Vertical mixing occur rarely, due to intermittent process, if at all.
Angevine (2004), JAM Pollution episodes in New England are associated with moderate, definetely non-stagnant winds. Thus transport contribute to O3 buildup, which contracts with episodes in other part of U.S., which occur in stagnant or recirculating conditions.
Angevine (2006a), JGR A shallow stable boundary layer over cool waters help efficient pollutant transport by isolating overlaying flow from the surface. If the boundary layer is more stable, the transport is more efficient.

Appel et al. (2007), AE CB05 Vs. CB04, systemtatically higher O3 predicted by CB05. Better performance when O3>60ppb but worse when O3 < 60 ppb. CMAQ systemtatically overpredicte lower-range O3 concentrations.
Apsimon (1994), AE Preliminary results from the ASAM (abatement strategies assessment model) model imply that strategic allocation of resources to cutting back sulphur emission in Europe has substantial benefits relative to a uniform cut-back everywhere.
Arnold and Dey (1986), BAMS For OSSEs, identical-twin approach should not be used. Fraternal-twin experiments are preferable. Simulated observations must be given proper observational errors. The Ref. Atmos. (or nature run) and the assimilation model should stand in the same relationship to each other as the asmosphere and the model do. A model is always less sophisticated than the real atmosphere, so the assimilation model should therefore be less sophisticated than the RA. This can be accomplished by using a coarser grid and less physics.
Arteta (2006), AE Online RAMS-RACM is used to investigate pollution plumes in highly variable meteorological condition.
Asman (1998) AE The actual direction of flux depends on the difference between the surface air concentation (Xsurface) and concentration in the first layer. NH3 Xsurface can have a larger than 0, but for most other component Xsurface will be 0.

Ayers (1999), JAC HCl is more volatile than HBr. If the dehalogenation is simply due to the acide displacement of volatile hydrogen halides by less volatile acid, Cl- loss would be greater than Br-. But acctually Br- loss from the sea-salt is much larger than Cl- due to autocatalytic halogen activation process.
Acid catalysis is impotant to dehalogenation process
Ayotte (1996), BLM
Representing entrainment is the most important role of any model.  Some models (e.g., MYJ) show significan errors comparing with LES results.  At high resolution the choice of physical parameterization becomes less important.  
Baek (2004), Environ. Pollution Excess input of NH3, HNO3, and NH4NO3 may lead to soil acidification and eutrophication of ecosystem.
ammonium sulfate aerosol has a low vapor pressure, which allows it to condense even at low RH
Baek, and Aneja (2006), Int. J GEI Particles in the nuclei mode may be transferred into the accumulation mode by coagulation. However, acumulation mode particles do not ordinarily grow into the coarse mode, because concentrations are too low for coagulation to be effective.
Relatively small amounts of particulate sulphate, nitrate and chloride species in coarse particles originate from the SO2, HNO3 and HCl reactions with coarse PM instead of equilibrium chemical reactions.
often half or more of the PM2.5 mass is composed of secondarily formed species through gas to particle conversion.
ammonia has a short lifetime approximately 0.5 to five days or less due to the rapid GTPC of NH3 to NH4+ and relatively high dry deposition velocity to the surfaces near its source
Baik (2001), JAM Two flow regimes are identified in dry simulations of urban heat island: stationary gravity waves near heating region; the other regime is characterized both by stationary gravity waves near the heating region and by a downwind updraft cell
Bailey (2007), JGR Model-3 only care about tropospheric chemistry. Two-way nesting of REMSAD: seems only exchange on boundary from both way.
REMSAD: designed as a screening model
Banta (2005), BAMS Emissions often do not vary much from day to day. So meteorological process will control if high-pollution event will occur. Sea-breeze front, PBL height, noctournal low-level jets etc. are important meteorology ingredients that need to be predicted accurately in order to predict pollution event correctly.
Bao, J.-W. (2005), JGR Cumulus scheme (Grell) is turned off for the 1.67km resolution simulation.

Bulk equilbrium, size distribution is not considered
Russell (1983) is the first one to couple gas-phase air quality model to an aerosol equilibrium calculation,but only ammonium nitrate is considered in his model
When aerosol size-related effects such as visibility reduction are of interest, it will be necessary to predict size distributions.
Bassett and Seinfeld (1984) The kinetic limitations are most important for large particles or for species with very low vapor pressures. Nitrate will tend to evaporate from the smaller particles and deposit on large particles where surface curvature effects on vapor pressure are minimal.
Bates (2004), JGR In MBL, sea-salt is highly depleted in chloride from reaction with sulfuric and nitric acid vapors.
Dust has higher buffering capacity comparing to sea-salt, thus sulfuric and nitric acids may preferentially associated with them.
Supermicro dust and sea salt provide a major sink for nitric and sulfuric acids since their higher settling velocity and shorter atmospheric residence times.
Bates (2005), JGR Organic aerosols were a dominant component of the total submicrometer aerosol mass in marine boundary layerr off the New England coast during summer of 2002.

