• 1. Introduction

Our institute (Frontier Research Center for Global Change) mainly focused on global change issues, and the result of two models (CHASER and FRCGC/UCI) are contributed to IPCC AR4. Short-time forecast is also an important topic, and we developed global version in 2002, and are developing regional version since 2006.

• 2. Global Chemical Weather Forecast System
• 7-day forecast was offered everyday at PEACE-A and PEACE-B

campaign period (6 Jan. to 23 Jan., 2002 and 21 Apr. to 17 May, 2002, respectively) for the decision of flight course.

• To compare the model results with aircraft and/or ground-based
• bservations.
• To evaluate the inter-continental transport of chemical species

(e.g., Europe→Asia, Asia→North America, North America→Europe).

• To offer air-quality information to the public via WWW and so
• n.

Outline of CHASER

• Global model (based on CCSR/FRCGC/NIES AGCM 5.7)
• It treats 54 chemical species, 94 gas-phase reactions, 25

photodissotiations, 4 liquid-phase reactions, and 1 heterogeneous reaction on the surface of sulfate aerosols

• Online coupling of the meteorological field and the transport of

chemical species

• Online coupling of radiation and the distribution of chemical species
• Horizontal resolution : T42 (about 300km x 300km)
• Vertical resolution: 32 layers (up to 45 km, and 1 km interval in the

free troposphere)

• Emission: mainly based on EDGAR and GEIA
• Biomass burning: parameterized by the hot spot data from AVHRR and ATSR
• Aircraft NOx: EDGAR
• Lightning NOx: Price and Rind (1992)

Budget analysis of CO over Japan

In winter, long-range transport plays an important role for the budget of CO over Japan. The fraction of China CO is also quite large.

Example of long-range transport of ozone precursors

Colored plumes denote the isosurface of pollutants (yellow: CO, green: NOx, and blue: SO2). The color of sea level is also denotes the surface ozone level. The transport of plumes from Europe to Asia can be seen. The transport of surface ozone from Asia to North America can be seen.

• 3. Regional-scale chemical weather forecasting
• 1. The main objective of “urban-scale chemical weather

forecast” project is:

• Offering daily forecast of ozone and other chemical species
• ver Kanto region by using high-resolution(3km?) CTM.
• 2. For this purpose, we are now developing a nested global/

regional chemical transport model based on CHASER and WRF/Chem.

WRF/Chem (regional model part)

1. Based on WRF-ARW version 2.1.2 2. 2-domain nesting (15-km resolution for Japan and 5-km resolution for Kanto) 3. RADM2 chemistry with aerosols 4. initial and lateral boundary for chemical species from CHASER (every 3 hour) 5. initial and lateral boundary for meteorology from JMA/MSM (every 3 hour) 6. Emission: EAGrid 2000 with 1km resolution over Japan. Hourly, weekly (automobile

• nly), an monthly variation are taken into account.

7. Emissions of other species in Asia is taken from REAS, and emissions in other regions taken from EDGAR20000. 1. Horizontal resolution: about 2.8 degree x 2.8 degree 2. Vertical resolution: 32 layers up to 45km 3. Meteorological field: driven by NCEP ds083.2

Change of the distribution of correlation coefficient caused by the difference of met. field (251 stations in Domain 2)

The correlation coefficient is 0.7 or higher at about 70% of all stations, even if the 06-11hr forecasted meteorology field was applied. In 00-05hr forecast and analysis meteorology, the initial condition of meteorological field is same. It seems the impact of lateral boundary is not so large compared to that

• f initial condition for the short-range forecast.

• The global-regional nested model well captured ozone increase events,

and the correlation coefficient between forecasted and observed ozone showed 0.7 or higher at 70% of air-quality monitoring stations over Kanto region.

• Intra-continental transport of pollutants from China plays an important

role for the air quality over Japan, even in summer.

Summary

• The global model CHASER well captured the transport of ozone

precursors corresponding with synoptic scale weather.

• Convective transport seems to be important over Southern China in

spring.

• Long-range transport should be taken into account to reproduce CO

distribution, especially in winter.
