3 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Lokal Modell The model: Non-hydrostatic, limited area model (same class as MM5, Aladin,…) First designed by the German Weather Service, presently developed by the COSMO consortium (weather services of Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Poland) Used for operational forecasts and research programs (see: www.cosmo-model.org) Operational domain of LM @ ARPA-SIM Implementation at ARPA-SIM: 7 km horizontal resolution 35 vertical levels (first levels: 35, 110, 200 m) Two daily forecasts, lasting 72 hours Initial and boundary conditions by GME (German GCM) Data assimilation: 12 hours nudging of GTS data

4 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Lokal Modell “re-analysis” Applications: Long-term and scenario simulations Simulations whit simple dispersion models Meteorological characterisation of areas where no measurements are available Features Available from April 2003 10 parameters on model levels + 26 surface fields included; hourly resolution -to prevent model drift, some surface fields are updated from GCM every 12 hours (so this is no exactly a continuous assimilation) -presently only GTS data are included in assimilation cycle (i.e. relatively low resolution) A “re-analysis” dataset is being built by storing LM fields during assimilation cycle.

5 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 LM – Chimere interface (1) It does exactly the same job as interf-mm5 Input: GRIB archive. Output: input for diagmet.f All “questionable” calculations are left to diagmet Interface steps: Extraction form archive Horizontal interpolation (rotated coordinates) Temporal interpolation and de-cumulation Calculation of pressure and mixing ratio, units conversions This is NOT a general GRIB-to-Chimere interface!! (sorry for that) GRIB format is very general – and not as standard as it pretends to be. It is very difficult (and probably not worth) to handle all possibilities: -a lot of different options for validation times, geographic projections, vertical levels… -different models store different parameters (ex. Humidity, pressure…) We have substantially modified the structure of Chimere calling scripts, to make it possible to prepare input files prior to model integration

6 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 LM – Chimere interface (2) Chimere implementation at ARPA-SIM Input preparation split from model run All user modifications are in a single command file (keywords) All programs making calculations unchanged Prevent duplication of data When testing different model configurations, input files can be prepared only once Easier analysis of inputs Command file (keywords)

7 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 LM verification Background: Meteorological fields are a very critical input, especially In Po valley LM has hardly ever been used to drive a chemical model Objectives Verification of operational forecasts focused on environmental applications (routinely LM verifications concentrated on precipitation) Find the best way to produce the input (select the most reliable parameters) How will LM errors affect Chimere performance? Are they common to most LAMs? Some systematic errors found in LM output Temperature profiles 10 meters wind

8 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 LM verification: winter temperature PBL looks always too cold in LM During night, LM strongly underestimates the strength of surface inversion (a 6 to 8 degrees inversion is frequent in Po valley) Possible causes: surface fluxes (sensible vs latent heat?), turbulent diffusion in PBL… Effects on Chimere: wrong vertical mixing, high level emissions (stacks) not being considered above inversion… Examples of winter Temperature profiles at S.P.Capofiume (rural site) Observations (black) and short term LM forecasts at different resolutions (colours) Day (12Z) Night (00Z)

9 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 LM verification: summer temperature T, day T, night Temperature in the PBL is underestimated also in summer (known problem of LM), both in the diurnal mixed layer and in the nocturnal residual layer. No night-time inversion in LM (which often occurs in Po valley) Possible cause: LHF overestimated, SHF underestimated (errors in soil moisture, soil type…) Effects on Chimere ?? Examples of summer Temperature profiles at S.P.Capofiume Observations (black) and short term LM forecasts at different resolutions (colours)

10 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 LM verification: 10 m wind Verification dataset: 74 stations in Po valley (46 plain, 10 hills, 18 mount.) Hourly values, 1 year (apr 2003 – mar 2004) Wind speed: Overestimated on plain and hills, esp. during night MAE similar  in plains/hills errors are more systematic Errors do not grow with validation time Wind direction: Plains slightly better than mountains (MAE 60° vs 75°) Wind direction, MAE Wind speed, Bias (left) and MAE (right) as a function of validation time. Stations on plains (blue), hills (purple) and mountains (green)

