INTRODUCTION The 2003 Release of CMAQ featured many changes: - updated science - corrected implementations - efficiency enhancements - bug fixes Largest impacts involved the aerosol modeling, especially: - aerosol nitrate modeling updated with more recent science - secondary organic aerosols (SOA) modeling now allows for reversible semi-volatility Changes resulted in substantially lower concentrations of aerosol nitrates and SOAs bringing them more in line with observations.
INTRODUCTION In order to quantify these changes and characterize its over-all performance, the 2003 Release of CMAQ has been evaluated: Over two simulation periods: - Summer 1999 (four weeks) Winter 2002 (six weeks) Against observations from five networks: - IMPROVE CASTNet STN AIRS SEARCH Against modeled data from the 2002 Release.
CMAQ Simulation Attributes Emissions: Gas-phase emissions are based on the 1999 EPA NEI. Primary anthropogenic PM 2. 5 emissions are speciated. Mobile emissions are based on MOBILE 5 b. Biogenic emissions are based on BEIS 3. 11. Chemistry: SAPRC 99 gas-phase chemistry mechanism. Meteorology: Derived from MM 5 and processed through MCIP (2. 2). Resolution: Horizontal: Contiguous U. S. Domain. 32 km by 32 km grids(Summer) 36 km by 36 km grids (Winter) Vertical: Set on a sigma coordinate. 21 layers (Summer) 24 layers (Winter)

SUMMARY The 2003 Release of CMAQ featured many changes, the largest of which impacted: - aerosol nitrate - secondary organic aerosols (SOA) resulting in substantially lower concentrations of aerosol nitrates and SOAs bringing them more in line with observations. Other species continue to be simulated reasonably well: - majority of correlations are greater than 0. 70 - majority of model simulations are within 2: 1 - majority NMB within ± 35% - majority NME less than 50% (depending on the specie and observational network. )
