S. Lu:
Have you run GEM-MACH for global resolutions, and if so, at what
resolution?
Answer:
Yes, we have run some global tests at 2° by 2°.
S. Antonopoulos:
What differences were there between the emissions used for
CHRONOS) and for GEM-MACH15)?
Answer:
For CHRONOS, we have used the 2000 Canadian and 2001 U.S. national
emissions inventories, with adjustments to U.S. NOx emissions from major point
sources at the state level to account for emissions reductions associated with
the U.S. NOx SIP Call. For GEM-MACH15, we have used the 2006 Canadian
and 2005 U.S. national emissions inventories. Biogenic emissions are calculated
for both models based on BEISv3.09.
