 2.5 • 36 km (version 4.2.2)• 36 km (version 4.3) • 12 km (version 4.2.2)• 12 km (version 4.3) Sensitivity of PM 2.5 species to Emissions in the Southeast

  10. 4. CMAQ 4.2.2 vs. 4.3 (daily PM 2.5, January 2002) OBS x 2 OBS x 0.5 Sulfate Nitrate Ammonium Elemental Carbon Organic Carbon PM 2.5 • 36 km (version 4.2.2)• 36 km (version 4.3) • 12 km (version 4.2.2)• 12 km (version 4.3) Sensitivity of PM 2.5 species to Emissions in the Southeast

  12. 4. CMAQ 4.2.2 vs. 4.3 (hourly gas phase species, July 2001) • Performance of CMAQ for PM 2.5 species • Sulfate: overestimated in July 2001 good in January 2002 • Nitrate: overestimated • Ammonium: good • Elemental Carbon: overestimated • Organic carbon: from version 4.2.2 to 4.3, the performance is improved markedly after the secondary organic aerosol algorithm has been modified to make the gas-particle partitioning of semi-volatiles reversible • PM 2.5: overestimated mainly due to the overestimation of the crustal elements (primary PM 2.5) Sensitivity of PM 2.5 species to Emissions in the Southeast

  21. 5. Sensitivity of PM 2.5 to Emissions • The sensitivity of PM 2.5 to a 20% reduction of NH3: high in January 2002 SO2: high in July 2001 NH3 and SO2: high in both January 2002 and July 2001 Sensitivity of PM 2.5 species to Emissions in the Southeast

  22. 6. Summary • CMAQ 4.3 improved markedly in simulation of organic carbon concentration. However, model still overestimates primary PM 2.5 species. • When SO2is reduced, sulfate concentrations decreased, but nitrate concentrations increased. Thus, only SO2 reduction was not efficient way to reduce the PM 2.5 in winter time, when the nitrate concentrations are relatively high. • When NH3 is reduced, nitrate and ammonium decreased, but sulfate concentrations did not change much. Thus, NH3 reduction did not decrease PM 2.5 in summer time, when the sulfate concentrations are relatively high. • When NH3 and SO2 are both reduced, nitrate, sulfate and ammonium concentrations decreased significantly both summer and winter. • Future research will include the sensitivity of emissions for different geographic locations.
