Processing of Biogenic Emissions for OTC / MANE-VU Modeling

September 19, 2006

Biogenic emissions for the time period from January 1, 2002 – December
31, 2002 were calculated by NYSDEC using the Biogenic Emissions
Inventory System (BEIS) version 3.12 integrated within SMOKE2.1. General
information about BEIS is available at   HYPERLINK
"http://www.epa.gov/AMD/biogen.html"  http://www.epa.gov/AMD/biogen.html
 while documentation about biogenic emissions processing within SMOKE2.1
is available at   HYPERLINK
"http://cf.unc.edu/cep/empd/products/smoke/version2.1/html/ch06s10.html"
 http://cf.unc.edu/cep/empd/products/smoke/version2.1/html/ch06s10.html 
and   HYPERLINK

 http://cf.unc.edu/cep/empd/products/smoke/version2.1/html/ch06s17.html 
. Note that the SMOKE documentation refers to BEIS3.09 and has not yet
been updated for BEIS3.12. This affects the number of species modeled as
well as the use of different speciation profiles.  However, the general
processing approach has not changed from BEIS3.09 to BEIS3.12. In short,
this processing approach is as follows and was utilized by NYSDEC for
its biogenic emission processing for 8-hr ozone and PM2.5 modeling:

Normbeis3 reads gridded land use data and emissions factors and produces
gridded normalized biogenic emissions for 34 species/compounds. The
gridded land use includes 230 different land use types. Both summer and
winter emissions factors for each species/compound are provided for each
of the 230 land use types. On output, Normbeis3 generates a file B3GRD
which contains gridded summer and winter emission fluxes for the
modeling domain that are normalized to 30 °C and a photosynthetic
active radiation (PAR) of 1000 µmol/m2s. In addition, gridded summer
and winter leaf area indices (LAI) are also written to B3GRD. 

Tmpbeis3 reads the gridded, normalized emissions file B3GRD and
meteorological data from the MCIP-processed MM5 meteorological fields
generated by the University of Maryland for MANE-VU/OTC modeling.
Specifically, the following MM5/MCIP meteorological variables are used
by Tmpbeis3 to compute hour-specific, gridded biogenic emissions from
the normalized emission fluxed contained in B3GRD: layer-1 air
temperature (“TA”), layer-1 pressure (“PRES”), total incoming
solar radiation at the surface (“RGRND”), and convective (“RC”)
and non-convective (“RN”) rainfall. Additionally, the emissions for
the 34 species/compounds modeled by BEIS3.12 are converted to CO, NO,
and the CB-IV VOC species utilized in CMAQ via the use of the
BEIS3.12-CB-IV speciation profile. In adition, an optional seasonal
switch file, BIOSEASON, was utilized to decide whether to use summer or
winter emissions factors for any given grid cell on any given day. This
file was generated by the SMOKE2.1 utility Metscan based on MM5 layer-1
air temperatures to determine the date of the last spring frost and
first fall frost at each grid cell. Summer emission factors are used by
Tmpbeis3 for the time period between the last spring frost and first
fall frost at any given grid cell, and winter emission factors are used
for the remaining time period. Documentation for the Metscan utility is
available at   HYPERLINK
"http://cf.unc.edu/cep/empd/products/smoke/version2.1/html/ch05s07.html"
 http://cf.unc.edu/cep/empd/products/smoke/version2.1/html/ch05s07.html 
. An animated GIF file showing the BIOSEASON file used by NYSDEC can be
found at   HYPERLINK

on_movie.gif"

For reporting purposes, the hourly, speciated, gridded emissions were
aggregated to the county level for each day. For any given grid cell,
emissions are distributed among the counties intersecting this grid cell
in proportion to the area of each of these counties within the grid
cell. The area gridding surrogates needed for this aggregration are
based on a file obtained from EPA via   HYPERLINK
"http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/emch/spatial/new/bgpro.12km_041604.us.gz" 
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/emch/spatial/new/bgpro.12km_041604.us.gz 
followed by windowing for the MANE-VU/OTC modeling domain.
