Model Simulations Of Ozone Formation Over Israel, The West Bank And Jordan. Project objectives: • To study, over time, the transport of polluted air masses and the chemical reactions occurring within: • To quantify the effects of the different emission sources on the ozone peak in the study area
Model Simulations Of Ozone Formation Over Israel, The West Bank And Jordan. Lecture Structure: • Emission Inventory for Israel • Weather Conditions at Study Area • RAMS • CAMx • Model results versus measurements • Various emission scenarios • Conclusions • Acknowledgments
Emission Inventory for Israel 1997- 8 • Large Stationary (point) sources • Medium Stationary (point) sources • Small Stationary (area) sources • Solvents (area) sources • Biogenic Stationary (area) sources • Mobile (area) sources, both ground based and aerial
LARGE STATIONARY (POINT) SOURCES These sources account for over 58% of total fuel consumption.
MEDIUM STATIONARY (POINT) SOURCES • Plants which Monitor Emissions 100 plants in this category • Plants which report Fuel Consumption Approx 400 plants in this category • These sources account for over 6.6% of total fuel consumption.
SMALL STATIONARY (AREA) SOURCES • These sources account for 12.2% of total fuel consumption.
Solvents • Road asphalt VOC. • Solvents in urban and industrial areas: paint, aerosol products, household products, adhesives (industrial and non industrial), moth control, space deodorant - distributed by population density.
Vegetation • Biogenic sources which emit the pollutants Isoprene and Monoterpene (VOC estimated according to Winer et al 1992; Benjamin et al 1996, 1997, 1998).
MOBILE (AREA) SOURCES • The emissions from mobile sources were derived from EMME/2 transportation model. • This model utilizes an emission-vehicle speed curve, derived from measurements taken in tunnels • Jerusalem (Yavin, 1998) • Haifa (Tratakovsky, 1997) • Fort Mc-Henry (Pierson, 1996)
Weather Conditions at Study Area • The episodes of elevated ozone concentration were found to fall into the “shallow Persian trough “ synoptic category. • Such synoptic episodes occur mainly at the beginning of summer but can occasionally appear at the middle or the end of summer. • This synoptic pattern features stagnation conditions that evolve as a result of weak pressure gradient winds. • A shallow mixed layer capped by subsiding warm and dry air causes a poorly ventilated mixed layer.
RAMS Aspects • RAMS 3bv • Non hydrostatic mesoscale mode. • 3 nested grids. • The simulations were initialized and updated every 6h with European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) data fields. • Topography was obtained from the GTOPO30 project, horizontal grid spacing of 30 seconds (approx 1 km2) and with local land-use and DTM (25X25 m2) for the second and third grids. • The meteorological fields produced by RAMS were used as input to drive CAMx.
