SCIENTIFIC TOOLS:Mesoscale Modelling Projects RATIONALE INDIVIDUAL PROJECT OBJECTIVES PROJECT DESCRIPTION & STATUS EXPECTED OUTCOMES & BENEFITS
Rationale • Regulatory Dispersion Modelling & Airshed Characterization • “MM5 Meteorological Data for Western Canada (20 km)”
Rationale • Regulatory Dispersion Modelling & Airshed Characterization • “MM5 Meteorological Data for Western Canada (20 km)” • UNBC/UBC CFCAS grant proposal • “High Resolution Atmospheric Simulations along Coasts & over Complex Terrain”
Individual Project Objectives Forecast mode Hindcast mode Fine (MC2) Ultra-fine (CFD) UNBC “Model Initialization” UBC “Model Resolution”
Project Description • Study Area • Kamloops • Kelowna
Project Description • Study Area • Kamloops • Kelowna • Study Period • Summer O3 (Jun 12 – Jun 26, 2002) • Winter PM (Jan 28 – Feb 10, 2003)
Project Description... continued • Model Validation • Vertical (hi-res sounding data) • Horizontal (EC, WALP, MoF and MoTH surface data) • Inner nest & parent MC2 4 km, 2 km RAMS 3 km, 1 km CFD 1 km, 200 m
Project Status • UNBC • Summer simulation complete & being validated • Winter simulation underway • UBC • MC2 @ 2k (login: bcwalp pwd:kamloops) • MC2 output projected onto Clark’s grid • Code ported to MPI environment • Testing implementation with 2D version of model
CONCLUSION:Expected Outcomes & Benefits Model inter-comparison study Sample datasets for CALMET/CALPUFF experimentation Recommendations for generating a longterm province-wide dataset
