Aircraft Emissions’ Contributions to Organic Aerosols in a Regional Air Quality Model using the Volatility Basis Set
A framework that employs the Volatility Basis Set (VBS) within the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) was applied to predict organic aerosol concentrations from aircraft emissions. This framework was further expanded to include the formation of secondary organic aerosols from semi and intermediate volatile organic compounds which are traditionally missing from emission inventories us...
متن کاملA global perspective on aerosol from low-volatility organic compounds
Global production of organic aerosol from primary emissions of semivolatile (SVOCs) and intermediate (IVOCs) volatility organic compounds is estimated using the global chemical transport model, GEOS-Chem. SVOC oxidation is predicted to be a larger global source of net aerosol production than oxidation of traditional parent hydrocarbons (terpenes, isoprene, and aromatics). Using a prescribed rat...
متن کاملOnline measurements of the emissions of intermediate- volatility and semi-volatile organic compounds from aircraft
A detailed understanding of the climate and air quality impacts of aviation requires measurements of the emissions of intermediate-volatility and semi-volatile organic compounds (I/SVOCs) from aircraft. Currently both the amount and chemical composition of aircraft I/SVOC emissions remain poorly characterized. Here we characterize I/SVOC emissions from aircraft, using a novel instrument for the...
متن کاملModeling organic aerosols in a megacity: comparison of simple and complex representations of the volatility basis set approach
The Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem) is modified to include a volatility basis set (VBS) treatment of secondary organic aerosol formation. The VBS approach, coupled with SAPRC-99 gas-phase chemistry mechanism, is used to model gas-particle partitioning and multiple generations of gas-phase oxidation of organic vapors. In addition to the detailed 9-species...
متن کاملModels-3 Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model aerosol component 1. Model description
[1] The aerosol component of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model is designed to be an efficient and economical depiction of aerosol dynamics in the atmosphere. The approach taken represents the particle size distribution as the superposition of three lognormal subdistributions, called modes. The processes of coagulation, particle growth by the addition of mass, and new particle fo...
