Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the sensitivity of meteorological fields and the variation of concentration of particulate matters (PMs) due to aerosol schemes and dust options within the WRF-Chem model to estimate Asian dusts affected on 29 May 2008 in the Korean peninsula. The anthropogenic emissions within the model were adopted by the $0.5^{\circ}{\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ RETRO of the global emissions, and the photolysis option was by Fast-J photolysis. Also, three scenarios such as the RADM2 chemical mechanism and MADE/SORGAM aerosol, the MOSAIC 8 section aerosol, and the GOCART dust erosion were simulated for calculating Asian dust emissions. As a result, the scenario of the RADM2 chemical mechanism & MADE/SORGAM aerosol depicted higher concentration than the others' in both Asian dusts and the background concentration of PMs. By comparing of the daily mean of PM10 measured at each air quality monitoring site in Seoul with the scenario results, the correlation coefficient was 0.67, and the root mean square error was $44{\mu}gm^{-3}$. In addition, the air temperature, the wind speed, the planetary boundary layer height, and the outgoing long-wave radiation were simulated under conditions of no chemical option with these three scenarios within the WRF or WRF-Chem model. Both the spatial distributions of the PBL height and the wind speed of u component among the meteorological factors were similar to those of the Asia dusts in range of 1,800-3,000 m and $2-16ms^{-1}$, respectively. And, it was shown that both scenarios of the RADM2 chemical mechanism and MADE/SORGAM aerosol and the GOCART dust erosion were interacted on-line between meteorological factors and Asian dusts or aerosols within the model because the outgoing long-wave radiation was changed to lower than the others.

이 연구의 목적은 2008년 5월 29일 우리나라에 영향을 미치는 황사를 예측하기 위해 WRF-Chem 모델 내 에어로졸 스킴과 광물성 먼지 옵션에 따른 미세먼지 농도 변화와 그에 따른 기상장의 민감도를 분석하는 것이다. 미세먼지의 인위적 배출량에 대해서는 $0.5^{\circ}{\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ RETRO 전구 배출량을, 광해리의 경우 Fast-J 광해리 스킴을, 그리고 황사 발생량을 추정하기 위해 RADM2 화학메커니즘 및 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 시나리오, MOSAIC 8 섹션 에어로졸 시나리오, 그리고 GOCART 먼지 침식 시나리오를 각각 적용하였다. 그 결과 RADM2 화학메커니즘 및 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 시나리오가 다른 시나리오들보다 우리나라 황사 먼지 농도와 배경 PM 농도를 더 높게 모사하였다. 그리고 이 시나리오와 서울의 각 대기질 측정망의 평균 PM10 농도와의 비교 결과, 상관계수는 0.67, 평균제곱근오차는 $44{\mu}gm^{-3}$으로 나타났다. 또한 WRF-Chem 모델에서 상기 3가지 시나리오와 이들 시나리오가 없는 순수 기상에서의 온도, 풍속, 경계층 높이, 장파복사의 기상 민감도를 분석한 결과, 1,800-3,000 m 경계층 높이와 $2-16ms^{-1}$ 풍속 U 성분의 공간적 분포가 황사 먼지 발생의 공간적 분포와 유사하게 나타났다. 그리고 GOCART 먼지 침식 시나리오와 RADM2 화학메커니즘 및 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 시나리오는 황사 먼지 또는 에어로졸과 기상이 온라인으로 상호작용함으로써 지구장파복사가 더 낮게 모사되었다.
