14 Atlanta - 2007 July Hourly Ozone
v4.7.1 vs v5.0.1 vs new IC/BC vs LTNG NO July 1st – 9th Model performance for hourly ozone is similar for the three CMAQ v5.0.1 sensitivity runs. Nighttime differences between v5.0.1 and v4.7.1 runs reflect changes in the mixing in v5.0.1. Daytime differences are much smaller between all the model runs. July 14th – 21st

27 Summary of Findings Updates to mixing in v5.0.1 produced large effects in model predictions Mostly at nighttime Overall, new BCs and Lightning NO emissions produced small changes in model predictions substantial changes at isolated locations and times (sporadic) Future work will evaluate WRF v3.3 meteorology 20 meter 1st layer thickness Bi-directional flux for fertilizer NH3 emissions Wind-blown dust emissions
