With inputs from: Walter Di Nicolantonio and Alessandra Cacciari (CGS/CNR)

What is the impact of BCs?

Test:
CTRL = reference run
NOBC = run w/ BC=0
Results for Ozone:
• Influence of BC expands from boudaries to the center in about 10 days
• BC contribute to a background of 50-60 ppbv
• Importance of BC depends on local photochemistry activity
Using GEOS-Chem hourly output for Chimere Boundary Conditions
• GEOS-Chem v. 8-01-02 • GEOS-4, 4°x5° 30 levs • Dust emissions: scheme implemented
by Duncan et al. [2007], with DEAD emissions
• Saharan emissions reduced by a factor of 3 following Generoso et al. [2008]

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
Conclusions on preliminary results: • Regional ozone simulation not really sensitive to BC details • Regional PM simulation very sensitive to Saharan dust events interesting to account for “natural” PM10 excedances
Follow ups of this work: • Comparison with ground data with PM speciation info (e.g. separate contribution from dust) • Comparison with AERONET: AOD at other wavelengths? • Test higher GEOS-Chem resolution (2°x2.5°) • More episodes and statistics on the longer term
