Outline

  • regulatory standards
  • sensitivity methods
  • adjoint response of policy metrics:
  • attainment
  • exposure
slide-3
SLIDE 3

Ozone Standards

threshold-based standards are devised to protect public health

  • design value = fourth-highest concentration measured in a

year, averaged over 3 years, not to exceed 75 ppb (65 in Canada)

  • daily maximum 8-hr average
slide-4
SLIDE 4

Attainment

all locations have equal weighting locations are weighted by population e.g. mortality, health “damages”

versus Exposure Metrics

slide-5
SLIDE 5

…and thus different responses to emission controls

slide-6
SLIDE 6

An ideal regulatory approach would differentiate between source impacts

preferential targeting of the most “damaging” emissions

Adjoint Cost Functions

1. “probabilistic” attainment metric 2. exposure metric

Possible Cost Functions

  • 4th-highest simulated concentration
  • probability of non-attainment
  • probability-weighted concentrations

Adjoint Cost Function (1)

Attainment

  • average design value (C4-highest > 65 ppb) in Canada & U.S.

𝐾 = 1 𝑂𝑗,𝑘 1 𝑄 𝑄𝑢𝐷𝑢

92 𝑢=1 𝑗,𝑘

Ct = simulated max 8-hr avg ozone concentration for day “t” 𝑄𝑢 = probability that 𝐷𝑢 is among the fourth-highest simulated concentrations 𝑄 = 𝑄𝑢

92 𝑢=1

Adjoint Cost Function (1)

Attainment

  • average design value (C4-highest > 65 ppb) in Canada & U.S.

𝐾 = 1 𝑂𝑗,𝑘 1 𝑄 𝑄𝑢𝐷𝑢

92 𝑢=1 𝑗,𝑘

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Adjoint Cost Function (2)

Exposure

  • short-term mortality in Canada & U.S.

𝐾 = 𝑁0 ∙ 𝑄𝑝𝑞 ∙ 𝑓𝛾∙𝐷

𝑗,𝑘

𝑁0 = non-accidental mortality rate 𝑄𝑝𝑞 = population 𝛾 = pollutant response coefficient, 0.0427% per ppb 𝐷 = max 8-hr avg ozone concentration

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Adjoint Cost Function (2)

Exposure

  • short-term mortality in Canada & U.S.

𝐾 = 𝑁0 ∙ 𝑄𝑝𝑞 ∙ 𝑓𝛾∙𝐷

Case Study

  • Gas-phase CMAQ adjoint (4.5.1)
  • North American domain
  • 36 km resolution
  • 34 vertical layers
  • July-Sept 2007

Attainment

10% NOx reduction → O3 design value

Exposure

10% NOx reduction → O3 mortality

Attainment vs. Exposure

Is there a way to directly account for population exposure in regulation?
