Dear teachers, I used CMAQ5.2 to simulate the ozone concentration data in China from June 1 to 10, 2020. China’s MEIC list was used for emission sources.The simulated ozone data is not reasonable (the spatial distribution and data are not reasonable).
At the same time, I also made the zero emission inventory into the CMAQ model to simulate the ozone emission on June 1, 2020.
The ozone data obtained from the two simulations are not very different, which is something I am more confused about. The zero emission inventory should simulate ozone concentrations close to the background value, but why is this result?
Spatial distribution of ozone: (MEIC inventory on the left, zero emission inventory on the right)
I checked the following:
First, Does CMAQ read emission sources correctly?I looked at the LOG file of the two runs for the emis path and the model should read the corresponding emissions respectively.
Second, I checked the initial and boundary values:The ozone concentration in ICON file is 0.035 ppmv, and the ozone concentration in BCON file is 0.03-0.07 ppmv.
Third, is there a problem with the MEIC list? The following picture shows the spatial distribution of some compounds in EMIS.nc input into CMAQ. From the picture, the spatial distribution of these compounds is reasonable, and I don’t see any problem.
Fourth, compare with observed values: I randomly selected the ozone data of a dozen monitoring stations during the same period and roughly drew scatter plots. As shown in the figure, the ozone number I simulated was concentrated in the range of 65-70ug/m³ (the simulated ozone concentration of all grids was also in this range, which was obviously wrong). In addition, I simulated the ozone concentration data in January, also ranging from 60 to 70ug/m³, with no seasonal variation.
Is there any teacher who can help me look at my problem, which has been bothering me for a long time . Thank you very much for your answers!!!
