  1. Performance of CMAQ forInorganic Aerosol Compounds in Greater Tokyo Hiroshi HAYAMI Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry and Tatsuya SAKURAI Tokyo University of Science

  3. Aerosol pollution in G.Tokyo • PM mass averages • SPM* by beta gauge ~ 40 µg m-3 • >40 % stations violated the standard in the 1990s • PM2.5 by TEOM ~ 25-30 µg m-3 > US std. • high in early summer and early winter • Composition of SPM • carbon(EC/OC) ~ 30 % • inorganic species ~ 30 % *SPM: PM with 100% cut at 10 µm ~ PM7

  4. Our studies with CMAQ for G.T. • budget of ammonia • long-term (one year) • episodes of inorganic aerosols • 2 to 3 days in summer and winter presented by Sakurai in poster session presented from now

  5. Study Domains for SIA in G.T. no interaction two-way initial and boundary conditions

  6. Model Options & Configurations • MM5 V3.6-1 • 35 layers; ~25 m in the lowest layer • FDDA with JMA’s RANAL (20km, 12hrs.) • Grell, MRF, simple ice, multi-layer soil • CMAQ 4.2.2 (MCIP 2.1) • 16 layers; identical to MM5 in PBL • CB4-AE3-AQ solved with MEBI • CMAQ dry and RADM-cloud wet dep. • ACESS for E.Asia and NIES/JCAP for GT

  7. Emission inventory (NIES/JCAP) SOx [ton day-1] NOx [ton day-1] condensed dust [ton day-1]

  8. CMAQ vs. field campaigns

  9. F Y obs. CMAQ obs. CMAQ Winter: at Fukaya Gas Aerosol (FP) NO3- [µg m-3] NO2 [ppb] SO2 [ppb] SO42- [µg m-3] O3 [ppb] NH4+ [µg m-3] Dec. 9 Dec. 10 Dec. 9 Dec. 10

  10. F Y obs. CMAQ obs. CMAQ Winter: at Yokosuka Gas Aerosol (FP) NO3- [µg m-3] NO2 [ppb] SO2 [ppb] SO42- [µg m-3] O3 [ppb] NH4+ [µg m-3] Dec. 9 Dec. 10 Dec. 9 Dec. 10

  11. Winter contour: PM [µg m-3] 18:00 Dec. 9, 1999 18:00 Dec. 10, 1999 • not good • “observed” SPM(~PM7) vs. “calculated” PM2.5 • SPM = SIA + EC + OC + Cl- +… observed CMAQ observed CMAQ PM2.5 in CMAQ

  12. K T obs. CMAQ Summer: Gas at Tokyo • better than winter NO2 [ppb] SO2 [ppb] O3 [ppb] Jul. 31 Aug. 1

  13. K T obs. CMAQ Summer: SIA at Tokyo NO3- [µg m-3] NH4+[µg m-3] SO42-[µg m-3] particulate 0 12 0 12 0 Jul. 31 Aug. 1 gaseous 0 12 0 12 0 0 12 0 12 0 Jul. 31 Aug. 1 Jul. 31 Aug. 1

  14. Summer contour: PM 12:00 Jul. 31, 2001 12:00 Aug. 1, 2001 • much better than winter • summer SPM mainly made of SIA observed CMAQ observed CMAQ

  15. Summary • CMAQ is fine • secondary > primary products • summer > winter • to improve the performance… • Cl- and SOA (winter) • better boundary concentrations (SO2 & SO42-) • alter the gas-aerosol partitioning of NO3- and NH4+

  16. under testing CMAQ with... • HCl/Cl-, important in winter aerosol • emission, deposition and gas-aerosol reaction • coarse aerosol nitrate and chloride • gas/coarse aerosol reaction • upper boundary • free-tropospheric ozone • sulfate formation on aerosol surface • heterogeneous reaction of SO2

  17. SO2-to-SO42-(p) conversion • homogeneous + nucleation • SO2 + OH => H2SO4(g) • H2SO4(g) => SO42-(p) • aqueous chemistry in cloud water • SO2 + cw => SO42-(aq) • SO42-(aq) => SO42-(p) • heterogeneous chemistry • SO2 + aerosol surface => SO42-(p)
