  1. Modélisation du cycle de l’ozone dans la haute troposphère : impact des NOx produits par les éclairs. C. Mari, JP. Pinty, P. Mascart, J. Duron, C. Barthe, JP Chaboureau, F. Gheusi, M. Tressol and T. Fehr (DLR) • Motivations • Paramétrisation des LiNOx dans Méso-NH • Applications à TOGA-COARE, TROCCINOX et STERAO • Perspectives Méso-NH – Réunion utilisateurs -Toulouse 2005

  2. NOx : catalyseurs indispensables pour la production de l’O3 ! Comprendre le bilan de l’ozone troposphérique

  3. Réduire l’incertitude sur les sources de NOx (Lee et al., 1997)

  4. Cloud Top Updrafts IC -10°C 0°C Downdrafts CG Paramétrisation des LiNOx dans Méso-NH (JP Pinty et T. Fehr) • Lightning frequency (Price and Rind 1992) / Cloud Top Height • IC/CG rate (Price and Rind, 1994) / Cold cloud thickness • P(CG) = 6,7 x 1026 molecules of NO / flash, P(IC) = P(CG) / 10 (Price et al., 1997) • LNOx in updrafts and/or in downdrafts • Perfectly coherent with transport and scavenging

  5. Long-term simulations 1D / TOGA-COARE NO2 (LiNOx) – NO2 (No LiNOx) Upper troposphere: Accumulation Free troposphere: Competition LNOx vs. convective transport PBL: Increase of NOx due to downdraft transport of LNOx

  6. Long-term simulations 1D / TOGA-COARE O3 (LiNOx) - O3 (NO LiNOx) LNOx = local and sporadic event but integrated effect in space and time for ozone

  7. Meso-NH Set-up for regional (low-resolution) simulations EU-TROCCINOX • One single domain (same as forecast mode) • horizontal grid: 102 x 102 points at 30 km resolution • 72 levels: from 40 m (bottom) up to 600 m (top) • Physics • turbulence: CBR TKE 1D scheme • convection: Bechtold’s scheme (incl. scavenging and LiNOx) • microphysics: Pinty-Jabouille, subgrid cloudiness • surface: ISBA and TEB • radiation: ECMWF • Initialization/coupling with ARPEGE-MOCAGE analysis • Lagrangian tracers • Chemistry • ReLACS scheme (37 species) • dry deposition: Wesely • emissions: EDGAR/GEIA (1°x1°) • (except for BB, Yevich and Logan 2003)

  9. Modelling of LNOx in MNHC at high resolution [ JP Pinty, C. Mari, C. Barthe and JP Chaboureau] The STERAO intercomparison case [courtesy of M. Barth, NCAR) http://box.mmm.ucar.edu/individual/barth/Chem_Convec_Intercomparison/slide1.html

  10. Domain • horizontal grid : 120 x 120 points at 1 km resolution with open LBC • 50 levels : from 70 m (bot) up to 600 m (top) with wave damping • Physics • transport with MPDATA scheme • microphysics: Pinty-Jabouille • electricity: Barthe-Pinty-Molinié • gas scavenging & LiNOx: Mari-Pinty • 3D turbulence (TKE): Cuxart-B-R • Initialization • R/S with 3 warm bubbles (3K) • profiles of HCHO, H2O2, HNO3 • profiles of CO, NOx, O3 • 3 hour run on the 12 LINUX cluster @ LA Set-up of Méso-NH Ice and Wind fields T=1 hour @ Z=10 km

  13. Perspectives • Modèle couplé transport / lessivage / éclairs / chimie dans la convection, complet et réaliste • Tests de sensibilité 1D (stage de H. Luitjing au LA ) • Amélioration de la paramétrisation: approche plus physique, comparaison avec des simulations explicites de type STERAO (stage post-doctoral C. Barthe)
