3 Introduction and Objectives Source: www.ipcc..ch

4 Cont. Forward: Climate change induced by emissions, land use modifications, and other human activities Inverse: Of recent interest is how climate change might potentially impact regional air quality, e.g. 45-50 years from now. In addition, how climate change might affect control strategies of emissions. Focus: Temperature increase Ozone (O3) Fine Particulate Matter (here, ASO4 = ASO4I + ASO4J)

5 Method Preliminary study: Climate change due to an uniform increase in temperature Off-line perturbation: Meteorology: +3 K in mean temperature Emissions: Run SMOKE using perturbed meteorology 3 Cases: 1) Base case 2) Direct case: Perturbed Meteorology & Base Emissions 3) Emission-Induced (i.e. indirect) case: Perturbed Meteorology & Perturbed Emissions Sensitivity to emissions by brute-force method

12 Time Series of O3: Atlanta

13 Time Series of ASO4: Atlanta

14 Sensitivity of O3 to NOx Base Direct Emission-Induced

15 Sensitivity of O3 to VOC Base Direct Emission-Induced

16 Summary Effects of climate change due to an temperature increase studied Various emissions: Sensitive to temperature Change (from base case) in O3 and ASO4 levels in both direct and emission- induced cases: Fair to significant Sensitivities of O3 to NOx and VOC in all the three cases: Different but similar in both spatial pattern and magnitude Implication: Current emissions controls still robust and applicable for the future Future work: Use downscaled meteorological inputs from a global climate model to drive future scenarios Incorporate emissions from Canada and Mexico in modeling Use DDM (Direct Decoupled Method) for sensitivity calculation Consider more gaseous and aerosol species
