Emissions Inventories
Obtained ARB monthly historical emissions Have checked completeness & readability Status: ready for re-aggregation into county or
greater total VOC, NOx, CO

Ambient AQ Data
Hourly gas-phase (O3, NO, NOx, CO, HC)– Completeness– Rounding conventions
VOC: PAMS, ARB, SJVAQS (1990) – No combination of previous VOC validation provides
complete spatial & temporal coverage– Start with EPA archives and validate data

Met Classification Methods
![Page 10: Envair DRI Alpine Geophysics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681481a550346895db544d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Met Classification Approach
Goal is to stratify days, not to adjust ozone Stratifications related to transport directions Primary clustering method is based on met
variables related to transport Secondary method is spatial correlation of
peak ozone (e.g., DRI CCOS clustering algorithm, BAAQMD analysis)
![Page 11: Envair DRI Alpine Geophysics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681481a550346895db544d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Met Classification Details
K-means clustering Use all days May through October each year Standardized variables 850 mb T, height, u and v wind vector components Pressure gradients SFO to Medford, Reno, Fresno Surface u and v wind vector components, 53
stations Limited to 12 cluster types
![Page 12: Envair DRI Alpine Geophysics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681481a550346895db544d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Classification Results
![Page 13: Envair DRI Alpine Geophysics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681481a550346895db544d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Summary of Findings
Met classifications yield clusters having differences in transport direction or distance
Different clusters exhibit different mean concentrations of air pollutants
Pollutant trends at a site may but do not always differ among clusters
Clusters account for about 30 – 40% of ozone variance

15
Which Clusters Have Highest Ozone?
Clusters 1, 3, 5, 6 (summer and fall) Sometimes cluster 9 (Sep and Oct) In southern SJV, also clusters 2, 7, 8, 11
(occur most frequently May and June)

Do clusters exhibit differences in transport direction and distance?… most easily seen using plots ofU and V wind vector components(these show direction of origin)

Main Finding of Cluster Analysis
Clusters exhibit differences in transportdirections or distances. The differencesare more pronounced at some sites than others.
![Page 29: Envair DRI Alpine Geophysics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681481a550346895db544d1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Can Clusters Be Improved?
Maybe -
Direct comparisons of met types (clusters) to groupings determined from wind speed and direction at eachsite suggest room for improvement.

regression of AQ metric against day Determine regression slope and SE

What Have We Learned So Far?
Met clusters ~30 – 40% of ozone variability Clusters exhibit differences in mean transport
directions and distances. Might be able to improve distinctions among clusters.
Trends vary among clusters & sites Hypothesis: variations of ambient trends are a
function of spatial variations of emission trends

Next Steps –
Compare ambient to emission trends – county level or groups of counties
Draft Phase I report & Phase II plan – July 1 Task 4 meeting – ? Final Phase I report & Phase II plan If Phase II approved, compare ambient trends to
emission trends occurring in the upwind areas of influence (need to grid emission estimates)
