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

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
