Objective: Examine potential climate change impacts on O 3 and PM using the regional scale Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model linked with global scale climate and chemical transport models Supports U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) research goals and synthesis products AMD PIs include: Ellen Cooter Project management Climate assessment, landscape/vegetation change Alice GillilandCMAQ modeling and linkages with global CTMs Bill BenjeyAir quality emissions, future emission scenarios Robert GilliamRegional climate model evaluation Collaborators include:  Ruby LeungPacific Northwest National Laboratory (MM5 RCM)  Dan LoughlinEPA NRMRL (future emission scenarios)  Daniel JacobHarvard University (GISS, GEOS-CHEM) Loretta Mickley  Peter AdamsCarnegie Mellon University (global CTM)  Ron NeilsonUSDA-FS, Pacific Northwest Research Station Climate Impacts on Regional Air Quality (CIRAQ)

CIRAQ Project Timeline FY03-05 Understanding the global to regional climate linkage to support regional scale air quality simulations FY04-07 Understanding the impact of climate change on regional air quality (CIRAQ Phase 1) -Develop 5-yr current and future (fixed technology and landuse) emissions scenarios -Perform 5-yr current and future (2050) CMAQ simulations FY06-09 Understanding the impact of climate and emissions changes on regional air quality (CIRAQ Phase 2)

Downscaled Meteorology (linking global and regional scale climate) GCM (Harvard University)  GISS version II’  6hrly output saved for 10 present-day and 10 future years.  Used as boundary and initial conditions to MM5 Downscaling with MM5 (DOE/PNNL)  MM5 run in regional climate mode 23 layers, MRF planetary boundary layer parameterization, Grell cumulus cloud parameterization, RRTM radiation scheme and mixed phase microphysics  36km x36km horizontal resolution spanning continental US, northern Mexico and southern Canada

RCM Evaluation/Analysis The Goal: To understand climatological biases that could impact CMAQ model performance The Challenge: RCM scenarios characterize time periods under representative climatological conditions and will not necessarily reproduce day-to-day and exact year-to-year observations. The Solution: Base evaluation on distributions of model output means, extremes and variability on both spatial and temporal scales.

MM5/RCM Obs

MM5/RCM/MCIP Evaluation Time Series Analysis (Leads, Gilliland and Swall) Meteorological conditions include annual, diurnal, and interannual cycles Use time series analysis techniques (e.g., filtering techniques, Fourier analysis, etc.) to separate these time scale variations in the data Amplitude of these cycles and the extent of variability can be compared for observational data and model output Understanding these cyclical patterns allows for better detection of climate change signals and investigation of these changes

MM5/RCM/MCIP Evaluation Spatial Analysis (Lead, Cooter) Goal: Develop methods to compare spatial patterns of gridded meteorological (or other) means and extremes across datasets. Method: Cluster analysis –Wards (means) –Average linkage and k-means (extremes) Analysis: Visual – difference mappings Quantitative – frequency analysis Developed and tested using 10 years of NCEP and NCEP/AMIP reanalysis data

Question: Do average summer season 700mb transport patterns look similar? NCEP Reanalysis R-1 (black arrows) NCEP/AMIP Reanalysis R-2 (red arrows) (R2 – R1)

CMAQ Air Quality Simulations (Lead, Gilliland) Plan O 3, PM 2.5, PM 10, sulfate and nitrate deposition, … U.S. continental domain, 36 km horizontal resolution Linkages to global scale chemical transport simulations through boundary conditions  Two global CTMs (Harvard and Carnegie-Mellon – EPA STAR program)  Both driven by GISS II’ GCM Challenge Global CTM chemical mechanism matched to SAPRC (AMD, Univ. of Houston) Temporal and spatial scale issues (Univ. of Houston) CMAQ simulations are expected to begin during FY05

Analysis of Air Quality Simulations: EOF Analysis Another link to the EPA STAR program Harvard and CIRAQ collaborations include an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of spatial variability in ozone and PM 2.5 predictions Refers back to the climatological evaluation approach needed Both global CTM and CMAQ results will be included in the analysis

Summary Several ‘arms’ to the ORD study of climate impact on air quality  STAR program is very extensive (albeit briefly described here)  NERL CIRAQ project fosters broad collaborations, including several STAR (e.g., Hogrefe, Jacob, Adams, Fu) recipients and ICAP investigators (e.g., Jang, Byun, Jacob, Fu) Through these partnerships, a broader study of climate and air quality interactions can be attained Future goals include even more integrated project goals between ORD and OAQPS (discussions ongoing)  Satellite data for intercontinental transport  Integration of aerosol feedbacks into photolysis rates  More…
