Modeling urban and regional aerosols—Development of the UCD Aerosol Module and implementation in CMAQ model
This paper presents a mechanistic, fully dynamic, internally mixed, sectional aerosol module, the UCD Aerosol Module, which evolves from the Aerosol Inorganic Model (AIM). The UCD Aerosol Module employs three gas-to-particle mass transport schemes, replacement, coupled and uncoupled, and simplified aerosol thermodynamics to predict gas–particle partitioning, aerosol phase state and water conten...
متن کاملModeling urban and regional aerosols—Application of the CMAQ-UCD Aerosol Model to Tampa, a coastal urban site
The University of California at Davis (UCD) aerosol module, an internally mixed, sectional aerosol model with dynamic mass transfer between the gas and particle phases, has been coupled to the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. This paper describes the application of the CMAQ-UCD model to simulate air quality in Tampa, a large city with a population of 2M on the west coast of Florid...
متن کاملAerosol Optical Properties over China from RAMS-CMAQ Model Compared with CALIOP Observations
The horizontal and vertical distributions of aerosol optical properties over China in 2013–2015 were investigated using RAMS (Regional Atmospheric Modeling System)-CMAQ (Models-3 Community Multiscale Air Quality) simulations and CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization) observations. To better understand the performance of the RAMS-CMAQ model over China, comparisons with the gro...
متن کاملA comparison of CMAQ-based aerosol properties with IMPROVE, MODIS, and AERONET data
[1] Evaluation of concentrations predicted by air quality models is needed to ensure that model results are compatible with observations. In this study aerosol properties derived from the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model-simulated aerosol mass concentrations are compared with routine data from NASA satellite-borne Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor aboard ...
متن کاملA comprehensive performance evaluation of MM5-CMAQ for the summer 1999 southern oxidants study episode, Part III: Diagnostic and mechanistic evaluations
As Part III of a comprehensive evaluation of CMAQ for the summer 1999 Southern Oxidants Study episode, the observed number (N), volume (V), surface area (S), and size distributions of accumulation-mode particles during the Aerosol Research Inhalation Epidemiological Study (ARIES) are used to evaluate CMAQ’s capability in reproducing PM size distributions. CMAQ underpredicts V, S, and geometric ...