Belair (1999), JAM
Classification of different PBL schemes,  orders, local vs. non-local.         inclusion of nonlocal term has little impact on the simulated PBL due to small surface heat flux in this specific case.  
Bell (2004), AE Climate change induced increases in biogenic VOC emissions could significantly impact ozone concentrations.
Bell (2008), JGR From TRMM data, it is observed that during summertime, rainfall over southeast U.S. is significantly higher during the middle of week than on weekends due to intensification of afternoon storms.
Berge (2001), JGR Above the PBL, the impact of the initial conditions could last for at least more than 3 days. The large impactor factors in the free troposphere strongly complicate any model evaluation by use of measurements in the upper air.
Berkowitz (1996), JGR O3 correlations with CO and aerosols will be the main feature used to identify excess ozone. CO is used to identify air masses impacted by human activity because CO is long-lived species associated with imcomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
Berkowitz (2000), JGR 24 hr of "spin up" allows time for chemistry to replace the IC with more realistic simulated values.
The associated mixing with these large-scale cloud field was reflected in modifications to the vertical velocity and turbulent kinetic energy (and thus eddy diffusivity) fields. Thus grid-scale cloud mixing is included. However subgrid, fair weather cumulus is not considered in this study
Ozone is not produced at surface, but is produced somewhere above the surface and subsequently brought to the surface by mixing
Berkowitz (2004), JGR O3 problem in Houston is unique because of very high value, and rapid onset, while in othere area, the high O3 is associated with more regional scale and slowly developping event.
High correlation between HCHO and high, rapid formed O3
Berkowitz (2005), AE VOC reactivity as given by Atkinson(1994)
Bessagnet (2001), AE absorption process (transport of semi-volatile species from the gas phase to particles) = mass transfer process
Bessagnet (2004), AE Sea-salt may be significant at coastal sites when the strongest winds occur, which may cause large negative biases if the model don't consider the wind blown sea-salt emission.
At mountainous sites, the model is sometimes deficient due to transport is difficult to model.
Betts (1992), JGR entrainment may be underestimated in many parameterization models
Betts (1997), MWR
MYJ PBL scheme is used.  The Eta model didn't predict sufficient BL-top entrainment and didn't predict the overshoot cooling at BL top produced by entrainment.  Eta model predicts too stable a nocturnal BL. So greater coupling between the surface and atmosphere in stable conditions may be desirable.   Also transfer coefficient in the unstable BL need to be higher.
Bey (2001), JGR The tropopause is diagnosed in the model using the standard criterion of a 2 K km-1 lapse rate. Above the tropopause we use a simplified chemical representation.
Binkowski (1995), JGR ACM handle vertical turbulent trnsport under convective conditions while K theory handle other conditions.
Dry deposition is represented in the model as a boundary condition on the finite-difference form of the vertical turbulent transport term.
To calculate the aerosol LWC, A fit to the experimental water activities reported by Apann for H2O-to-SO42- molar ratios as a function of NH4--to-SO42- molar ratios is used
RPM only contains two modes, so soil dust and sea salt are not included.
RPM also assume the aerosol consists entirely of SO42-,NH4-, and H2O, consequently, nitrates are not considered
Binkowski (2003), JGR The water content of sulfate aerosols depends strongly upon the ionic ratio of ammonium to sulfate.
The ammonia deficient regime: the ionic ratio of ammonium to total sulfate ion is less than 2.0
Birmili (2000), GRL 80% of the new particle formation events showed a remarkable increase in SO2 by an average factor >7, which is explained by entrainment of polluted air from aloft
Bottenheim et al. (2002), AE Why ODEs just occur in Spring? because CHBr3 peak in winter?
Bottenheim and Chan (2006), JGR O3 depleted air over barrow appears typically 1 day's travel from a putative region where O3 depletion chemistry is active.
Air parcels depleted in O3 may remain the way for several days. This is possible in the strongly stratified stable air over the Arctic in the Spring
Bottenheim et al. (2009), ACP Turbulence may bring down O3-richer air to surface and terminate ODEs. ODEs are often interuptted by such turbulence

