Numerical simulations of ozone level scenarios for Mexico City

Abstract:

The effect of emissions on primary pollutant concentrations and ozone concentrations in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) is investigated using the coupled meteorology chemical model MCCM. MCCM simulates simultaneously the meteorological and air chemistry fields over the model domain and provides time dependent three-dimensional distributions of all the major inorganic and organic species relevant to oxidant formation. MCCM includes two separate detailed gas-phase chemistry mechanisms with 39 and 47 chemical species respectively and particulate matter (PM 10) as a passive tracer. Emission reductions are found to reduce frequency of peak ozone concentrations above 200 ppb.
