AirDART OverviewThe Environment Agency supports projects to develop and demonstrate the value of using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modelling system1 to inform Agency policy decisions. Of particular importance to the Agency is the management of regulated industrial emissions sources to develop a cost-effective strategy to meet pollutant-specific limit and target values for ambient pollutant concentrations set by legislative bodies. Previous projects encompass modelling of present and future concentrations of PM2.5 pollution under a number of scenarios which are of interest to the Environment Agency. This modelling provides projections out to 2020 of the contribution to ambient concentrations of PM2.5 of emissions from regulated industrial sources under the most likely emission scenarios.

Environment Agency supported projects include:

comparison of simple and advanced REgional MOdels (CREMO) estimates of PM2.5 reductions and future regulation scenarios using the CMAQ modelling

system

These have generated massive datasets, equivalent to several terabytes of data. The aim of AirDART is to make CMAQ, and other air quality model data more easily accessible by scientific and regulatory communities who can use the data in support of policy or research. It will make data available to those who do not have access to the technical computing environment required to run the models.

It is designed primarily as a data retrieval tool with simple visualisation to allow basic quality checking. Selected data can be downloaded to allow further analysis within a spread sheet programme such as Excel, with R statistical packages including openair or other specialised data analysis and visualisation tools.

At the beginning of the project it became apparent that to be of the greatest value the tool required flexibility and that it should:

allow selection of data for any latitude and longitude coordinates only allow choice of species and species combinations which are comprehensible. only include ground layer conditions provide simple graphs and maps for basic data quality checks, but not attempt development

of a data visualization or model evaluation tool ensure all data selected are accompanied by model metadata and have an option to

download the data as a file suitable for import into Excel. where possible use R for development provide interactive data retrieval sufficiently quickly so there is no need to return data files

by email. give consideration to utilisation of the tool within the wider modelling community

Data from AirDART are accessed by making selections on a webpage, which uses interactive data selection in order to extract, visualise and download data. AirDART is written in R - the R function that extracts data has been designed to work with the AirDART model data and as an independent function. Providing a tool for more specialised data requirements from CMAQ data is not included within AirDART.

AirDART can retrieve data from CMAQ air quality and deposition data for 2003, 2006 and 2020.

This first section of the guide outlines the types of data available and the second how to access it via AirDART.

Data Guide

The Environment Agency has supported projects to develop and demonstrate the potential to use CMAQ model in support of Agency policy decisions. CMAQ is designed to treat air quality in a manner adopting a ‘one atmosphere’ perspective that simultaneously addresses multiple pollutants gases, particulate matter (PM – including PM10 and PM2.5) in terms of atmospheric concentrations as well as their total deposition. The focus of the more recent project was PM2.5, AirDART will make available a range of modelled gas, PM and deposition data along with basic meteorological conditions and pollutant emissions.

This section provides a summary of data available via AirDART.

Model Scenarios The modelling projects encompass modelling of present and future concentrations of PM2.5 pollution under a number of scenarios which are of interest to the Environment Agency and research. This modelling provides projections out to 2020 of the contribution to ambient concentrations of PM2.5 of emissions from regulated industrial sources under the most likely emission scenarios.

Table 1 summarises the model scenarios available within AirDART, a complete description of the scenarios is in Appendix 2: Model Scenario Descriptions.

Data Types and VariablesData are accessed as separate data types for gas (µgm-3 and ppb), PM, deposition, emissions and meteorology. Details of the variable in each data type are listed in Appendix 1: List of variables. This is a subset of the full list of variables available from CMAQ and includes species and combination of species most frequently required. In some cases e.g. PM2.5 the variables are a combination of several CMAQ species these are shown in Table 4. A technical description of how the CMAQ variables are combined is available in the AirDART Data Requirements.

Spatial selectionLatitude and longitude are used to identify the point of interest. Time series data extract the data from the corresponding grid cell. Grid data extract in a 3x3 or 5x5 grid of cells centred on the selected location. Maps are produced for the whole area.

Time Period and SummariesThe data are available as hourly gridded data, however these are large files (up to 20GB) to speed data access the most common data subsets daily, monthly and yearly have been pre prepared e.g. daily maximum and hourly average. Maximum and hourly averages are calculated for gas and PM species, with period totals (sum) for deposition and emissions. Pre-calculating the summary files assures data consistency.

Meteorological data are generally associated with hourly data. Selected variables can be included in daily, monthly and yearly data subsets e.g. max temperature, mean temperature, total amount of rainfall (to be determined).

Data tables, graphs and maps generatedNot all tables, graphs and maps are suitable for all combinations of temporal and spatial selection. However all valid options produce a data file of the values to download for use in other data analysis tools. These are produce in two forms.

csv - comma separated values, suitable for importing into Excel rda – R data object, suitable for using in R and compatible with openair

Both files contain the data and a brief summary of the scenario and selected options. Data downloaded separately using the same spatial and temporal selections for can be combined later.