Boylan; Odman(2002), AE Ramp-up Days; Adaptive grid model introduced by Dr. Odman!
The impact of gas-phase ICs diminishes more quickly when compared to aerosol species because fine aeroosol have very low deposition velocities. All the modeling results were sensitive to the boundary conditions and long-range transport of both gas and aerosol species from the boundary can affect the concentrations of pollutants thousands of kilometers away.
The performance for EC is better because EC is inert. The inert species include magnesium, potassium, calcium, EC.
Boylan; Odman (2005),JAWMA normalized quantities can become large when the observations are small. So whenever the observation is smaller than the threshold value(40ppb), that estimate-observation pair is excluded from the calculations.
Some important meteorological parameters can bias the predicted pollutant concentrations and skew the source/receptor relationships.
Not modeling large point source plumes at subgrid scale can result in plumes being diluted too fast and the chemistry pushed into a different chemical regime.As a consequence, the spatial relationship between pollutant sources and downwind pollutant conentrations can be affected
Brankov (1998), AE High o3 level in Northeast tend to occur when air arriving at the monitoring site has prviously traveled over the southeast and midwest.
Brasseur (1998), JGR In-situ emission; surface emission;
MOZART is driven by the dynamics of CCM, which are provided every 3-hr. Within 3-hr period the variables are intepolated linearly as a function of time.
Semi-Lagrangian transport is inherently non-conservative, a mass conserving correction is applied to the solution after each time step.
gas phase only interacts with sulfate aerosols in this version of MOZART.
Microbial production of NO in soils
Braun (2000), MWR
in this case only ECMWF IC BC and Betts-Miller can produce hurrican.  If PBLH is predicted higher than the convective cloud base it is not good? since cumulus transort is supposed to be responsible for the transport above this level.
Bright (2002), WF
Local schemes have been extended to 3rd oder while nonlocal schemes have been limited to first order.   MYJ Eta PBL scheme is a local 1.5 order scheme.         highr-order, local PBL scheme (e.g., MYJ) tend to produce too shallow, too cool and too moist PBLs.     nonlocal PBL schemes are better to simulate deep PBLs over the southwest of US.
Brock (2002), JGR In summer time, when relatively cloud-free conditions prevail, gas-phase oxidation of SO2 to H2SO4 and subsequent condensation onto particles is significant source for total aerosol mass. So we may need to pay attention of this for TxAQS2000 case.
Brock (2003), JGR Photochemical oxidation of SO2 is the Key process regulating particle mass growth in all the studied plumes in TexAQS2000 episode. In-cloud oxidation of SO2 is believed to have been negligible because of negligible cumulus clouds on 27, 28 August.
The rapid decrease in particle number concentration in the ship channel plume with increasing plume age is qualitatively consistent with expected high rate of coagualation combined with dilution.
Compounds other than (NH4)2SO4 such as nitrates or organics, contributed to most of the observed particle growth in plume from petrochemical industries along the Houston Ship channel
HNO3/NOy is a better proxy for integrated exposure of the plume to OH
Bronnimann (2000), AE Background conditions are often addressed by analysing ozone at remote or high altitude sites, which are far from emission sources.
Brown (1996), BLM
Local closure produce insufficiently well-mixed profiles.        Although the failings of local closure scheme in convective conditions are well known, they are commonly used in NWP models.
Brown (2007), JGR NO3 and N2O5 aloft have larger concentrations and lifetime. NO3 could oxidize VOC (ISOPRENE, Monoterpenes)
Burgers (1998), MWR
Observations must be treated as random variables at the analysis steps, i.e., one should add random perturbations with correct statistics to the observations and generate an ensemble of observations.
Butler (2003), JGR Most PM2.5 species peaked during the summer months (Sulfate and OC I think); however, nitrate, metals and EC showed some enhancement in the winter due to lower inversion heights.
Trace metals contributed less than 1% to the total fine mass on average
Buzcu (2006), JGR Junquera et al. [2005] didn't include SO2 emissions from fires.
The increase in sulfate during the wood smoke episode could be explained by heterogeneous/surface reactioon on wood smoke particles.

CMAQ modeled atmosphere lacks reactivity to produce the observed high ozone event.
Caldwell (2005), JAS Higher entrainment at night and very little entrainment around local noon
Campbell (2002), AE The ratios of sulfate and calcium to sodium are much higher than sea water, which means some terrestrial origin of gypsum. It is better to model them as externally mixed particles.
EQUISOLV only fails when formation of solid NH4NO3 or NH4Cl. Other non-volatile solids don't matter

Bulk equilibrium approach ignore the differences in the chemical driving forces of the specific aerosol "bins"
In size-resolved equilibrium approach, the chemical composition of discrete and internnally homogenous aeroosl size sections are considered to generate specific drving forces for each section

