DORE2 and Mieczysław SOBIK1 MODELLING THE LONG-RANGE TRANSPORT, CONCENTRATIONS AND DEPOSITION OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANTS IN POLAND - APPLICATIONS OF THE FRAME MODEL MODELOWANIE TRANSPORTU, KONCENTRACJI I DEPOZYCJI ZANIECZYSZCZEŃ ATMOSFERYCZNYCH W POLSCE - ZASTOSOWANIA MODELU FRAME Summary: FRAME (Fine Resolution Atmospheric Multi-pollutant Exchange) is a statistical Lagrangian atmospheric transport model. It has high spatial (5 km x 5 km) and vertical resolution (33 layers). The model was developed in the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (Edinburgh, UK) and has successfully been used for modelling long-range transport and deposition of atmospheric pollutants. The model is used as a tool to support government policy in assessing the effect of abatement of pollutant gas emissions. The FRAME model has been recently adopted to work for the area of Poland. This study presents the spatial patterns of dry and wet deposition of SOx, NOy and NHx as well as the yearly average air concentrations of SO2, NOx and NH3 for Poland for the year 2002. The model results are compared with the measurements. The modelled concentrations are found to be in a good agreement with observations, with a determination coefficient around 0.7 for SO2 and NOx. The NH3 concentrations are not routinely measured in Poland, therefore only the spatial pattern of air concentration is presented. FRAME dry and wet deposition of SOx, NOy and NHx was compared with the EMEP data and the measurement-based estimates provided by the IMWM (wet only). The calculated deposition budgets were found to be in close agreement. Spatial patterns of dry and wet deposition are generally similar to those reported by EMEP and CIEP/IMWM. Because of the higher spatial resolution of the FRAME model, the calculated depositions are locally higher, especially in the mountainous areas where the seeder-feeder effect is incorporated. Keywords: atmospheric pollution, pollutant concentration, deposition, numerical modelling, FRAME, Poland As the result of pollutant abatement policy on a national scale in Poland, since the beginning of the nineties, substantial reduction of gaseous emissions has been observed, with SO2 being reduced most [1]. Emissions of SO2 and NOx have fallen by 69 and 29%, respectively, during the period 1980-2004, with further decrease of 44 and 51% over the next 15 years [2]. However, pollutant deposition is still high and often exceeds critical load limit values. Atmospheric long-range transport models are important instruments to estimate the fate of pollutants and to understand the effects of changes in emissions. Until recently, the EMEP model [3] was the main source of information on long-range transport, air concentration and deposition of atmospheric pollutants. The main drawback of the EMEP model is coarse spatial resolution (50 km x 50 km). This paper contains a general description and presents preliminary results of the modelling of SO2, NOx and NH3 concentrations and SOx, NOy and NHx deposition for Poland with the fine resolution FRAME model. The results are compared with the EMEP and CIEP/IMWM (Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection, Institute of 1 Department of Meteorology and Climatology, University of Wrocław, Kosiby 6/8, 51-670 Wrocław, email: [email protected] 2 Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Edinburgh, UK 48 Maciej Kryza, Marek Błaś, Anthony J. Dore and Mieczysław Sobik Meteorology and Water Management) estimates as well as with the available measurements. Model outlook & input data A detailed description of the FRAME model can be found in papers [4-7]. Because of certain limitations, only the most important features are presented here. FRAME is a national scale Lagrangian model with 5 km x 5 km horizontal resolution. The grid dimension is 160 by 160 grid squares and covers the whole area of Poland. Input gas and aerosol concentrations at the edge of the model domain are calculated with the FRAME-Europe model, using the EMEP expert emission inventory for Europe and run on the EMEP 50 km scale grid. An air column is divided into 33 layers moving along straightline trajectories with a 1o angular resolution. The air column advection speed and frequency for a given wind direction is statistically derived from radio-sonde measurements [8]. Layer thickness varies from 1 m at the surface to 100 m at the top of the mixing layer. Vertical diffusion in the air column is calculated using K-theory eddy diffusivity and solved with the Finite Volume Method. The model chemistry includes gas phase and aqueous phase reactions of oxidized sulphur and oxidized nitrogen, and conversion of NH3 to ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate aerosol. The modelled chemical species treated include: NH3, NH +4 aerosol, NO, NO2, HNO3, PAN, NO3− aerosol, SO2, H2SO4 and SO 24− aerosol. The point sources emissions of SO2, NO2 and NH3 were taken from the EPER database [9]. The national totals of low level emissions of SO2, NO2, and NH3, presented by the National Inventory Report 2002 [10], were spatially disaggregated based on census and traffic data provided by the National Statistical Office [11], the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, and