Conclusions (Preliminary)

Two-way coupled WRF-CMAQ has been set up to simulate
air pollution over the eastern Asia for some days but has some
problems with “NaN”

Based on the trajectory cluster, PSCF and CWT analysis for
weekly
haze
(2/20-2/27/2014) at Beijing
Brian K.
Eder
 Five clusters: S, E, W-NW, NW, and N
 Heavy haze email:
from SW
province (such as Handan, Baoding
eder@hpcc.epa.gov
etc., Hebei)
 Haze from S and SW provinces (such as Heze, Liaocheng
www.arl.noaa.gov/
etc., Shandong,
Baoding etc., Hebei)
 Clean air from NW and N with very fast air masses
Therefor, needwww.epa.gov/asmdnerl
control emissions in Hebei and Shandong

We will continue model test and use the model to explain the sources and
formation of haze in BTH region in the future

Hope to finish the China simulations for 2013 soon
