1 Developments in operational air quality forecasting at the Met Office Paul Agnew Reading Air Pollution Seminar 9 th July 2009
2 Met Office air quality modellers Nick Savage, Claire Witham, Carlos Ordonez, Lucy Davis, Mark Weeks, Robert Thorpe, Paul Agnew Developing 2 air quality forecast models: NAME AQUM
3 Air Quality Modelling at the Met Office Met Office provides the BBC national AQ forecast Current provision: versatile and reliable forecasting system based on the NAME model Off-line Lagrangian dispersion model Range of scales and domains Sophisticated chemistry and aerosol modelling NAEI UK emissions (1kmx1km)
4 NAMEIII Ozone modelling developments Previous system: Used background Ozone (O 3 ) concentrations derived from the global STOCHEM model Under-predicted O 3 (not used operationally) Full magnitude of peaks in O 3 not captured New system: More computational power available Uses a particles everywhere approach Vast improvements in forecast O 3 concentrations
5 NAMEIII Air Quality - Particles Everywhere Approach Ozone is now carried on particles This requires particles to be everywhere in model domain Background concentrations implemented for O 3,CO and PM10. Initial conditions: Allows model to start with particles everywhere to represent background concentration Boundary conditions: Ensures a constant influx of background levels at the edges of model domain Sample O 3 fields output (pollution index values)
6 NAMEIII Air Quality - Nesting of domains Coarse-resolution (approx 50km) AQ domain run over most of Europe. Concentrations for key chemical species output and used as boundary conditions for highresolution (approx 8km) AQ domain over UK Air Quality model domains High-resolution boundary boxes
7 AQ modelling in the Unified Model: AQUM The UM is an Eulerian model, offering a number of advantages: On-line modelling, which allows: closer integration of meteorology and chemistry availability of wider range of meteorological fields to chemistry parameterisations Incorporation of lateral boundary fluxes from a global model Use of the operational framework of the UM Potential for including feedbacks between composition and meteorology Influence of composition on radiation, cloud physics and visibility forecasting An ozone field from an AQUM case study
8 Lateral boundary pollutant fluxes Ozone episode across the SE of the UK. 19th - 24th of June 2005, 7 AURN stations with at least one hourly average > 180 μgm -3 (HIGH)
9 Near Real Time Verification Routine verification against surface observations from the UK Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN) Use of data from Remote, Rural, Suburban and Urban Background sites Measurements of O3, NO2, NO, CO, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5 Quick method of checking forecast on a daily basis
10 Near Real Time Verification
11 Near Real Time Verification
12 Looking ahead.. Near/Medium term AQUM regional air quality forecast lateral boundary conditions for city level forecasts NAME city level forecasts Medium/Long term Combined Eulerian-Lagrangian modelling system with NAME embedded within the UM
