• In Every grid box in Earth’s Atmosphere (3D), All chemical species are solved…• Focus: Standard tropospheric ozone-NOx-VOC-aerosol simulation (111 species being solved)

Page 3: Model reduction algorithms in atmospheric pollution transport simulations by Mauricio Santillana In collaboration with: Daniel Jacob, Philippe Le Sager,

However, do we need to solve all equations in all grid boxes?

Model reduction idea: Solve full equations only where most needed… Reasonable idea?

Where are things happening? All speciesIdea:• Divide domain in active/inactive regions (for each chemical species).• Solve for species that are active in each box.• Use a computationally cheaper method to calculate concentration for inactive species.

Why 10 threshold?

Example: OH Typical concentration = 10 mol / cmLife time = 1 sec.

Negligible!

What do we do in inactive regions?Two Ideas:

2. Spatial exponential-decay extrapolation (In progress)

• Assume spatial exponential decay from essential regions

• Calculate concentration of species in non-essential regions at each time step using a distance function to the chemical boundary layer

• Ignore all mechanisms such as: transport, chemistry, deep convection, in non-essential regions

1. Alternative ODE solver(Preliminary results)

• Calculate concentration of species in inactive regions at each time step using an explicit ODE.

• Decouples equations.• Cheaper than implicit!

Explicit solver (analytic expression)

• Future work: – 1 month running right now,– Goal: 1 year.– Implement spatial extrapolation (Rastigeyev, Y., M.P. Brenner,

and D.J. Jacob, PNAS, 2007)
