Motivation

  • Within the framework of Next Generation Global

Prediction System (NGGPS), the predictions with Global Forecast System built on GFDL Finite Volume Cube-Sphere (FV3) dynamical core (FV3GFS) are available for driving regional air quality model

  • To evaluate impact of meteorological inputs (e.g., global

model) on air quality predictions

  • To be a benchmark of verifying the FV3CMAQ inline

coupling system which is under development

  • To be a candidate of operational system in case the online

system can not meet the operational time requirement.

Summary

  • Ozone predictions

– Improve over WUS but slightly over-predicted over EUS – Overall performance of FV3GFS/CMAQ is competitive

  • PM2.5 predictions

– Under-predicted during daytime on wildfire active days (August, WUS) – PM2.5 predictions improved over EUS in Sept. and winter (needs to be confirmed)

  • Remaining issues and next steps

– Over-predicted PBL heights – Excluding cross-border transport of smoke from Canada – Too much mixing by FV3GFS TKE-based Eddy-Diffusivity Mass- Flux (EDMF) PBL scheme (?) – Stand Alone Regional FV3 or FV3-Nest (3-km)
