  2. Air Quality Modelling MM5 SMOKE CMAQ

  3. MM5 Southern Ontario / Northeastern US • July 7 - 17, 1995 (NARSTO) • 36,12, 4 km domains Southern Ontario / Northeastern US • July 13 - 17, 1999 • 36,12, 4 km domains Southern Ontario, Quebec and Maritimes • July 11 - 19, 1999 • 36 km (expanded domain) Southern Alberta • August 1 - 5, 1999 • 36,12, 4 km domains

  4. MM5 (Cont’d) Pearl River Delta (Hong Kong and Southern China) • 11 different episodes • 1.5 km grid resolution over large domain • sensitivity runs and quantitative analyses Pacific Northwest IAQMP (ongoing) • Pacific 2001 and winter 2003 episodes • UBC running MC2 at 4 km grid spacing over large, transboundary domain • RWDI converting MC2 output for input to MCIP

  5. MM5 (Cont’d) Southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes July 11 - 19, 1999

  6. SMOKE Southern Ontario / Northeastern US • July 13 - 17, 1999 • 36,12, 4 km domains for various applications: • Environment Canada • City of Toronto • Sithe Energies Canada Ltd. Province of Alberta • Dummy meteorological period • 20 Spatial Surrogates developed on two map projections: • grid resolution = 0.05° Lon. by 0.025° Lat. • grid resolution = 4 km

  7. SMOKE (Cont’d) Spatial Surrogates for Alberta, Canada

  8. SMOKE (Cont’d) Canada West Emission Inventory • Canadian 1995 CAC emission data • Canadianised cross-reference files • 13 spatial surrogates at 4 km grid spacing • Developed “SMOKE-In” database utility / tool • Developed “EI-View” data viewer Pacific Northwest IAQMP (ongoing) • Pacific 2001 and winter 2003 episodes • Joint US / Canada emission inventory and spatial surrogates at 4 km grid spacing • Transboundary and forest fire emission scenarios planned

  9. SMOKE (Cont’d) SMOKE-In • Microsoft ACCESS Database Tool • Import multiple Environment Canada NET and SMOKE IDA files • Query, sort, apply growth factors, QA/QC, etc. • Export SMOKE IDA and EI-View data files

  10. SMOKE (Cont’d) EI-View ARCVIEW 3.2a extension Input SMOKE-In emission tables Plot emissions (tons / year) by county or spatial surrogate

  11. CMAQ Southern Ontario / Northeastern US • July 13 - 17, 1999 • 36,12, 4 km domains for: • Environment Canada • City of Toronto • Sithe Energies Canada Ltd. Southern Ontario / Northeastern US • February 3 - 13, 1998 • 36 km runs for Environment Canada • MEPPS outputs provided by Ontario Ministry of the Environment Southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes • July 11 - 19, 1999 • 36 km (expanded domain)

  12. CMAQ (Cont’d) Pacific Northwest IAQMP • Episodes: • Pacific 2001 (August) • Winter 2003 • Transboundary and forest fire emission scenarios planned • Model evaluation on: • PM • ozone • visibility sample domain

  13. CMAQ (Cont’d) Southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes July 11 - 19, 1999

  14. CMAQ (Cont’d) Southern Ontario - Hypothetical Power Plant Emissions July 11 - 19, 1999
