ORIGIN OF BACKGROUND OZONE IN SURFACE AIR OVER THE UNITED STATES: CONTRIBUTION TO POLLUTION EPISODES Daniel J. Jacob and Arlene M. Fiore Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group Harvard University

THE PROBLEM Ozone in surface air over the U.S. in summer includes a ppbv background transported from outside the continental boundary layer –Evidence from O3 vs. (NOy-NOx) correlations, O 3 frequency distributions, measurements at clean sites, models. Nineteenth-century observations (Europe) indicate 5-10 ppbv O3, preindustrial models calculate ppbv O3. What is the origin of the present-day background, and how does it contribute to pollution episodes?

GEOS-CHEM GLOBAL 3-D MODEL OF TROPOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY: APPLICATION TO SUMMER 1995 SIMULATION OF REGIONAL O 3 POLLUTION IN THE U.S. AIRS, SOS, NARSTO-NE observations Assimilated meteorological observations from NASA DAO 2 o x2.5 o horizontal resolution, 26 vertical layers 120 chemical species to describe tropospheric O3-NOx-hydrocarbon chemistry; aerosol effects on chemistry, radiation SAMI July 1995 emission inventory for eastern U.S.

SUMMER 1995 AFTERNOON OZONE IN SURFACE AIR OVER THE U.S. AIRS observations GEOS-CHEM (r 2 = 0.4, bias=3 ppbv)

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION OF SURFACE p.m. O 3 IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS IN SUMMER 1995 Observations (squares, triangles) Model (crosses) Air quality standard

MEAN AFTERNOON OZONE BACKGROUND IN MODEL, SUMMER 1995 Background is tagged as ozone produced outside the N. American boundary layer (surface-700 hPa)

DEPLETION OF OZONE BACKGROUND DURING POLLUTION EPISODES (due to regional stagnation, short O 3 lifetime) Background (clean conditions) O 3 vs. (NO y -NO x ) At Harvard Forest, Massachusetts Background (pollution episodes)

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION OF AFTERNOON BACKGROUND OZONE CONCENTRATIONS IN U.S. SURFACE AIR IN SUMMER 1995 (model) summer ensemble vs. pollution episodes Convection upwind occasionally results in high background during pollution episodes

ASIAN/EUROPEAN POLLUTION ENHANCEMENT OF BACKGROUND OZONE IN U.S. Mean model values, summer 1995 (4 o x5 o resolution) “Natural” background (no anthropogenic emissions of NO x or NMHCs anywhere, but present-day CH 4 ) Asian/European anthropogenic enhancement above natural background (no anthropogenic emissions in North America)

RANGE OF ASIAN/EUROPEAN POLLUTION OZONE ENHANCEMENTS OVER THE UNITED STATES ensemble of model results, summer 1995 Max enhancements (up to 14 ppbv) under moderately polluted conditions (50-70 ppbv O3) MAJOR CONCERN IF OZONE STANDARD WERE TO DECREASE TO 60 PPBV!
