1 An Assessment of CMAQ with TEOM Measurements over the Eastern US Michael Ku, Chris Hogrefe, Kevin Civerolo, and Gopal Sistla PM Model Performance Workshop, February 10-11, 2004, RTP, NC

2 Model Simulations MM5 – 108/36/12 km two-way nesting. SMOKE – 1996 CSA emission inventory. CMAQ – 12 km domain only; both CB-IV and RADM2; IC/BC used background values. Simulation Period – July 2 – August 1, 1999

3 TEOM Measurements 21 sites include SLAMS, USDOE, NEOPS, and SEARCH.

4 TEOM Measurements Organization# of Sites ID used in analysis Iowa (SLAMS)61 - 6 New Jersey (SLAMS)57 - 11 New York (SLAMS)112 North Carolina (SLAMS) 113 South Carolina (SLAMS) 214 - 15 USDOE (PA)216 - 17 SEARCH (AL & GA)318 - 20 NEOPS (PA)121 Total21

10 CMAQ (CB-IV) predicts slightly higher daily averaged values than CMAQ (RADM2).

11 CMAQ (CB-IV) underpredicted low-end and overpredicted high end of the daily averaged values.

12 CMAQ (RADM2) underpredicted low-end and overpredicted high end of the daily averaged values.

13 Compare Spatial Structures -Calculate Cross-correlation coefficients of TEOM measurements and CMAQ outputs at the TEOM sites. The calculations yield a 21x21 symmetric matrix of correlation coefficients which represent the correlation of the sites with each other. -If CMAQ produces similar correlation coefficients matrix with TEOM, the CMAQ is able to capture the TEOM measured spatial structures.

14 The similarity of the two contour plots indicates that CMAQ (CB-IV) is able to capture the spatial pattern of the TEOM measured data

15 Compare Temporal Patterns Hourly time series Synoptic components Diurnal variation

16 Hourly time series: Examples of good comparison

17 Hourly time series: Examples of poor comparison

18 Examine the Synoptic Components KZ filter is used to extract the Synoptic Components from TEOM measurements and CMAQ predicted data. Compare the Synoptic Components for data averaged over three regions: Iowa, Northeast, and SEARCH.

19 Iowa Region

20 Northeast Region

21 SEARCH

22 Diurnal variation: Examples of good hourly time series comparison.

23 Diurnal variation: Examples of poor hourly time series comparison.

24 SUMMARY CMAQ overpredicted TEOM measurements at high end and underpredicted at low end. CMAQ captured the spatial pattern of the TEOM measurements. TEOM measurements and CMAQ predictions show no typical diurnal variation. CMAQ performed well in capturing the average synoptic temporal pattern in the northeast region, but failed to capture the temporal pattern in the other two regions. Analysis should be expanded to include PM speciation data.
