1 Atmospheric models Chem 55 - Christoph Knote - NCAR Spring 203 based on: Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry, D. Jacob, Princeton Press, 999 Prof. Colette Heald s course total change in over time Continuity equation dt = F + E + P L D Nothing is ever lost. The change of a quantity over time is the net result of sources minus sinks. Source and sink terms depend on the application. 2
2 total change in over time Transport dt = F + E + P L D transport Example ( == water) inflow Fin (inflow) - Fout (outflow) in this example outflow 3 total change in over time Transport dt = F + E + P L D transport Example ( == water) + Hoover dam inflow before inflow after (>>0) 0 outflow outflow 4
3 Clicker question Did the transport term F (on average) change after construction of the Hoover dam? A. yes, it is now > 0.0 B. yes, it is now < 0.0 C. no D.yes, it is now == 0.0 E. I don t know 5 Clicker question Did the transport term F (on average) change after construction of the Hoover dam? A. yes, it is now > 0.0 B. yes, it is now < 0.0 C. no D.yes, it is now == 0.0 E. I don t know C no (on average), because the reservoir would overflow if the term is still positive once the reservoir is full. transport is always: Fin - Fout 6
4 total change in over time Emissions = F + E + P dt emissions L D based on emission factors and activity rates: E = EF A = 368 kg CO2 emitted Example: 368 g CO2 / km biogenic animals (CH4, NH3) plants (VOCs, debris) algae (DMS).000 km driven geogenic dust, sea salt (aerosols) volcanos (SO2) lightning (NOx) anthropogenic cars, aircrafts, industry (CO2, NOx,VOCs) 7 Emission inventories global regional national METEOTEST continental TNO/MACC Belastungskarten/NO2/2000/4_3_2000.jpg different datasets on different grids for certain species, multiple (overlapping) datasets for a single species C2SM Center for Climate NWP seminar - MeteoSchweiz - Christoph Knote - christoph.knote@empa.ch Systems Modeling 8

(additionally to uncert. in chemistry, emissions, removal) 22
12 Lagrangian models follow individual trajectories deal with uncertainties in puff models: release large number of boxes + computationally efficient - no mixing between individual boxes (chemistry!) - statistical undersampling away from source 23 release at Trinidad Head (CA) Example residence time x emissions = sensitivity adapted from Figure 3 in Cooper, O.
