1 Sensitivity of modeled vertical column NO 2, HCHO, glyoxal and O 3 to emission inventories in the Los Angeles Basin Si-Wan Kim NOAA/ESRL/CSD and CIRES, U. of Colorado Contributors Emission inventory: Wayne Angevine, Ravan Ahmadov, Jerome Brioude, Gregory Frost, Stuart McKeen, and Michael Trainer (NOAA/ESRL/CSD and CIRES) and many others Ground and airborne MAX-DOAS observations: Sunil Baidar, Hilke Oetjen, Ivan Ortega, and Rainer Volkamer (Chemistry and biochemistry, U. of Colorado) NOAA P3 aircraft data: Ilana Pollack, Tom Ryerson, and Carsten Warneke (NOAA/ESRL/CSD and CIRES)

2 Outline Use of TEMPO-like WRF-Chem model results to understand spatial and temporal variations of emissions Spatial and temporal variation of simulated NO 2 columns over the LA Basin (model resolution 4 x 4 km 2 ) Diurnal variation of simulated NO 2, HCHO, Glyoxal, and O 3 columns Sensitivity of the columns to emission inventories over the LA Basin during the CalNex 2010 period Bottom up emission inventories: EPA NEI05, CARB10 Emission inventories from inverse model Observational data: Aircraft in-situ and columns measurements Potential of TEMPO resolving emission issues

3 Sources, emissions, and trends of tropospheric nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds Chemical Transport Model (WRF-Chem by NOAA, NCAR, and many others) Measured Atmospheric Composition = Simulated Composition?  Emission Trend, Error

16 Summary and Future Works Used aircraft and ground-based data to evaluate regional model system (WRF-Chem) using various state-of-the-art emission inventories over the LA Basin Explored sensitivity of NO 2 and HCHO columns to different emissions inventories We are exploring formation of other secondary species (O 3, glyoxal) using modeling with field measurements and satellite data Plan to simulate LEO and GEO HCHO columns - Comparison with LEO satellite HCHO columns - Provide input for precision and frequency of GEO data
