Reactive nitrogen in Mexico City and its relation to ozone-precursor sensitivity: results from photochemical models
We use results of a 3-D photochemistry/transport model for ozone formation in Mexico City during events in 1997 to investigate ambient concentrations of reactive nitrogen in relation to ozone-precursor sensitivity. Previous results from other locations suggest that ratios such as O3/NOy and H2O2/HNO3 might provide measurement-based indicators for NOx-sensitive or VOC-sensitive conditions. Mexic...
متن کاملModeling of Mexico City Air Pollution and Outflow with WRF-Chem
We use a newly developed regional chemical/transport model (WRF-Chem) to study the air pollutions in mega cities and their effect on surrounding areas. The model is based on a state of the art regional dynamical/transport model, the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model developed by multiple institutes (including NOAA, NCAR, etc.). The detailed description of WRF-Chem is given by Grell et al...
متن کاملOxidative capacity of the Mexico City atmosphere – Part 2: A ROx radical cycling perspective
A box model using measurements from the Mexico City Metropolitan Area study in the spring of 2003 (MCMA-2003) is presented to study oxidative capacity (our ability to predict OH radicals) and ROx (ROx=OH+HO2+RO2+RO) radical cycling in a polluted (i.e., very high NOx=NO+NO2) atmosphere. Model simulations were performed using the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCMv3.1) constrained with 10 min average...
متن کاملOxidative capacity of the Mexico City atmosphere – Part 1: A radical source perspective
A detailed analysis of OH, HO2 and RO2 radical sources is presented for the near field photochemical regime inside the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). During spring of 2003 (MCMA-2003 field campaign) an extensive set of measurements was collected to quantify timeresolved ROx (sum of OH, HO2, RO2) radical production rates from dayand nighttime radical sources. The Master Chemical Mechanism...
متن کاملCharacterizing ozone production and response under different meteorological conditions in Mexico City
Photochemistry in polluted atmospheres, particularly the formation of ozone (O3), depends not only on pollutant emissions, but also on meteorological conditions. In this study a 3-D chemical transport model CAMx was employed to investigate the O3 formation and its response to emissions reduction under three distinctively different meteorological conditions in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area d...
