Model Simulations GEOS-CHEM Global 3-D model of tropospheric chemistry-aerosols. Driven by GMAO GEOS-3 assimilated meteorology. Used in TRACE-P and ITCT-2K2 chemical hindcasts / forecasts and post-mission analyses. Model Simulations Time period: June-August of 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002 Tagged CO (all four years): 2°x2.5° (use 1998 FF and climatological BB emissions for all four years) Full-chemistry (2000 only): 1°x1° ‘nested’ over North America (use 2000 BB emissions) Observations MOPITT CO column MODIS aerosol optical depth AERONET aerosol optical depth

Summer 2004: El Niño, La Niña, or Neutral? Most of the statistical and dynamical model forecasts are indicating slightly above-average conditions over the coming several months. The most recent Niño 3.4 SST anomalies fall in the range of near-neutral conditions.

Summary and Conclusions Main pathways: BL and lower FT outflow; Convective outflow in the MT and UT. Outflows occur at a rather large latitude range (30ºN-55ºN) along the east coast. Deep convections in the south-central U.S. are often followed by recirculation in the MT and UT over much of the U.S. Biomass burning outflows generally occur at higher latitudes (45ºN-55ºN) than anthropogenic outflows. Outflows occur at lower latitudes in July and August than in June due to more curve-like flow patterns in July and August. MOPITT CO columns and MODIS and AERONET aerosol optical depths provide useful insights in understanding N. American pollution outflow.
