Ozone and atmospheric transport processes

Atmospheric transport of ozone between Southern and Eastern Asia.

This study describes the effect of pollution transport between East Asia and South Asia on tropospheric ozone (O3) using model results from the Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (TF HTAP). Ensemble mean O3 concentrations are evaluated against satellite-data and ground observations of surface O3 at four stations in India. Although modeled surface O3 concentrations are 1020ppb ...

Evaluation of Atmospheric Processes for Ozone Formation from Vehicle Emissions

The factors involved in evaluations of effects of volatile organic compound (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen emissions from motor vehicles on ground-level ozone are reviewed. The chemical basis for ozone formation, the computer models and chemical mechanisms used for predicting ozone impacts, and methods for quantifying differences among VOCs in their ozone impacts, are discussed. It is recommended...

A parallel spectral model for atmospheric transport processes

This paper describes a parallel implementation of a grand challenge problem: global atmospheric modeling. The novel contributions of our work include: (1) a detailed investigation of opportunities for parallelism in atmospheric transport based on spectral solution methods, (2) the experimental evaluation of overheads arising from load imbalances and data movement for alternative parallelization...