The webpage is arranged with the data selection on the left hand side and output in a series of output tabs on the right. Each tab displays different output (not all are valid for each selection).

Output header - shows the data selection and includes a description of the variable selected. Output data - shows the time series and grid numerical data with the option to download it as a

file. Output grid - a Google map showing the locations of the time series and grid data. Output map - shows mapped output for the whole area.

Worked example of using AirDART

The worked example is based on using the hourly data.

Time series

AirDART uses Time series as the default.

Move to the Output data tab, this shows the CO emission on 1/1/2006. Wind speed and direction are added to all time series data tables.

Change the date and emission species. In the selection panel change the start month to 2 and the model parameter to PM2.5 using the drop down box.

- Output data now shows PM2.5 value for 1/2/2006 - Output header has changed to reflect the new data. - NOTE the latitude and longitude refer to selection in the header and the centre of the cell in

data table.

Appendix 2: Model Scenario Descriptions

Model Scenario

UH001UH 2003 all emissions2003 all sources, Comparison of simple and advanced REgional MOdels (CREMO) project

Meteorology WRF v3.0.1.1The simulation utilized the NOAH LSM, Yonsei University (YSU) PBL scheme (Hong et al., 2006), the microphysics scheme by Thompson et al. (2004, 2006), Grell and Devenyi CuP scheme, and CAM3 radiation package (Collins et al., 2006). Initial and lateral BCs were provided by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts model. Outputs from the WRF simulations were preprocessed for input into CMAQ using v3.4.1 of the Meteorology-Chemistry Interface Processor (MCIP; Otte et al., 2005). FDDA were used to improve model performance. More specific details regarding the WRF simulations, including references for the various schemes used can be found in Chemel et al. (2010).

Air Quality Model

CMAQ v4.6

Model options employed include the CB05 chemical mechanism, the AERO4 aerosol module, the Asymmetric Cloud Model 2 (ACM2) PBL scheme (Pleim, 2007a,b). See Chemel et al. (2010) for details.

Boundary conditions

STOCHEM

Chemical initial and boundary conditions for the outer domain were derived from monthly mean concentrations, modelled by the UK Met Office Lagrangian chemistry-transport model STOCHEM (Collins et al., 2000), for the year 2000. See Chemel et al. (2010) for details.

Emissions Annual anthropogenic emissions data from the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP, Vestreng et al., 2005) for area sources using a horizontal resolution of 50 km and from the European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER, Pulles et al., 2007) for point sources were used for grid cells outside the UK. For the UK, we used the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI, Dore et al., 2005), which provides annual emissions from point sources and area sources at a horizontal resolution of 1 km. Biogenic emissions were calculated using the methodology proposed by Guenther et al. (1995). See Chemel et al. (2010) for details.

Meteorology WRF v3.0.1.1The simulation utilized the NOAH LSM, Yonsei University (YSU) PBL scheme (Hong et al., 2006), the microphysics scheme by Thompson et al. (2004, 2006), Grell and Devenyi CuP scheme, and CAM3 radiation package (Collins et al., 2006). Initial and lateral BCs were provided by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts model. Outputs from the WRF simulations were preprocessed for input into CMAQ using v3.4.1 of the Meteorology-Chemistry Interface Processor (MCIP; Otte et al., 2005). FDDA were used to improve model performance. More specific details regarding the WRF simulations, including references for the various schemes used can be found in Chemel et al. (2010).

Air Quality Model

CMAQ v4.6

Model options employed include the CB05 chemical mechanism, the AERO4 aerosol module, the Asymmetric Cloud Model 2 (ACM2) PBL scheme (Pleim, 2007a,b). See Chemel et al. (2010) for details.

Boundary conditions

STOCHEM

Chemical initial and boundary conditions for the outer domain were derived from monthly mean concentrations, modelled by the UK Met Office Lagrangian chemistry-transport model STOCHEM (Collins et al., 2000), for the year 2000. See Chemel et al. (2010) for details.

Emissions Annual anthropogenic emissions data from the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP, Vestreng et al., 2005) for area sources using a horizontal resolution of 50 km and from the European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER, Pulles et al., 2007) for point sources were used for grid cells outside the UK. For the UK, we used the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI, Dore et al., 2005), which provides annual emissions from point sources and area sources at a horizontal resolution of 1 km. Biogenic emissions were calculated using the methodology proposed by Guenther et al. (1995). See Chemel et al. (2010) for details. Emissions from Didcot Power Station were removed from the emission inventory.

Notes This "climate" simulation used a 360-day calendar. The climate community is mostly interested in seasonal and yearly averages. The seasons are DJF, MAM, JJA and SON. The seasonal averages are constructed by averaging the 3 30-day months corresponding to the seasons. Comparing hourly data does not make much sense.
