Emission processing methodology for the new GEM-MACH model ABSTRACT SMOKE has recently been adapted to provide emissions for the new Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) air quality model GEM-MACH. The goal of this project is to provide a versatile, robust and standard way to generate emissions files for MSC’s operational air quality model GEM-MACH in support of research and air quality forecast applications. We give an overview of the different challenges encountered in this process and of some of the current applications of the system. M. Sassi 1 , V. Bouchet 1 , L-P. Crevier 1 , S. Ménard 1 , P.

GEM-MACH Emission Modeling
A new operational Air Quality Forecast Model GEM-MACH is being implemented at MSC. We built a modeling platform to produce several sets of gridded emissions for Environment Canada needs:
•SMOKE ancillary files:– Create spatial surrogate files on native GEM-MACH grid (Same grid as GEM
meteorological model).– Set ADOM II as chemical mechanism and define the group of species
needed by GEM-MACH in the gspro file.– Update the temporal profiles with the most recent data available.
•SMOKE processing and QA/QC– Update the 2005 Canada/US NEI with the latest 2008 informations.– Process the emissions. Fourteen monthly sets of two daily emissions files
were produced to feed into the model. – Provide the appropriate grid tools for mapping point sources emissions to
specific grid cells.– Perform tests and evaluations of the new datasets.

Few changes were required to SMOKE to make the system work with Environment Canada’s new air quality model GEM-MACH. Input and output file converters had to be constructed to go to and from the GEM-MACH and I/O API file formats. A new VOC speciation for the ADOM II mechanism was constructed and tested and a PM size disaggregation mechanism was implemented for use.

Creation of a VOC speciation
The following procedure was developed for the binning of the detailed speciation to the NAPAP and ADOM II mechanisms and was used to create the ADOM II speciation files profiles for SMOKE.
• If the substance was assigned to multiple bins the mass was multiplied by the mass fraction for the particular bin (eg: Alkane / Aromatic Mix).• The masses were summed to the appropriate NAPAP & ADOM II bin.•The mass of the substance was converted to moles using the molecular weight•The moles of the substance were added to the NAPAP bin and multiplied
by the NAPAP reactivity weighting and added to the ADOM II bin.