Carmichael (1998), JGR For cloud cover index values greater than 0.5, convective transport was assumed by "pumping" the near surface gas concentrations to cloud top elevations by "enhancing" the vertical eddy diffusivity.
IC was chosen at the lower end of the concentration range
high ozone levels were transported downward by high pressure systems which trail the cold front
Carmichael (2003), JGR Forecast vs. hindcast
Lightning NOx emissions are from cumulus area
Upper air is dominated by the boundary conditions, so the prediction for upper air is less structure
biomass emission transport in the warm conveyor belt at altitudes above ~2km
Carmichael (2007, 2008?), JCP Boundary layer structure and wind direction are poorly predicted meteorological variables.
Direct sensitivity analysis is source oriented approach. Adjoint sensitivity analysis is receptor-oriented approach.
Advection scheme may change from a high order, large stencil scheme inside the domain to a lower order, short stencil scheme near inflow boundaries
4D-var application typically increase the simulation time by factors of 50-80 over that of forward model.
Uncertainties associated with aerosol: emissions > Wet removel > chemical formation > vertical transport. BC may not have formation uncertainties but it's emission uncertainty is higher than that of sulfate. So it may not be a good accuracy indicator for models. sulfate should be the mostly accurately predicted aerosol species.
Carmichael (2008), AE source-receptor relationships were sensitive to uncertainties in sulfur emission, and secondarily to the driving meteorology. The variability of prdicted nitrate due to different aerosol module is as large as variability due to different CTMs. Boundary conditions are large uncertainty in regional model.
Castro (2005), JGR By RCM we mean a limited area model run for an integration time greater than 2 weeks, so that the sensitivity to IC is lost. Internal nudging did improve the representation of large scale freatures but weakened the variability for small scale features. Surface boundary forcing appeared to be the dominant factor in generating variability for small scale freatures and exerts greater control on the RCM solution.
Chai (2006), JGR Two assimilation methods are extensively used: Kalman filter method using a sequential approach, and 4D-var with a variational approach.
4D-var is used to adjust the IC of some species.
assimilate some observation into the model, but use other independent measurement to validate the model.
Chai (2007), JGR The advanced data assimilation such as four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4D-var) are more effective than the traditional techniques such as nudging and optimal interpolation(OI).
MM5 use AVN during forecasting and NCEP FNL analyzed data during postanalysis. Chemical BC use MOZART GFDL during forecasting and MOZART NCAR during postanalysis. MOZART NCAR assimilated MOPITT CO data
In this data assimilation, only initial ozone concentrations were adjusted.

Chapman (2008), ACPD The non-positive definite advection scheme may cause overprediction of PM2.5, especially for point sources. The positive definite advection scheme in WRF/Chem 3.0 could solved this problem. SO2 emission may be still overestimated.

Chen, J (2008) Forecasting system over pacific Northwest region (95*95*21 grid cells) CMAQ performs better for episodic ozone events (>50ppb), but systematically overpredicts levels < 40ppb. IC of CMAQ is from last hour of previous da's forecast, which reduce the need for model spin-up associated with static IC.

Fraction of local and regional source varies for different season.
Chen, L.-W. (2003), JAWMA In mid-Atlantic region, SO42- and carbonaceous material each accounts for 50% of clean air PM2.5 (<10ug/m3). but change to 60% and 20% for more polluted air PM (>30ug/m3)
Chen, S (2009,2010?), AE In polluted conditions the mechanistic details are less important than in cleaner conditions probably because of the dominance of reactive nitrogen chemistry under polluted conditions
Chessa (2004), WF
Limited-area Ensemble prediction systems nested into a global ensemble.           Users are often not interested in 'the most probable weather scenario' (described by a single deterministic forecast or by the ensemble-mean forecast) but need to access and quantify the risk of occurance of cimatologically rare but destructive events.            The effect on the forecast error of model uncertainties (different parameterization) is as important as the effect of initial uncertainties.    Better parameterization may have more positive effect on prediction than higher resolution.

Chow (2006), JGR High PM concentrations occur in winter. High concentration of NH4NO3 is vally-wide homogeneous, which accounts for 30-60% of PM25. The conceptual model could explain this: At night HNO3 form in the upper layer over cities, which will be transported to rural area wich has high NH3 emission. So the mix of NH3 and HNO3 will create NH4NO3. Next morning, the vertical mixing will bring NH4NO3 down to the surface.

Cooper (2002), JGR Midlatitude cyclones provide the energy necessary for most of the trace gas transport from North America to the western North Atlantic Ocean, even in summer when these systems are relatively weak. The classic midlatitude cyclone is composed of several airstreams such as the warm conveyor belt (WCB), cold conveyor belt (CCB), and dry air stream (DA).
Cooper (2004), JGR A wide variety of meteorological mechanisms export trace gases from the Asian ABL to the free troposphere, but in this paper WCBs(warm conveyor mechanism) are the most important mechanism for tranport of Asian pollution to North America
Despite the large descending motion of WCB over western North America, the magnitude of the descent was not great and most of the air mass passed over the USA in the middle and upper troposphere. So the tranport of pollution from Asia to North America does not necessarily have a large and immediate impact on surface trace gas mixing ratios.

Seems additive error approach is more accurate.      A single inflation factor may not be optimal over all parts of a model domain.

As indicated by the Richardson number profiles, the increased stability of the lower MABL suppressed turbulence, allowed the decoupling of LLJ from friction, providing a favourable environment for the development of inertial oscillations. Significant amplitudes of inertial motions, which were confirmed by the application of a Hilbert–Huang transform, are associated with the acceleration at the LLJ’s core, due to the frontal events and the subsequent frictional decoupling, both leading to a modification of the large-scale flow structure.

