Difference field showing industrial plume contribution to daily maximum 1-hr O3 concentration for 24-27 June 2001
Horizontal particle distribution 43 hours after the SO2 release simulated by the model HYSPLIT (left) and FLEXPART (right). The colour code gives the heights of the particles in metres
Spectrum of Models Part 1 Example of ozone generation for industrial plumes Complex NAME Simple enclosing curves
Ozone formed in NOx plume (1500 mid afternoon) constant wind direction and speed travel time in hours point source • Background: 20 ppb O3 and 50 ppb VOC • O3 maximum reached 106 ppb in domain.
Scatter plot of hourly NO2 vs hourly NOx. hourly values with selected point sources. The background [O3] used for the enclosing curves was based on model results with all point sources removed. NAME III enclosing curves, Models-3 and empirical curve comparisons
Spectrum of Models Part 2 Regional ozone Complex CMAQ EMEP Eulerian IDOP EMEP Lagrangian
Ozone from: A - Didcot A power station and B - Kingsnorth power station. Ozone creation downwind of A during daytime, while ozone depletion is dominant downwind of B. The background concentration of VOCs downwind of A is much higher than that downwind of source B.
The 24-h averaged O3 excess (left) and the daily maximum 1-hr ozone excess (right) on every simulation day for the June 2001 episode. The black dot is the location of the VOC source for IDOP comparison
