Code Structure
4
Building a new application from scratch
  • Download all source codes and files
  • Make model domain files. This can be complicated
    if domain outside Europe (atmosphere-biosphere
    interface).
  • Build emission files
  • Build meteorological files (MM5 or other)
  • Optimize by testing options

5
Model domain files
  • Europe ? not russia, not Scandinavia
  • Use the prepdomains interface as a first attempt.
    Then possibly replace the biogenic emissions,
    landuse
  • Outside Europe
  • Construct landuse independently from GLCF or
    anything else
  • Construct biogenic emission potentials or provide
    a file with hourly biogenic emissions in the
    required format.
  • Change Bcalbio.f for growing season if necessary,
    change DEPO_PARS if necessary

6
Dealing with meteorology
  • Using MM5
  • Now MM5 interface quite general, MM5 domain must
    include CHIMERE domain
  • Changes in MM5 V3.6 recommended (V3.7 not
    tested) see website.
  • Define MM5 domain, compute TERRAIN, run MM5 and
    provide a COORD_MM5ltdomgt file in meteo dir
    (utility program).
  • Using another model
  • Provide an interface giving mandatory and
    possibly optional variables interpolated
    horizontaly to the CHIMERE grid, a METINFOS file
    for options.
  • Add lines in the top script to call this interface

7
Dealing with anthropic emissions
  • Use the existing interface and build ASCII
    monthly emission data files with exactly the same
    format as specified for 3 day types, for the
    MELCHIOR primary species (file ANTHROPIC).
    Example EMEP interface soon available on website.
  • Provide an interface that gives hourly MELCHIOR
    species emissions (VOC aggregation necessary, no
    standard procedure). Change the calling
    sequence in the top script.

8
Optimization
  • CHIMERE, like any other CTM, is NOT a plug and
    play tool.
  • Test various options recalculation of PBL
    height, u, cloud attenuation using RH or CLW.
  • Care must be taken for dust emission, due to high
    sensitivity to soil water. Testing needed, first
    without dust emission, then with and tuning of
    constants in Bcalbio.f may be necessary for some
    regions.
  • Use (or not) the emission layer option for
    comparing with more traffic stations .

9
Bio
  • 1997 5 box model for Paris
  • 1998 3 layers, 6km grid for Paris
  • 1999 3 layers, continental scale
  • 2000 First forecasts over Europe
  • 2002 Aerosols
  • 2003 More physics, 8 layers, interface AVNMM5
  • 2004 Erosion, saharan dust boundary conditions
    with GOCART/NASA
  • 2005 Aerosol/GP merged, Sea salt, improved dry
    deposition

10
Recent developments
  • Merging of aerosol and gas phase versions
  • Dry deposition from Emberson et al. (2000)
  • Aerosol changes, species change, dust emission,
    sea salt in test.
  • Meteorological interface, minor changes/options

11
Dry deposition
  • Use of the Emberson et al (2000) surface
    resistance model, the multiplicative moldel for
    O3 surface conductance in src/Bdepvel.f

                        max                    
 
Takes into account temperature, radiation,
phenology, growth, relative humidity, soil water
potentially.
12
Aerosols
  • V200501G New species list ASOA and BSOA
    grouped, DUST added, SALT for inert/active salt
    versions in test, not fully recommended yet
  • V200410A 1.Boundary conditions. 2.Dust biogenic
    emissions from local erosion, resuspension.

Aerosol Boundary Conditions
From GOCART NASA model
PM10 at the spanishZarra EMEP Station
14
Dust local emission
Adapted from White (1979), Marticorena and
Bergametti (1995)
  • Depends on the saltation friction velocity us,
    the threshold velocity (depends on soil water).
    Does not depend on land use.
  • Highly sensitive to soil water, needs testing

PM10 Increase for Summer 2003
15
Resuspension
Adapted from Loosmore (2003)
Bulk formula. Depends on soil water, friction
velosity. Also highly sensitive to SW.
SUMMER Rural S Rural N All
Base Model 0.53 0.51 0.56
With bound. Dust 0.66 0.53 0.61
With erosion 0.67 0.56 0.62
With resuspension 0.66 0.64 0.68
16
Meteorology
  • V200501G MM5 interface problems fixed (now
    general interface).
  • Problems with recalculation of u, PBL height now
    fixed.
  • Urban corrections, in compensation of the lack of
    anthropogenic heat fluxes. Minimal PBL over urban
    area (150m for Paris), additional flux (50W/m2).
    Work to be done in MM5 itself.
  • Bad UHI in MM5 Changes to V3.6 proposed by Liu
    in MM5.