Kulmala (2003), Science Nucleation and initial growth may be decoupled under most condition. H2SO4 is involved in nucleation while organic vapor is involved in the initial growth stage
Kulmala (2004), JGR new particle formation is a two-stage process: 1, homogeneous nucleation of thermodyanmically stable clusters. 2, condensation and coagulation growth of the clusters into quasi-stable aerosol particles (>3nm). If such growth is not sufficient fast, the clusters coagulate with and removed by preexisting aerosol population and no new particle formation. H2SO4 is generally not abundant enough to drive growth of cluster into size > 2 nm. Organic vaper plays the role through nano-Kohler theory.
Kulmala (2004), ACP The formation and growth of atmospheric aerosols depend on several steps: nucleation, intial steps of growth and subsequent mainly condensational-growth. This paper focus on the initial steps of aerosol growth.
Seems the initial growth rate inclrease as a function of size, which is consistent with a recently suggested nano-Kohler mechanism, in which growth is activated at a certain size with respect to condensation of organic vapors.
nucleation and the subsequent growth of fresh nuclei are likely to be uncoupled phenomena via different participating vapors.

Kusaka (2001), BLM The diurnal range of the roof temperature was larger than that of the road as we expect physically: the entire thermal inertial of the road is greater than that of the roof as a result of its greater thickness, and the radiative cooling of the road is less than that of the roof due to its smaller sky view factor.
Kusaka (2004), JAM Nocturnal heat island is caused by anthropogenic heating and the following two effects of urban canyon structure: (i) a larger heat capacity due to the walls and (ii) a smaller sky-view factor.
Sensitivity experiments show that the anthropogenic heating increases the surface air temperature by 0.67ЊC at 0500 LST. The larger heat capacity due to the walls decreases the daytime temperature and increases the nocturnal temperature by 0.39ЊC at 0600 LST.) The smaller sky-view factor increases the temperature by 0.52ЊC at midnight.
The impact of albedo is not as large as the other factors, and its value is less than 0.15ЊC.
Anthro- pogenic heating increases the temperature through the day. However, the heating has a greater effect on the nocturnal temperature.
Kusaka (2004),JMSJ The difference between slab urban model and 1layer UCM are that the single-layer urban canopy model has a larger volumetric heat capacity and a smaller sky view factor due to the existence of a vertical urban surface . Another difference between the two models must be the ratio of the effective aerodynamic resistances to the transfer of heat.
The incorporation of the single-layer urban canopy model tends to reduce the diurnal vari- ation of the surface air temperature and to de- lay the phase.

Mckeen, S. (2007) JGR The equilibrium assumption requires that all particles have the same chemical composition for all species involved in gas-particle equilibrium.
The cold and moist conditions of 27 Km WRF/Chem allow incorporation of ammonia and nitrate So that NH4 can exceed the ammonium sulfate ratio of 2.
Night time sulfate in WRF/Chem is also very low due to the decoupling between the surface layer and layers aloft where sulfate is formed.

If unusually high concentrations of PM10 in late April 1998 were associated with local anthropogenic sources (i.e., transportation sources), it might be expected that O3 and CO concentrations whould show increases proportionate to those of PM10. But apparently O3 and CO concentrations didn't show such increasing. This leaves either a local crustal source (e.g., spring ploughing) or an alternative nonlocal source of PM.

Metzger (2002), JGR

solve gas/aerosol equilibrium partitioning noniteratively through parameterization of activity coefficient to speed up the equilibrium model, which is warrent urgently by the global modeling
Gas/aerosol partitioning only occurs for volatile and semivolatile aerosol compounds. For ammonium-sulfate-nitrate-water aerosol system it is only relevant to the ammonium nitrate salt. All other ammonium salts and nonneutralized sulfate are treated as nonvolatile.
The equilibrium model assumptions(thermodynamic equilibrium; internal mixing) are valid for inorganic salt compounds if the aerosol modeling is limited to the ammonium-sulfate-nitrate-water system.

Metzger (2002),JGR2 During winter and at night, aerosol loading is higher than without accounting for gas/aerosol partitioning because HNO3, NH4 partition completely into aerosol phase to yield ammonium nitrate.
Where limited ammonia is available, So2 reduction is not propotionally effective in reducing aerosol concentration becuase NH4NO3 wil replace (NH4)2SO4 to be in aerosol phase
Metzger (2006), ACP Small particles have shorter equilibrium time-scales than larger particles due to a larger surface to volume ratio. importance of mineral cations and organics in gas particle partitioning, which are both considered in EQSAM2
Metzger (2007), ACP In classical equilibrium thermodynamics, water is held constant, also the activity coefficient used is measured under laboratory condition. So the classical equilibrium thermodynamics is defined for laboratory condition, but applied to atmosperic modeling.

Myhre, Metzger (2006), ACP Mass transfer is done in 2 steps: 1st fine mode is equilibriated with gas phase. 2nd, coarse mode is equilibriated with gas phase. So thermodynamic equilibrium is solved twice. So by doing so, two modes are seperated. Na2SO4 is not allowed to form, which would have been predicted if all species are treated together in one equilibrium calculation.

