2. Current Status
LADCO is actively modeling non-fires 2009 and 2018 scenarios
Writing an issue paper for states to try and get more attention to fire issues.
Base year fires modeling showed…..

3. Other Sensitivity Runs
Fires (Apr & May 2002) – very small impact on seasonal average and on daily model performance in the Upper Midwest

4. 2002 Fire Emissions (April & May)

5. 2002 Fire Emissions (April & May)

PM2.5 OC
PM2.5 EC
PM2.5 EC

6. Where we go from here? Work with states on Issue paper.
Test/run future year fire inventories created by ECR.
Test other months (September?)
Given the current state of emissions sensitivities and the need to do state SIPs fires is not a high priority.
