Applications of KAMM Temuco, Chile Rodrigo Delgado Urzúa Universidad de La Frontera Temuco, Chile Workshop FONDECYT La Serena, November 2004
KAMM / CMCC Meteorology Temuco Researchers: Dr. Sonia Montecinos Dr. Jaime Bustos M. Sc. Jesús Ruiz Students: Luis Machuca Gabriel Toro Luis Cortes Rodrigo Delgado …
Pollution Temuco High concentrations of PM10 in winter (mar-sep) Peaks of 800 μgr/m 3, 24h concentrations peaks of 270 μgr/m 3 (1) 92% of the emissions come from houses (2)
KAMM-DRAIS Model Input Meteorological Data: NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Emissions data: no data, estimations based in a 1996 study ~ 330 ton/year Soil-use data: estimated Soil water content data: estimated Topographical data: taken from internet databases
Germany results
Temuco Project Universidad de La Frontera Center for Modeling and Scientific Computation + Faculty of Engineering, Sciences and Administration + Department of Physics Sciences DIDUFRO: Estudio de la Meteorología de la IX Región en Condiciones de Invierno (Meteorological study of IX Region in winter conditions)
Temuco Project: Objectives Make a characterization of a “ meteorologically typical ” winter day Understand the outputs generated by KAMM Graphical representation of the model output data
Computational Adaptation of the Model Germany: Vector computer (VPP) Temuco: High-End PC (x86 platform, 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM) Only meteorological model running, dispersion section (DRAIS) not yet implemented Grid: 144x114 (2x2 Km 2 ), 25 levels
Temuco: Work in progress Better knowledge about the model: Routine documentation How-to-run manuals How-to-make-graphics (in GrADS) manuals Improved input data: Data mining GIS-helped soil data
Temuco results Graphics done with Matlab TopographicSoil type
Temuco results Wind’s direction angle
Temuco results
Forthcoming work / cooperation Tool for discovering/studying potential “wind farms” sites Campaign of measurements in Temuco, University of Stockholm (mar-jul 2005) Better residential emissions inventory/estimations