Neirynck (2005), AE Simple resistance model is used Ra+Rb+Rc. The compensation point is modulated by leaf temperature but also depends on nitrogen status, plant development stage etc. In contrast with fertilized crops, semi-natural vegetation is generally regarded a perfect sink for NH3.
Neirynck (2008), EP Net-emission occurance is widely accepted, but its origin(stomata, cuticle) remained speculative. Evidence was found that the emission potential from stomata might vary accross season. Sutton 1998 AE's models are tested. The static model (Single layer canopy compensation point-cuticular resistance model) didn't work out because Rw parameterizations were not robust enough.
Nemitz (2000), AFM Dry deposition schemes to be used in operation CTM should be easy to calculate and based on as few variables as possible.
Accuracy vs. simplicity and applicability.
Live leaves were a net sink as leaf compensation points were smaller than air concentrations. While the 3-layer model provides the better mechanistic representation of the exchange process, 2-layer model provide a simplified generalized approach for application to CTM.
Nemitz (2001), QJRMS For implementation in ATMs, simple resistance approaches are needed which is computationally efficient and their input parameters are available. Simple Rc approach is only applicable to (semi-) natural vegetation where only deposition occurs,( i.e., no emission of NH3). However, NH3 volatilization from vegetation and fertilizers contribute significantly to global total NH3 emission (23%). If exchange of NH3 is dominated by the foliage, then one-layer Xc model is adequate. But over spare canopy, it may not work. The two-layer Xc model treat bi-directional stomatal transport, cuticular deposition as well as emissions from at ground surface.
Nemitz (2004a), ACP Given the much faster exchange rate of gaseous species if compared with their pariculate conterparts, the phase partitioning between gas and aersol can have a significant effect on local budgets and atmospheric transport distances.
Even the deposition of normally alkaline ammonia gas and neutral ammonium aerosol can cause acidification depending on their fate within soil
NH3 fluxes show mainly deposition, with some periods of significant daytime emission.
NH3 exchange could be reproduced by toth Rc model (deposition fluxes only) and canopy compensation point model.
Ammonia emission from plant foliage can be the result of either of a stomatal compensation point or desorption from leaf surface. Observations confirmed stomatal exchange dominates.

Neu et al. (1994), BLM O3 mixed down from RL contributes 50-70% to the maximum concentration near the surface on the following day. The rest come from chemical production and possibly advection.

Neuman (2003), JGR The vertical gradients in the observed HNO3 and particle mixing ratios, but not in other trace gases(co, o3) indicated the equilibrium time for ammonium nitrate aerosol formation was faster than boundary layer mixing time. Air mixing in BL is around 10-20 min. Time scale for fine particulate ammonium nitrate formation is about minutes, which is quicker than other time dependent changes in the atmosphere.
Neuman (2006), JGR Over the Gulf of Maine, a strong temperature inversion isolated the air in the MBL from that above. Vertical mixing is suppressed by the highly stable stratification, and high concentrations of pollutants can be transported long distance. Transport of HNO3 is important for ocean plant life, which is sensitive to the location and magnitude of nitrate deposition to the ocean surface.

Pun (1999), AE A conceptual model is a qualitative compilation of the physical and chemical processes that govern the formation of PM, which, to the extent possible, is supported by quantitative information.
Pun (2001), EST PM formation in SJV is HNO3 sensitive, HNO3 formation is oxidant sensitive, and oxidant formation is sensitive to reduction in VOC emissions.
Pun (2008), EST Satisfactory model performance does not guarantee that the models can correctly predict the effects of changes in pollutant emissions on PM concentrations because the ability of a mathematical model to calculate a state variable does not necessarily imply the ability to predict its derivatives with respect to input variables.
A dynamic evaluation is needed to provide information on the ability of the model to reproduce the response of concentrations to changes in emissions. Dynamic evaluations are typically not feasible because of a lack of observations associated with the emission sensitivity scenario.
The response is subject to less uncertainty than the base or sensitivity simulations, because biases in both the base and sensitivity scenarios will cancel to some extent.
Although good agreement among the models is not necessarily a guarantee that all models would predict the response correctly, large discrepancies among the models will necessarily imply incorrect responses predicted by at least some of the models.

Quinn (1998), JGR The majority of the sea-salt aerosol mass is found in the coarse mode but has been reported on occasion to dominate the mass concentration of the accumulation mode size range as well.
Low gas phase NH3 concentrations resulted in only partially neutralized nss SO4= aeroosl. The predicted equilibrium concentration of NH3(g) by AeRho agree well with the 3 to 30 pptv values measured. So NH3 appears to have been in equilibrium between these two atmospheric phases.
Quinn (2005), JGR Sea salt dominates the sub- and supermicron aerosol mass in remote marine atmosphere. So we may re-consider source function of sea-salt.
High POM mass is found in NE US plume! useful for NEAQS2004. POM=1.6*OC
NO3- is almost entirely associated with coarse mode sea salt.
Quinn (2006), JGR Close to the source region, the aerosol was neutral with an equivalence ratio near one, and POM mass fraction is high. As distance from the source region increased, SO2 was converted to SO4=. With no additional NH3 to buffer the acid uptake. So aerosol become acidic and POM fraction decrease with distance.

