2 Pearl River Delta(PRD) Hong Kong

3 Monthly number of days with ( Visibility reporting < 8km & RH < 80% ) Visibility Report (11/1976 – 6/2004) Year Days / month

4 Visibility impairment associates with particulate matter (PM) level Sulfate takes up 30% of total PM concentration Total PM10: 43.9 ug/m3

5 Questions How much Hong Kong SO2, SO4 and EC are contributed from Hong Kong, PRD and beyond? What are the major source types affecting Hong Kong SO2, SO4 and EC levels? Where from? How do the pollutant levels vary from season to season?

6 MODELING SYSTEM MM5 v3.6 SMOKE 2.1 CMAQ v4.6

7 Nested Domains D1 to D4 (from 40.5km to 1.5km)

8 Meteorological model (MM5 v3.6) Physics Module Long Wave Radiation option: RRTM scheme Moisture option: Simple ice scheme Surface Layer option: Monin-Obukhov scheme Land Surface option: Noah land-surface model Planetary boundary layer option: MRF scheme Cumulus option: Grell scheme

9 Comparison between MM5 and observation

10 HK prevailing background wind directions 2004 July JanuaryApril October

11 EMISSIONS TRACE-P PRD SMOKE into TRACE-P + Biogenics SMOKE on MODIS

12 CMAQ 4.6 options yamo advection eddy vertical diffusion CBIV mechanism AE4 aerosol module Aqueous chemistry

13 Obs-sim comparison January, April, July, October 2004

14 Yuen Long, hourly observations No observations SULFATE July JanuaryApril October

17 A Way of Looking at Sulfate in Hong Kong....... Tagged Species Source Apportionment (TSSA) Developed by UC Riverside Modified CMAQ 4.5 with yamo and AE3

18 Tag species of interest in every region and every emission type. Each grid cell records species concentrations from each tag. SrcB, Region3 Tagged Species Source Apportionment SO2 SrcA, Region1 SO2 SrcA from Region1 SrcB from Region3 SrcC from Region1 (I,J) (I,J+1)(I,J-1)

19 Species to tag: SO2, SO4, EC Require to split (a)Emission categories (b)Emission regions

20 5 Emission Categories Point Source (Mostly Power Plants) PT OFMarine Source (Local Ferry, Riverboat, Ocean-going ships) OF Industrial Source AR MVOn-road Moving Vehicular Source MV Other Anthropogenic/Biogenic Source FW

21 SO2 Emis Others Marine Point Indust. On-road

22 Apart from Emission Categories.... Also Need to Tag Non-emission contributors..... Boundary Initial and Boundary Conditions

23 14 Emission Regions 1 2

24 HK SO2 in Hong Kong BCON

25 Power Plants SO2 Power Plants

26 Marine Sources SO2 Marine Sources

27 Sulfate in Hong Kong HK BCON

28 Power Plants Sulfate Power Plants

29 Marine Sources Sulfate Marine Sources

30 EC in Hong Kong HK BCON