11 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 PM10 underestimation (1) Erosion emissions: (negligible in this case) Increase with u * salt Decrease with Q soil Switched off over sea and if Q soil > 0.3 m 3 /m 3 Resuspension emissions: Proportional to u * 1.43 Decrease with Q soil if Q soil > 0.15 m 3 /m 3 Switched off over sea and if Q soil > 0.3 m 3 /m 3 The most pressing problem is PM10 underestimation  activate erosion/resuspension scheme Forced by u * and Soil Humidity (Q soil ) -Q soil from LM -u * (and u * salt ) estimated by Chimere (diagmet.f) starting form LM values of wind, , … (Note: thermal mixing is taken into account through a term proportional to w * ) Note: in the following, LM re-analysis were used

13 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 PM10 underestimation (2) Resulting additional emissions are not exactly what we expected: “biogenic” PM emissions are comparable to anthropogenic in mountain areas but much smaller (at least 2 orders of magnitude) in Po valley  Analysis of Soil Moisture and Friction Velocity:

14 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Soil moisture: analysis Horizontal distribution dominated by soil type (low resolution!) Little time variability (except annual cycle and precipitation events) May be sistematically overestimated No measurements available (at this time)  Erosion/resusp often switched off, especially in winter days with no precipitation (where PM concentrations are higher!)

15 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Friction velocity: analysis Pattern is similar LM values are almost double (0.2 vs 0.1) Chimere much lower during night Chimere diurnal cycle much stronger Note: u * affects also dry deposition, Kz, Zi… Chimere with LM input (wind, ,  v …) LM direct output (momentum flux) 0.5 0.3 0.2 0.15 0.10 0.05

16 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Friction Velocity: validation (1) Metodology (preliminary…): U* measurements (sonic anemometer) available from a campaign held in winter 2002 at S.P.Capofiume (rural site in eastern Po Valley) U* estimated by meteorological pre-processor Calmet (forced by surface observations and radiosoundings; Holtslag and Van Ulden 1983) is available for both 2002 and 2004 Calmet output for 2002 is in good agreement with observations; we suppose that it is a good estimate also for 2004 data. Note: In winter 2004 surface wind speed is significantly different from 2002, especially in afternoon hours Routine measurements of soil humidity and turbulence parameters at S.P.Capofiume will begin in the next months…

17 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Friction velocity: “validation” (2)

18 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Friction velocity: “validation” (3) During night: -Chimere underestimates; very low in specific days (0.01) -LM overestimates (by a factor of 2) During day: -Chimere (probably) underestimates; very strong diurnal cycle because of W* term (this will be even stronger in summer) -LM looks good Further work required…

19 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 PM10 underestimation Possible solutions: Retuning the scheme in order to get higher additional emissions (soil type, salt. u*...) if erosion/resuspension is really not important, try something else (ex. multiplying SOA) Take into account urban areas: -Approximately 10% of Po valley is urbanized (see pictures) -PM underestimation may not so large in “real” rural stations…  A parameterisation for urban erosion/resuspension could be useful Urbanized areas in Northern Italy (according to Corine 1990) Nocturnal illumination in Northern Italy (satellite view)

20 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Time step 10’ We have a problem with computer time  looking for the longest possible time-step Chimere suggestion: -60’ (step=1) for resolution > 0.25° -15’ (step=4) for resolution 5-10 km If we could use 20’ (step=3): -CPU time reduced from 1h15’ to 55’ per day -1 hour saved in a 3 days forecast Test with 20’ and comparison with 10’ (control) -Model did not explode -Errors are usually negligible -Errors do not accumulate during the simulation -Some differences in secondary species (PM10, PM25), where high concentrations predicted -Local differences in primary pollutants (NH3, H2SO4, NO) close to strong emitting sources  Promising results; test with strong wind required

21 1st Chimere workshop E.Minguzzi, G.Bonafe, M.Deserti, S.Jongen, M.Stortini, ARPA-SIM Palaiseau, March 21-22, 2005 Nucleation scheme A new nucleation scheme is being tested Different formulation (Kulmala et. al 2002 instead of 1998) Allows description of very dry conditions (RH<10%) First test: there are some differences, but rather small Further investigations required… Surface PM10 concentration,  g/m 3, 18/02/2004 h 22Z. Old (left) and new (right) nucleation scheme Difference new-old

LM-Chimere interface has been built LM output looks promising, but it shows some systematic errors Wind speed overestimation Surface inversions The erosion/resuspension scheme needs to be adapted to Northern Italy Either tune the scheme Or improve inputs (soil water) Or change approach (urban) Friction velocity deserves further investigations (it also affects dry deposition, Kz, PBL height,...)
