Symposium in celebration of Jennifer Logan Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cambridge, MA May 10, Arlene M. Fiore Recent trends, future projections “ ”: Acknowledgments: Elizabeth Barnes (NOAA/LDEO, now CSU), Olivia Clifton (LDEO), Gus Correa (LDEO), Larry Horowitz (GFDL), Jasmin John (GFDL), Vaishali Naik (UCAR/GFDL), Lorenzo Polvani (Columbia), Harald Rieder (LDEO)

Logan, 1989: expresses urgent need for routine measurements at rural sites in the Eastern USA U.S. EPA CASTNet has now measured rural O 3 for over two decades  How has the O 3 distribution, including extreme events, changed?  What might the future hold? Logan, 1989 Fig 3 April-Sept O 3 cumulative probability distribution LT (ppb) at SURE sites Distribution not well described by Gaussian statistics, esp. upper tail SURE and NAPBN sites Apr-Sep 1979 # days with O 3 (8am-8pm) > 80 ppb 3-8% > 80 ppb (98% values: ppb)

Trends in seasonal daytime (11am-4pm) average ozone at rural U.S. monitoring sites (CASTNet): 1990 to 2010 Cooper et al., JGR, 2012 SPRING SUMMER  Success in decreasing highest levels, but baseline rising (W. USA)  Decreases in EUS attributed in observations and models to NO x emission controls in late 1990s, early 2000s [e.g., Frost et al., 2006; Hudman et al., 2007; van der A. et al., 2008; Stavrakou et al., 2008; Bloomer et al., 2009, 2010; Fang et al., 2010] significant not significant 95% 5% ppb yr -1

Extreme value theory statistical methods enable derivation of “return levels” for JJA MDA8 O 3 within a given time window CASTNet site: Penn Station, PA Return level = value (level) that occurs or is exceeded within a given time (period) Rieder et al., ERL  Sharp decline in return levels between early and later periods (NO x SIP call)  Consistent with prior work [e.g., Frost et al., 2006; Bloomer et al., 2009, 2010]  Translates air pollution changes into probabilistic language Apply methods to all EUS CASTNet sites to derive 1-year return levels Fit using EVT methods for MDA8 O 3 >75 ppb Observed MDA8 O 3

One-year return levels for JJA MDA8 O 3 over EUS decrease following NO x emission controls Rieder et al., ERL  1-yr return level decreases by 2-16 ppb  1-year levels remain above the NAAQS threshold (75 ppb)

How will NE US surface O 3 distributions evolve with future changes in emissions and climate? Tool: GFDL CM3 chemistry-climate model Donner et al., J. Climate, 2011; Golaz et al., J. Climate, 2011; John et al., ACP, 2012 Turner et al., ACP, 2012 Naik et al., submitted Horowitz et al., in prep ~2°x2°; 48 levels Over 6000 years of climate simulations that include chemistry (air quality) Options for nudging to re-analysis + global high-res ~50km 2 [Lin et al., JGR, 2012ab] Climate / Emission Scenarios: Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) RCP8.5 RCP4.5 RCP4.5_WMGG Percentage changes from 2005 to 2100 Global CO 2 Global CH 4 Global NO x NE USA NO x Enables separation of roles of changing climate from changing air pollutants Global T (°C) (>500 hPa)

Impact of changes in climate vs. emissions on surface O 3 under moderate warming scenario over NE USA ( ) – ( ) RCP4.5_WMGG 3 ens. member mean: Moderate climate change increases NE USA surface ozone up to 4 ppb RCP RCP RCP4.5_WMGG RCP4.5_WMGG But large regional NO x reductions fully offset this; O 3 decreases most for polluted conditions; Seasonal cycle reverses Percentile of JJA MDA8 O 3 distribution RCP4.5 O 3 change (ppb) ( )-( ) 3 ensemble members 5% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 95% ensemble members for each scenario

NE USA: surface O 3 seasonal cycle reverses in CM3 with large regional NO x controls in RCP8.5 (extreme warming) NO x decreases ? Stratospheric O 3 tracer  Tracer of strat. O 3 increases in winter-spring  Recovery + climate-driven increase in STE? [e.g.,Butchart et al., 2006; Hegglin&Shepherd, 2009; Kawase et al., 2011; Li et al., 2008; Shindell et al. 2006; Zeng et al., 2010]  Difference between RCP8.5 and RCP8.5 but with CH 4 held at 2005 levels indicates that doubling CH 4 increases surface O 3 over NE by more than 5-10 ppb;  Largest in winter

Summertime surface O 3 variability aligns with the 500 hPa jet over Eastern N. America MERRA Barnes & Fiore, in press, GRL JJA MDA8 O 3 and NO x emissions zonally averaged over Eastern N. America Relative standard deviation max at the jet latitude CM3 Jet Position NO x emission peak aligns with highest mean observed + modeled MDA8 O 3 GFDL CM3 model

Peak latitude of summertime surface O 3 variability over Eastern N. America follows the jet as climate warms Barnes & Fiore, GRL, in press RCP8.5: most warming, Largest jet shift Each point = 10 year mean (over all ensmble members where available) Local O 3 :T relationships also follow the jet (not shown)  observed O 3 :T may not apply if large-scale circulation shifts Could different simulated jet positions explain cross-model disagreement in regional O 3 response to climate change?
