Performance Evaluation of Emissions Models
Models3 WorkshopMark Janssen
Midwest RPO/LADCO
What emissions models?
SMOKE - MCNC Sparse matrix fast Free - uses Fortran and IOAPI libs
EMS-2002 Data openness Model code decipherable to outsiders
How do you evaluate emissions models?
Ability to create realistic representation of reality: For a specific Chemical Transport Model(CTM)
CMAQ, CAMX, REMSAD, UAM-IV
Spatial scale of the CTM(domain, cell size) Lumped chemical species mechanisms(CB-IV) Temporal scale of the model(Hour Specific)
What makes it hard?
Many types of data Inventories, landuse, met, speciation,
temporal allocation tables, 80+ typesInventory quality problems
Stack parameters, temporal allocation……. Parts are not complex,but many parts
Onroad, Biogenic, Offroad, Point, Area Fires, Dust, Ammonia, Electric Generation
How do you measure Performance?
Easy to understand and use parts Documentation Readable, stable code Easy execution, installation Easy to build new grids, episodes Support available(Community or
Contractors) Hardware Software Requirements
How do you measure Performance(cont.)?
Models assist in identification of inventory problems that effect models Data formatting problems. missing SCC codes Supersonic exit velocities
Models assist in identification of inventory quality problems. Inventory for a category is too high/low Temporization does not match reality
Advance Stack Diagnostics
Heuristic algorithims/Methods to find problems
List top 10 ROG and NOX sourcesOut of range for combination of:
plume concentration of NOX, Stack height/Plume Height, High plume height, etc.
Source not located in FIPS county identifiedReport of small source “fixed” by model. Low effective plume height at Large facility

Big NOX Report
Tier Reporting
Tier1: Direct Loss of emissions: Missing State, County ID, Facility ID, Invalid SCC code, Duplicate keys in 2 records, Invalid Pollutant ID
Tier2: Could lose emission: Bad Coordinate, Missing Facility ID in Emission record, Bad Area source SCC
Tier Reporting
Tier3: Results in System Default: Duplicate SCC codes in Process file, Missing UTM Coordinates in stack file: Stack ID missing in emission file.
Tier4: Non critical: Invalid SIC code, Stack Parameters out of range on small source

Problems with Current Emissions Models
EMS-2002 requires SAS License($1,800 states/EPA, $19K
others) Developers(LADCO, WI, Alpine Geophysics)
SMOKE Sparse Matrix, difficult to decipher Complex new QA, exporting Difficult Developers(MCNC,?)
Rethinking Open Emissions ModelsNew models must build on strengths of old
models Code Open, Use GPL SQL software
Readable, Programmable, Exportable, ODBCFree, Run on Linux ClustersData transparency
Build many ad-hoc reporting tools Community development sharing of tools
Community Built Community is not: We all pitch in money to
one pot for one contractor.
Attributes of Early Open Emissions Models.
Shell scripts to run many days(No UI)Robust inventory problem identification and
repair(See EMS tier reporting + advanced stack diagnostics)
Data Transparency, Call up a dataset in a window(Allow query of dataset with complex Boolean query)
Works with CMAQ and PM-CAMX, REMSAD Strong couple with MM5.
UCR/LADCO Open Emissions Model White Paper
Define Core structure of Model Which SQL Product What Interfaces
Incremental development Early: Fires,Speciation, Dust, NH3 Later: Point, Area, Mobile, Biogenic
