1997 Southern California Ozone-NARSTO Study: Preparation of the 1997 Gridded Emission Inventory Dale Shimp SCOS97-NARSTO Conference Presentation February 14, 2001
INTRODUCTION • Comprehensive emission inventory for the entire SCOS97 domain • Large study domain with multiple agencies • Inventory to be used for both SCOS97 study and Southern California air quality plans • Need for hourly, daily emission inventory data • Built upon lessons learned from past studies
LESSIONS FROM EARLIER STUDIES • Need for day-specific traffic data to answer hour-of-day/day-of-week activity issues • Improved information on off-road mobile sources especially ships and aircraft • Improved biogenic emission inventory
LESSIONS FROM EARLIER STUDIES • Development of updated and improved spatial allocation factors • Stack and locational information often incomplete or missing
ORGANIZING THE PROCESS • Identify responsible agencies and contractors • Emission Inventory Working Group (EIWG) • Identify annual average and day-specific data needs
EIWG Members • California Air Resources Board • Local Air Pollution Control Agencies • United States EPA • United States Navy
ROLE OF EIWG • Emission Inventory Collection and Reporting • Define Inventory Needs • Technical Support Group • Quality Assurance • Keep Project on Schedule
DAY-SPECIFIC INFORMATION • Stationary Sources • On-Road Mobile Sources • Off-Road Mobile Sources • Non-Anthropogenic Sources
DAY-SPECIFIC INFORMATIONCOLLECTION • Collect hourly, day-specific emission data from stationary sources • Collect hourly motor vehicle traffic count information on major state highways • Collect hourly aircraft activity data
DAY-SPECIFIC INFORMATIONCOLLECTION (continued) • Collect hourly ship activity data at ports • Collect daily wildfire information • Develop a comprehensive biogenic inventory for the entire SCOS97 study domain
MODELING EMISSION INVENTORY DEVELOPMENT Adopted a two-tier approach to the development of the modeling emission inventory • First Tier - will provide modelers with a “fast-track” inventory based on annual average data • Second Tier - will provide modelers with a “final” inventory with all day-specific data
FAST-TRACK EMISSION INVENTORY • Preliminary Domain-Wide Modeling Inventory • 1996 Annual Average Emission Inventory • Day-Specific Wildfire Information • Used to Test Model Performance
FINAL EMISSION INVENTORY • Integration of Day-Specific Information • Application of 1997 Spatial Surrogates • Weekend Inventories • Future Year Inventories
SUMMARY • Key to success was hard work and interagency cooperation • Regular EIWG meetings minimized problems and misunderstandings and helped maintain schedule • Proactive problem solving approach by focusing on inventory deficiencies from earlier studies • Adopted a two-tier approach for developing a modeling emission inventory
