CMAQ Simulations using Fire Inventory of NCAR (FINN) Emissions Cesunica Ivey, David Lavoué, Aika Davis, Yongtao Hu, Armistead Russell Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA CMAS Meeting Chapel Hill, NC Wednesday October 29 th, 2014

CDC PHASE CMAQ runs show plumes over GA National Emissions Inventory (NEI) represents 3 years of emissions Vertical distribution of emissions oftentimes misrepresented Human exposure to biomass burning may have strong correlations with adverse health impacts 2 Motivation Poster: Spatiotemporal Error Assessment for Ambient Air Pollution Estimates obtained using an Observation-CMAQ Data Fusion Technique (Xinxin Zhai, Georgia Tech)

3 Modeling Smoke in N. America Fire emissions from satellite retrieval: GFED (van der Werf et al. 2010), FINN (Wiedinmyer et al. 2011), GBBEP-Geo (Zhang et al. 2012). Smoke plume modeling: CALPUFF, HYSPLIT (NOAA), Daysmoke (Goodrick et al. 2012), ATHAM (Trentmann et al. 2002) Smoke forecasting: BlueSky (Larkin et al. 2009), FLAMBE (Reid et al. 2009), NOAA Smoke Forecasting System (READY)

1.Improve simulated concentrations and model sensitivities from fires 2.Evaluate model outputs using available field experiments and satellite imagery 3.Investigate the impact of changing climate on fires, which in turn affects AQ 4 Research Goals Example of wildfire plume detected by MODIS overlaid with hotspots (red) NASA image courtesy of MODIS Rapid Response Team

5 Primary Approach Obtain annual FINN emissions and integrate with the WRAP plume profile Replace NFEI fire emissions with FINN emissions Simulate episode with both emissions using CMAQ Image Credit: calaveraswines.org

BlueSky framework: fuel load, fuel consumed, emission factors SF2 software for area burned FEPS model for emissions estimates 6 NFEI 2011 Emissions = Area burned * Fuel Load Available * Fuel Consumed (Burn Efficiency) * Emission Factors Source: 2011 National Emissions Inventory, version 1, Technical Support Document

14 Summary 1.Most current NEI emissions capture spatial and temporal variability in fire activity 2.FINN provides added information for off-years and historical simulations 3.Updated historical fire emissions will improve simulations for exposure estimates in health studies

15 Future Work 1.Apply methods over CONUS at 36 km to study transport of smoke plumes from western US wildland fires 2.Integrate all hotspots detected by MODIS when building daily burned areas 3.Integrate a sub-plume model (i.e., Daysmoke) to calculate injection heights of fire emissions AGU Fall Meeting: Abstract ID 30977, “Modeling of Biomass Burning Aerosols over Southeastern United States” Top 5 US wildfires of 2012: about 800,000 acres burned High Park Fire (CO) smoke plume (
