Introduction and Objectives Source: www.ipcc..ch
Cont. • Forward: Climate change induced by emissions, land use modifications, and other human activities • Inverse: Of recent interest is how climate change might potentially impact regional air quality, e.g. 45-50 years from now. • In addition, how climate change might affect control strategies of emissions. • Focus: • Temperature increase • Ozone (O3) • Fine Particulate Matter (here, ASO4 = ASO4I + ASO4J)
Method • Preliminary study: Climate change due to an uniform increase in temperature • Off-line perturbation: • Meteorology: +3 K in mean temperature • Emissions: Run SMOKE using perturbed meteorology • 3 Cases: 1) Base case 2) Direct case: Perturbed Meteorology & Base Emissions 3) Emission-Induced (i.e. indirect) case: Perturbed Meteorology & Perturbed Emissions • Sensitivity to emissions by brute-force method

Sensitivity of O3 to NOx Direct Base Emission-Induced
Sensitivity of O3 to VOC Direct Base Emission-Induced
Summary • Effects of climate change due to an temperature increase studied • Various emissions: Sensitive to temperature • Change (from base case) in O3 and ASO4 levels in both direct and emission-induced cases: Fair to significant • Sensitivities of O3 to NOx and VOC in all the three cases: Different but similar in both spatial pattern and magnitude • Implication: Current emissions controls still robust and applicable for the future • Future work: • Use downscaled meteorological inputs from a global climate model to drive future scenarios • Incorporate emissions from Canada and Mexico in modeling • Use DDM (Direct Decoupled Method) for sensitivity calculation • Consider more gaseous and aerosol species
