Abstract |
The ENAMAP-1 model for long-range air pollution transport has been modified in several ways to produce a newer version, ENAMAP-1A. The geographic region of the modeled domain has been increased to include southeastern Canada, and the meteorological and emission data for this area have been added to the U.S. data base. The transformation rate for SO2 to SO4(-2) and the deposition rates of SO2 and SO4(-2) have been updated. In ENAMAP-1 these rates are all constants; in ENAMAP-1A they are variable in space and time. The transformation rate has been made dependent on the amount of sunshine (i.e. a function of latitude and season) and is about twice as large as the previous rate. In ENAMAP-1A the dry deposition rate has been made dependent on the type of underlying terrain and vegetation, on thermal stability in the boundary layer, and on time of day. Wet deposition is treated as a function of rainfall rate and cloud type (convective, warm process, or Bergeron process). Boundary exchanges of SO2 and SO4(-2) have been computed for each of 41 states (or provinces) and also for 12 especially sensitive areas of special interest such as parks. The computations show the history of pollution from emission to deposition and are documented in the form of maps and tables. In contrast to ENAMAP-1 computations, ENAMAP-1A computations for January and August 1977 have much larger amounts of SO4(-2) in the form of airborne concentration and deposition, while the amount of SO2 deposition is decreased. |
