摘要:

The PrAIRie2005 campaign took place in the summer of 2005 in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. The measurement campaign was designed and led by air-quality modellers with the scientific objective of determining the extent to which air pollution events in the city are the result of locally emissions versus long-range transport. A nested version of the AURAMS model was constructed for post-campaign simulations and evaluation against the measurement data. The nested model runs at different resolutions, the highest of which is a 3 km horizontal resolution centered on the urban area. The high resolution model results show good agreement with observations, with side-by-side sampling through the real and model atmosphere. The comparison shows the same features for particle composition (Aerodyne AMS measurements compared to speciated PM1), for airborne gases (continuous NO, NO2, O-3) and ground-based measurements of gases, particle composition and particle layering structure. The simulations reveal that air-quality in the Edmonton area is complex, largely due to multiple local sources, with occasional long-range-transport events.
