1 WRAP CAMx-PSAT Source Apportionment Modeling Results Implementation Workgroup Meeting August 29, 26

2 Source Apportionment Technique Regional gridded photochemical CAMx air quality aerosol model with PM Source Apportionment Technology (PSAT) Similar to CMAQ TSSA method used in AoH Phase I report, best available modeling analysis technique for source apportionment PSAT completed for 2 cases: Plan2c 2-4 average fire emissions, same time & place 2-3 CAMD sources monthly average SOx/NOx profiles by state Base18b rules on the books controls and growth Tracked sources of sulfate and nitrate Tracking organic carbon too computationally intensive

3 Organic Carbon Source Apportionment PSAT work does not include treatment of primary & secondary organic aerosols: CMAQ already completed includes 3 OC species primary organic aerosols anthropogenic secondary organic aerosols biogenic secondary organic aerosols Analysis of these species for the various existing model runs will provide additional information on OC apportionment

4 Source Apportionment Modeling White paper describing CAMx PSAT modeling: Table 1. Benchmarks for PSAT computational costs for each PM species. Run time is for one day (1/2/22) of the WRAP 36-km domain. Species Number of species Tracers RAM Memory Disk Storage per day Run Time with 1 CPU no OMP Run Time with 2 CPU OMP SO GB 1.1 GB 4.7 hr/day 4 hr/day NO GB 2.6 GB 13.2 hr/day Not tested SO4 & NO3 combined GB 3.3 GB 16.8 hr/day Not tested SOA GB Not tested Not tested Not tested Primary PM species GB 3.

20 PSAT: Errors/Uncertainties Additional errors have been discovered in the emissions inventories: Base18b non-wrap EGU emissions were underestimated. PM2.5 emissions in the WRAP road dust inventory. RNC is evaluating the effects of these errors.

21 Effects of non-wrap EGU error July August September

22 Effect on PSAT results of non-wrap EGU error Air quality prediction effects on WRAP states are relatively small. Small overestimate of base case progress in for eastern tier of WRAP region states. Base18b sufficient as starting point for development of regional haze control strategies Will correct non-wrap region EGU error in Control18 series of modeling simulations in 27
