摘要

Prognostic meteorological models use advanced algorithms to estimate meteorological variables at points where observational data is otherwise unavailable. This presents one possible solution to the problem of finding representative meteorological data for use in air quality dispersion modeling analyses. In 2012, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) published the beta version of a new utility called the Mesoscale Model Interface Program (MMIF). MMIF "converts prognostic meteorological model output fields...from the Fifth Generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model" into direct input formats compatible with three air quality models: AERMOD, CALPUFF, and SCICHEM. The AERMOD modeling system typically utilizes a meteorological preprocessor called AERMET to estimate the planetary boundary layer depth from hourly surface observations and twice-daily upper air soundings. MMIF can either replace AERMET entirely by generating model-ready meteorological data files or it can create direct input files to AERMET. This study compares differences in meteorological parameters for a single AERMET run (dated 11059) using National Weather Service data to runs using "pseudo-station" data extracted by MMIF from MM5 and WRF. The resulting impacts upon ground-level concentrations calculated by AERMOD (dated 12060) for these meteorological data sets are also reviewed. Comparison of the meteorological data files show the peak average model mixing height output by AERMET was 4-16% lower than prognostic data formatted by MMIF. Average nighttime mixing heights were 1.75-2.15 times greater in the AERMET data set than the prognostic models, however. Winds speeds from the MM5 and WRF data averaged 2-3 m/s lower than the National Weather Service data, and peak speeds from the prognostic data were 5-6 m/s lower. The AERMOD results reflect these meteorological differences and highlight some significant differences in how prognostic models handle the planetary boundary layer. For short-term averaging periods, high concentrations between prognostic data and AERMET fell within 20% for elevated sources. The worst short-term comparisons were for the 1-hour averages of the surface-based volume source where AERMET's routines potentially underestimated the mixing height causing a gap of 26 μg/m~3 between the 1st and 2nd high values. The MMIF data set extracted more detailed meteorological profiles and used a lower bound mixing height which resulted in small differences (5-10 μg/m~3) between source highs. Conversely, long-term averages presented some significant dissimilarities between the data sets. MM5 produced lower concentrations from elevated sources but had increases of 35-43% over AERMET when comparing the volume source results. WRF, on the other hand, trended higher than AERMET when comparing point source output, and produced the only long-term case where the volume source concentration was lower than that estimated by AERMET.
