WG3.2: Regional modeling

WG3.2: Regional modeling. Rokjin Park and Yuxuan Wang. Major problems/limitations in the current regional modeling. Nested version of GEOS-Chem GEOS-5 nested version of 0.5 o x 0.66 o is only available for East Asia (2004-present) any interests for other regions – met field availability?

Presentation Transcript

  1. WG3.2: Regional modeling Rokjin Park and Yuxuan Wang

  2. Major problems/limitations in the current regional modeling • Nested version of GEOS-Chem • GEOS-5 nested version of 0.5o x 0.66o is only available for East Asia (2004-present) any interests for other regions – met field availability? • Asian emissions for the GEOS-5 nested version (1x1 Streets et al inventory, 1x1 GFED2 biomass burning, vegetation, etc…) • Evaluation of other simulations (Aerosol, Mercury, CH4) with nested version • Comparisons between the nested GC with other regional model • Any potential problems with using 4ox5o GC for 0.5o x 0.66o BC? OK for now, any comments?

  3. Major problems/limitations in the current regional modeling (cont.) • Regional modeling using BC from GC • Different meteorology in the boundary between GEOS vs. MM5 - Running the regional model with GEOS meteorology ? • Chemical mapping for GC – CB5, GC – SPRAC99 • Conservation of carbon in VOCs mapping in GC-CMAQ? • Friendlier format of GC for BC • Consistent linkage tool for GC – regional model • Any needs for archiving GC data for regional modeling?

  4. Ongoing developments • Nested version in Europe by Ana Protonotarious, Nat’l Observ. of Athens • Species vs. species mapping by Tao Zeng, Georgia EPD • Aerosol microphysics in the nested model byFangqun Yu, Suny Albany

  5. Priorities and Plans • Developing a consistent linkage tool for GC and CMAQ (?) • Evaluation of aerosol simulations of the nested GEOS-Chem over East Asia (Rokjin) • Wiki page including introduction for the nested GC (Yuxuan)
