2 Objectives Emission controls in the U.S. have lead to significant reductions in air pollution, but many regions in the country still experience levels of pollutants above national health standards Average number of days (%) during May-Sep and when the 8-hour ozone NAAQS of 75 ppbv was exceeded. (EPA Monitoring Network)
3 Objectives There is growing recognition that development of optimal control strategies for key pollutants (O 3, PM2.5) requires assessment of potential future climate conditions and their influence on the attainment of air quality objectives
4 Δ Surface O 3 (%) over CA Steiner et al., 2006 Objectives There is growing recognition that development of optimal control strategies for key pollutants (O 3, PM2.5) requires assessment of potential future climate conditions and their influence on the attainment of air quality objectives Global trop. O 3 Burden (Young et al., 2013) Tai et al., 2012 Eastern U.S. (Hogrefe et al., 2004) Increased temperatures & stagnation events Changes in clouds and solar insolation Increased methane enhanced O 3 background Feedbacks of climate on biogenic & fire emissions Changes in anthropogenic emissions
5 Objectives There is growing recognition that development of optimal control strategies for key pollutants (O 3, PM2.5) requires assessment of potential future climate conditions and their influence on the attainment of air quality objectives Limitations of past studies: Coarse resolution Limited number of years Wu et al., 2008 Courtesy: NOAA
6 Objectives High Resolution Regional Chemistry-Climate Simulations Future changes in weather and air quality over North America Effects of changing emissions and changing climate on AQ Feedbacks between chemistry and climate Differences in climate metrics when downscaling from global or larger scale simulations with different physics Sensitivity of predictions to initial conditions NSF EASM - Developing a Next-Generation Approach to Regional Climate Prediction at High Resolution (PI Greg Holland) NCAR ASD - Accelerated Scientific Discovery Proposal 2012 (PI Gabriele Pfister)

33 Conclusions and Next Steps Reducing surface Ozone over the U.S. can be achieved by strong emission reductions, while the impacts of climate act to increase surface ozone by 2050 in parts due to increased temperature, solar radiation and stagnation events and higher background levels. Albeit biases in absolute values, global and regional models predicts similar changes on the larger scale. Locally, however, differences can be significant. Much more to look into: Future Changes in Air Quality Impacts of Climate and Emissions Future Changes in Climate and Weather Extreme Events Dynamical Downscaling of Meteorology and Chemistry Chemistry-Climate Feedbacks Sensitivity to Initial Conditions etc. etc. etc.
