  11. Condensational Growth (Moving-Center vs. Finite-Difference)

  12. Gas/Particle Mass Transfer (Hybrid vs. Bulk Equilibrium)

  13. Gas/Particle Mass Transfer (CIT Bulk Equilibrium vs. CMU Hybrid) The CIT bulk equilibrium approach distributes most nitrate within the fine mode (PM2.5) The CMU hybrid approach predicts more sodium nitrate in the coarse mode

  14. Model Performance for O3 and PM2.5

  15. Summary of SCAQS Application • CMAQ-MADRID provides a realistic representation of atmospheric PM. • Secondary organic aerosol predictions are sensitive to different SOA formulations. • Jacobson’s moving-center approach is the most accurate among the condensational growth algorithms tested. • The CMU hybrid and the CIT bulk equilibrium approaches predict a realistic particle size distribution under most conditions. • Heterogeneous chemistry increases H2O2,HNO3, and sulfate; decreases SO2 andNO2;affects O3 and nitrate in both ways.