the landcover map. The low-level emission of NH3 was calculated separately for cattle, pigs, poultry and sheep and mixed into the lowest surface layers with a source-dependent emissions height. The low level emissions in the surrounding countries, which are partially in the model domain, were taken from the EMEP expert emission inventory. The wind rose employed in FRAME uses 6-hourly operational radiosonde data from the stations of Wrocław, Legionowo, Łeba, Greifswald, Lindenberg, Prague, Poprad and Kiev, spanning the whole 2002 year period. High resolution maps of yearly precipitation, developed with the multidimensional interpolation method [12], were converted to the 5 km FRAME grid and used in simulations. Wet deposition is calculated using a diurnally varying scavenging coefficient depending on mixing layer depth and a ‘constant drizzle’ approximation driven by a map of annual precipitation. Dry deposition is ecosystem specific and includes five land classes: forest, moorland, grassland, arable, urban and water. Results The SO2, NOx (Fig. 1) and NH3 (not shown here) concentrations, calculated with the FRAME model, are highest close to the low level emission sources. The spatial patterns presented here are generally similar to those calculated with the EMEP model, though Modelling the long-range transport, concentrations and deposition of atmospheric pollutants in Poland: … 49 FRAME modelled concentrations are locally higher. This is because of the high spatial and vertical resolution of the FRAME model. FRAME modelled concentrations of SO2 and NOx are in close agreement with measurements [13], with the determination coefficient close to 0.7 for both species. For certain monitoring stations, the model underestimates the concentrations. FRAME was not able to reflect the measured high concentrations on the four urban stations located close to the main roads. NH3 concentrations are not routinely measured at monitoring stations in Poland, therefore it is not possible to validate the model estimates in a similar way. Fig. 1. FRAME modelled yearly average air concentrations of SO2 (a) and NOx (b) The general pattern of the FRAME modelled dry and wet deposition is similar to that calculated by the EMEP model. The largest discrepancies are found for the dry deposition of NHx (Fig. 2), as the FRAME model shows high spatial variation. For the mountainous areas, FRAME shows significantly higher wet deposition of SOx, NOy and NHx than the EMEP model. The main peaks are in the Western Sudety Mts. and Beskid śywiecki (SW and S Poland). This occurs due to the seeder-feeder mechanism [14] incorporated in the high-resolution FRAME model, contrary to the coarser-resolution EMEP model which may not capture fine scale orographic precipitation effects. The detailed measurement-based annual precipitation map used for the FRAME simulation can also positively influence the results. FRAME modelled wet deposition of SOx, NOy and NHx was checked against the available measurements showing good agreement, with an R2 of 0.76, 0.72 and 0.46 for NHx, NOy, and SOx, respectively.

FRAME dry deposition budget is generally slightly lower than that reported by EMEP whereas wet deposition budget is in close agreement with the CIEP/IMWM estimates. Fig. 2.

MODELOWANIE TRANSPORTU, KONCENTRACJI I DEPOZYCJI ZANIECZYSZCZEŃ ATMOSFERYCZNYCH W POLSCE - ZASTOSOWANIA MODELU FRAME Streszczenie: FRAME (Fine Resolution Atmospheric Multi-pollutant Exchange) jest statystycznym modelem trajektorii typu Lagrange’a. Główne cechy modelu to duŜa rozdzielczość pozioma (5 x 5 km) i pionowa (33 warstwy) przy jednocześnie krótkim czasie wykonania obliczeń (ok. 30 minut). FRAME został pierwotnie opracowany dla obszaru Wielkiej Brytanii przez Centre for Ecology and Hydrology w Edynburgu i jest od kilku lat z powodzeniem uŜywany do modelowania transgranicznego transportu i depozycji zanieczyszczeń atmosferycznych. FRAME stanowi narzędzie wspomagające dla podejmowania decyzji ograniczających emisję gazów przemysłowych w Wielkiej Brytanii. W ostatnim czasie FRAME został przystosowany do działania na obszarze Polski. Praca prezentuje mapy średniorocznej koncentracji i rocznej depozycji (suchej i mokrej) tlenków siarki i azotu oraz azotu zredukowanego dla Polski, obliczone na podstawie emisji z 2002 roku. Wyniki działania modelu FRAME zostały porównane z koncentracją SO2 i NOx zmierzoną w sieci stacji monitoringu jakości 52 Maciej Kryza, Marek Błaś, Anthony J. Dore and Mieczysław Sobik powietrza GIOŚ. Stwierdzono duŜą zgodność modelu FRAME z pomiarami, wyraŜoną współczynnikiem determinacji na poziomie ok. 0,7 (dla obu związków). Ze względu na to, Ŝe rutynowe pomiary koncentracji zanieczyszczeń, prowadzone w sieci IOŚ, nie obejmują stęŜeń NH3, wykonanie podobnej analizy dla amoniaku nie jest moŜliwe. Bilanse suchej i mokrej depozycji SOx, NOy i NHx, obliczone na podstawie map depozycji uzyskanych za pomocą modelu FRAME, są zbliŜone do danych raportowanych przez EMEP i GIOŚ/IMGW (tylko mokra depozycja). Mapy depozycji obliczone modelem FRAME są podobne w ogólnym zarysie do prezentowanych przez dwa pozostałe źródła. RóŜnią się głównie ze względu na duŜą rozdzielczość przestrzenną FRAME, która pozwala uwzględnić procesy działające w małej skali (np. efekt seeder-feeder).
