9 The presentations by both members of the panel and by local participants brought up a wide variety of topics 1. Coastal clouds in California 2. Nighttime Mixing in Houston and Atlanta 3. Winds for forest fire smoke transport in Georgia 4. Snow cover in Spring in West (photolysis and land surface energetics) 5. Tropospheric/Stratospheric exchange for background ozone in the Pacific Northwest 6. Topographic effects on 8 hour standards 7. Urban/Rural bias in NO2 which may be related to physical atmosphere in Mid-Atlantic 8. Representativeness of SIP Meteorology in Georgia

12 Based on Importance to Physical Atmosphere and Potential for Use of Satellite Data Selected Three Major Themes 1. Clouds 2. Stable Boundary Layer 3. Land Surface

Frequent surface wind-speed high-bias Similarity theory for surface layer; e.g. Ulrike Pechinger et al.

18 Ramifications Ted Russell Significantly changes model performance Less effect on peak ozone Still non-zero Major effect on primary/pseudo-primary species concentrations EC, CO, NO 2, PM 2.5 New standards raise importance of NO 2. Use of models in health effects research raise importance of bias, diurnal variation
19 Brian Lamb Cold pool modeling from Avey, Utah DEQ) Routine application of prognostic meteorological models including the Fifth-Generation NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5) and Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) with a variety of different physics options, initialization input, vertical and horizontal resolutions, and nudging approaches have failed to replicate the degree and persistence of stagnant meteorological conditions. (Baker et al., 2011, ES&T). AIRPACT Forecasts don t capture elevated wintertime PM2.5 levels stagnant valley meteorology woodstove emissions

30 Too Many Options Not Enough Information on Performance!
31 Kiran Alapaty It Rains Cats & Dogs in a Clear Sky!!! (for convective clouds in WRF) Radiative effects were not included for WRF subgrid scale clouds.
32 Inconsistency in Cloud Handling in Models 1. MM5/WRF do not consider sub-grid clouds in radiation calculations. 2. Clouds in MM5/WRF not used in CMAQ (clouds rediagnosed) for wet chemistry mixing. 3. CMAQ photolysis rates not based on CMAQ clouds but on MM5/WRF liquid water profiles. These inconsistencies make correction difficult!
33 Satellite data can be used as a metric to test model cloud agreement
34 Path Forward 1. Insert satellite measures of radiative properties directly in models. Use satellite derived measures of insolation based on satellite clouds rather than modeled insolation using model clouds (McNider et al. 1995) Use satellite cloud transmittance in photolysis calculations (Biazar et al. 2007) 2. Improve physical parameterizations using satellite data as performance metric Correct model radiation (Alapaty et al. 2012) Connect PBL and cloud schemes (Angevine 2012) 3. Assimilate satellite data to improve the location and timing of cloud Provide dynamical cloud support and cloud clearing (McNider and Biazar 2012)

38 Land Surface
39 Factors controlling surface temperatures are complex and many models have created complex land use models that in the end require many ill defined parameters.
40 Land surface Top-level soil temperature and moisture BLLAST, 30 June 2011, 14Z
41 Air Quality Simulations for SIPs Are Retrospective Studies Allows use of observations to constrain forecast models Simple Surface Models Constrained by Observations 1. Pleim Xiu Scheme 2. McNider et al / Norman et al (ALEXI)

47 Satellite Data Can Provide Many More Opportunities for Data Skin Temperature Assimilation (GOES ~5 km and MODIS ~1 km). Land characteristics especially in Eastern U.S. fine scale variations. Satellite Observation Assimilation Control

49 Path Forward 1. Use satellite skin temperatures in Pleim Xiu scheme rather than National Weather Service 2 m temperatures 2. Test McNider et al. scheme using new corrections (use of model skin temperatures and aerodynamic temperatures) suggested by Mackaro
