RFA: Consequences of Global Change For Air Quality (2006) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Air , Climate Change
Objective:
The current project aims to quantitatively assess the consequences of Global Change on California air quality by (1) measuring emissions from mobile sources powered by alternative fuels as a function of temperature and humidity, (2) creating a source-oriented PM module for the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) model to quantify feedback between air quality and regional meteorology, and (3) calculating California air quality in the year 2030 during a range of O3 and PM2.5 pollution events.Progress Summary:
Future Activities:
Future measurement efforts are directly at completing chemical measurement and data analysis for the tests that have already been completed, which will be the basis of several manuscripts. The specifics of future testing will in part depend on the results of the completed tests but are will be directed at the following questions: 1) Role of ambient temperature of diesel engine emissions, 2) impact of biofuels on current and future on-road diesel engine technologies, and 3) the role of seed aerosol on emissions of particulate matter from gasoline and diesel engines.
