4 150 Daily Maximum 8-Hour Ozone over OTR Model (ppb) Observation (ppb) The scatter plot shows a performance for daily 8-hour maximum ozone for ozone season over OTR. Model performed well in capturing the observed ozone greater than 75 ppb. 4

5 Mean Bias (MB) for Daily Maximum 8-hr Ozone, April 15 October 30, AQS Monitors over OTC states. Higher bias occurred around coast areas. 5

6 Correlation Coefficient for Daily Maximum 8-hr Ozone, April 15 October 30, AQS Monitors over OTC states. 6

7 Time Series of Spatially Averaged Daily Maximum 8-hr Ozone April 15 October 30, All AQS Monitors within the OTC States DailyMax 8HR O3, Average over OTC AQS monitors AQS-8hrmax CMAQ-8hrmax-L2 # of Site: 215 State: OTC O3 (ppb) May June July Aug Sept Oct Date The timing of episodes is generally captured, but model prediction tends to be overestimated

8 Summary Overall the model performed well and was compatible to the previous 2002 SIP modeling. The 2007 platform level 2 still overpredicted observed ozone concentrations. Next will show the comparison for various species at Pfizer Lab, NY site. 8

9 120 Ozone Pfizer Lab, NY Obs CMAQ Concentration (ppb) Hour CMAQ captured the observed ozone diurnal variation and tended to overpredict the observed peak and underestimated observed morning and afternoon ozone. 9

10 Concentration (ppbc) Total NMHC Pfizer Lab, NY Obs CMAQ Compare with PAMS Total NMHC measurements. Lump PAMS NMHC according to CB05 chemistry. CMAQ overpredicted morning and afternoon observed value Hour 10

11 Isoprene Pfizer Lab, NY Obs CMAQ Double peaks feature in CMAQ are not in the Observed. Concentration (ppbc) Hour 11

12 300 NOx Pfizer Lab, NY Obs CMAQ Concentration (ppb) Hour CMAQ overpredicted NOx at Pfizer Lab monitor. 12

13 25 SO2 Pfizer Lab, NY Obs CMAQ 20 Concentration (ppb) Hour For SO2, CMAQ captured the observe diurnal but higher than observed values. 13

14 2500 CO Pfizer Lab, NY Obs CMAQ 2000 Concentration (ppb) Hour 14

16 Level 2 Screening Runs Base Case Scenario 4 Case 48% NOx and 23% VOC Reduction Bounding Case 68% NOx and 23% VOC Reduction Bounding Case For bounding runs, reductions were applied uniformly to all sectors and entire modeling domain For scenario 4 run: Domain-wide NOx reductions on point (65%) and on on-read (70%) sectors, domain-wide 30% VOC reductions on point and on-road sectors. Extra 5% NOx reduction on OTR only 16

17 Scenario 4 Approximates OTC s recommendations for onroad mobile and EGUs Uses best available 2020 data except where noted Domain-Wide NO X Reductions Point: 65% from 2007 Estimate of CSAPR 1 & CSAPR 2 Onroad: 70% from 2007 Estimate of Tier 2 fleet turnover & Tier 3 in 2017 Domain-Wide VOC Reductions 30% EGU & On-road sectors from 2007 OTR Only: Extra 5% NO X 17

19 Relative Ozone Reductions N48/V30 (10% Less) Scenario 4 N68/V30 (10% More) -3% 3% 9% 15% 21% 27% 33% Ozone reductions from Scenario 4 run generally between 15 and 25% from the base case NO X focused emission reductions show less benefit for urban core areas 19

20 Observed 8-Hr Daily Maximum Ozone DVC (Average of 05-07, 06-08, and DV) Estimated DVF Scenario Level 2 Platform. (DVC x RRF) 20

21 Differences (in ppb) Scenario 4 to 10% More NOx Reduction The benefit of the Scenario 4 to the less NO X (N48V23) reduction was in the inner OTR region With further NO X reduction (N68V23) from Scenario 4, would show larger benefit in the coast and west of New York areas with dense emission

22 2007 platform applications Carnegie Mellon University used 2007 platform to study oil and gas emission. NYS used 2007 platform to modeling Marcellus Shale emission. Model SO2 background. 22

23 Next Step Update emission inventories - MARAMA version 3 inventory and 2007 emission from other RPOs. Time-variant boundary conditions base on Geos_Chem global model. 23
