5 Modelling set up Andersson, Engardt & Langner – future surface ozone in Europe 5 Dynamical downscaling Global climate change ECHAM5 Regional climate change RCA3 Regional CTM MATCH CO2 emission scenario: A1B Period 1961-2100 Constant or varying precursor emissions boundary concentration

6 3-dimensional transport and chemistry model (MATCH) Boundary conc, parameters etc. 3-dimensional meteorological fields Emissions Land use CTM: MATCH Eulerian three dimensional chemistry transport model ~60 chemical species Transport (advection and mixing) Natural emissions (sea salt, isoprene) Deposition Chemistry (photo-, wet-, thermal-, ~130 reactions in kpp) Particle components: sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, ec, oc, (anthr) dust, sea salt Input data 3D met, every 3-6 hours Emissions Boundary and initial concentrations Deposition velocities Etc… Andersson and Bergström - scarp 2.2 6

7 Magnuz Engardt 7 What’s currently missing in MATCH?  Vegetation affected by climate change  Air Quality’s impact on climate  Some PM emissions and dynamics not included in MATCH  MATCH does not consider heavy metals, POPs, greenhouse gases, … MATCH is a mass based model we are currently including more sophisticated aerosol dynamic treatment of particles but this, updated, model is not included in this study

8  Dynamical downscaling of global climate model over Europe by RCA3  Input to MATCH every 6 hours (T, CC, QML, PREC, U, V, surface fields, …) RCA3 (Samuelsson et al 2011, Kjellström et al 2011)  Full description of atmosphere and interations with land surface  Land surface model (Samuelsson et al 2006)  Lake model, PROBE (Ljungemyr et al 1996)  SST and SI conditions are prescibed (this set up)  Here: 0.44 km (rotated lat-lon) over Europé  4month spin up  Transient calculation 1961-2100  Has been applied in numerous studies with numerous GCMs as input Climate data 8

20 Conclusions The effect of emission reductions in the RCP4.5 scenario on surface ozone has greater impact than climate change in the ECHAM5-RCA3-MATCH scenario on European surface ozone due to climate change. Interhemispheric transport has the potentail to become an important factor in the future, especially for average concentrations in northern Europe, but also for daily max concentrations.