Different models with different resolutions show similar performance in terms of convectional verification metrics. In some locations increasing resolution will have little positive impact where the diurnal power in spectrum is very small compared with the power in the superdiurnal band (synoptic scale) and in the subdiurnal band (poorly observed and therefore largely unpredictable small scales)
In contrast to convectional measures, the AC illustrates that the high resolution model has more skill where the local diurnal forcing is greatest.

The approach of filtering: all of the information is used up to and including the considered analysis time.     Monto Carlo filter has two kinds: stochastic (require perturbed obs)  and deterministic (which does no require perturbed obs).      When spread is "too small" the filter believes it performs better than it does in reality. This behavior is called filter divergence.   The analysis spread among the ensemble members always underestimate the mean squred difference between the ensemble mean and the true state and the filter is therefor naturally subject to divergence.

Stroud (2005), JGR It is important to include escape efficiency estimates for sesquiterpenes within biogenic emission processing systems for regional air quality models;
Since biogenic escape efficiencies were only moderately sensitive to anthropogenic pollution levels, a simple parameterization of escape efficiencies in regional air quality model may be possible.

Sugawara (2001), JMSJ The effective thermal property parameter for a town-scale urban area was found to be two to four times larger than that of the surface material component. The explanation for this, shown by several model simulations and other radiometric observations, was total surface area increased due to urban canyon structure.
The thermal property of the urban surface has been set to be the same as its component material in many models. This study demonstrated that thermal inertia should be a few times larger than that of the component material in a bulk model that does not deal with the canyon shape explicitly.

Sun (1998b), AE Hydrogen ion in aerosol is in equilibrium. So condensation of NH3, H2SO4, HNO3,HCl is coupled. Under foggy condition, a heterogeneous module runs instead of aerosol module.
Sun, Yele (2004), AE The contributions of mineral aerosol from outside Beijing were first estimated with a newly developed element tracer technique: (Mg/Al)aerosol = m x (Mg/Al)local + n x (Mg/Al)non-local
Yao(2003) speculated that cloud process and non-cloud heterogeneous process were responsible for the formation of sulfate in summer and in spring, respectively
Sutton (1998), AE The usual resistance model quantifies the affinity of the pollutant for the surface using a canopy resistance Rc, but is essentially only suitable to describe deposition. To simulate bi-directional exchange, a frame work is required to treat both source of NH3(stomatal emission, soil emission) and sinks (cuticular uptake, stomatal uptake). The simple Rc model may suffice for upland ecosystems where emission of NH3 is rare, Canopy compensation point-cuticular resistance model (Xc-Rw) model is suited for long-term emstimation of NH3 fluxes.
Single-layer/big leaf model.
Sutton (2000), AFM Apoplastic [NH4+] and pH of leaves show no diurnal patterns. Decomposing litter is a significant NH3 source, explaining nocturnal NH3 emissions and larger emissions following cutting. 2-layer model is recommended to be used in ATMs, because of its balance between simplicity and adequate process description.
Sutton (2001), PS 2-layer model provides a balance between detail and ease of applicability. The detailed NH3 exchange models need to be generalized to a form that can be applied widely with suitable input data to be used in CTM. While livesttock dominate point source NH3 emissions, exchange with vegetation play a major role in regulating both air concentration and the extent of long-range transport. NH3 is emitted from intensive agricultral ecosystems, while semi-natural ecosystems act as NH3 sinks.
Sutton (2007), EP Very nice figure for Nemitz(2001)'s 2-layer compensation point model. Nemitz's model may be sensitive to different plant growth stage, on which the compensation point will depend.

Tagaris (2007), JGR Future pollutant concentrations are more sensitive to the expected change in emissions than to the expected change in climate change (e.g., temperature) Emissions of SO2, NOx are projected to decrease by ~50% in 2050 considering all facters including climate change, growth in human activity, and emission controls. O3 and PM2.5 concentration will be lower in 2050 comparing to 2001. OC will dominate PM2.5

Fresh dust doesn't contain gypsum. So all sulfate associated with dust surface come from gas phase.
Heterogeneous chemistry is handled by SCAPE.
Calcium in the dust affects the gas-aerosol equilibrium by shifting the equilibrium balance to an anion-limited status, which benefits the uptake of sulfate and nitrate, but reduces the amount of aerosol ammonium
Tang, Youhua (2007), JGR Most regional chemical transport models have used fixed concentration profiles as their BC, thus the corresponding specific variability in the regional simulation mainly reflects the contributions of emissions, transport and chemical processes within the model domain.
Using global model BC can bring time-varied external signals to the regional domain, and reflect certain event informations such as biomass burning, stratospheric intrusion, and Asian air mass inflow.
O3 below 3km is not sensitive to BC, but beyond 3km, o3 is dominated by BCs. CO is impacted by BCs for all the layers.

AQM show considerable skill at forecasting boundary layer ozone but have serous discrepancies in the free troposphere. This may due to BC and stratosphere influx.
Taubman (2004), JAS Appalachian Lee Trough and the nocturnal low-level jet often associated with air pollution events in the eastern US.
In PBL the lift times of most precusor species are relatively short because of deposition. So after escaping into lower free troposphere the lifetime is protracted. So air parcel there could be more photochemical aged. So more O3 and larger particles were observed in low free troposphere.
Taubman (2006), JGR Air mass from northern Ohio River Vally results in high pollution in New England area. Slightly different conclusion from Kleinman (2000), which think the air mass from W-SW, along the north-east corridor, will results in high pollution in New England area.

Theeuwes (2013), JGR Nice flat UHI during nighttime.
the single layer urban canopy model (Kusaka et al., 2001, Chen et al., 2011) with adjustments from Loridan et al. (2010) is used, which is coupled to the NOAH land surface scheme (Ek et al., 2004) The only deviation from these default values is that no anthropogenic heat flux is prescribed.
Generally, the warmer air in the city rises and transports in the air from the rural surroundings into the city itself; this effect is called the urban breeze and has been described a number of times before (e.g. Hidalgo et al., 2008). However, this phenomenon has not been discovered in this modeling study. This is caused by a relatively high background wind speed in this case, which is around 5 ms-1 during the day and 2.5 ms-1 at night.

Tie (2003), JGR considering clouds, the global OH concentration will increase, O3 concentration will also increase in the middle and upper troposphere, overall O3 will increase. Since OH increase, CO will decrease.
Tie (2006), AE Since there is less VOC in Eastern China than in the Eastern US, O3 formation rate and O3 concentration in summer is lower in Eastern China than in the Eastern US. Biogenic emissions of VOC contribute substantially to the production of O3 in the Eastern US.
Tie (2007), AE O3 is produced via oxidation of alkenes and aromatic HCs during the day and removed by NO at night. O3 production in the metropolitan area of Mexico City is HC limited.

The EnKF and other ensemble data assimilation methods belong to the family of square root filters. After assimilation of observations, the analysis ensemble can be constructed stochastically or deterministically.    Schur products can be used to filter ensemble covariances and effectively increase covariance rank.      Covariance inflation is one simple way of accounting for model error and stabilizing the filter.
Tiwary (2007), EMS If the residence time of air parcel is long enough (longer than the life time of isoprene to OH and NO3), then chemical reaction may need to be considered in the model. Chemical process of isoprene in canopy is not considered in this study
Tjernstrom (2009), JAS The RL turbulence could be as strong as in the underlying stable boundary layer.
The gravity waves generated by flow over the low-relief terrain may be responsible for the locally enhanced turbulence in the residual layer.

Trebs (2005), JGR 4 thermodynamic models are used to study equilibrium using observed data in Amazon. The thermodynamic model EQSAM2 includes organic acids! (not explicitly modeling the thermodynamics of organic acids tough) In the tropic site in Amazon Basin, NO3-, Cl-, SO4= were balanced predominantly by mineral cations(particularly K+). NH4+ is largely neutralized by LMW polar organic acids. So in such case, to simulate the gas/aerosel partition, the equilibrium model'd better consider both mineral species and organic acid.
Trebs (2006), ACP Dry deposition of NH3 is inferred using sutton et al (1998)'s dynamic canopy compensation point model. Grass surface appeared to have a strong potential for daytime NH3 emission, owing to high canopy compensation points. The exchange of NO, NH3, HONO and NO2 between surface and atmosphere may be bi-directional. The predicted bi-directional NH3 flux are most sensitive to the H+ and NH4+ concentrations in the apoplastic fluid.
Trier et al. (2011), WF YSU produce less precipitation in high plains due to less moisture in PBL induced by stronger vertical mixing.
The more rapid initiation in simulations with strong surface exchange results from a more rapid removal of negative buoyancy beneath the level of free convection, which arises primarily from greater PBL warming.
Tulet (2005), JGR Gaseous species that interact with aerosol phase are from two different categories: mineral and organic species. Mineral thermodynamic balance is predicted by ISORROPIA or ARES. Meso-NH-C model is online model.

Walker (2006), AFM Over a soybean canopy, emission fluxes were consistently observed during the late morning and early afternoon. Uptake via the leaf cuticle dominate stomatal uptake as a deposition process. Near the source of NH3, dry deposition is high, while the flux is bi-directional further downwind owing to the presense of compensation point. Cuticular resistance was large due to dry condition and accumulation of NH3 on leaf surfaces.
Walker (2008), AE Nemitz et al. (2001)'s two-layer canopy compensation point model is applied. Cuticular uptake is the primary deposition process though stomatal and ground uptake also play some roles.
Wang, M.-X.(2001), Advances in AS Dust is transported to the upper layer through the daytime vertical turbulent diffusion in the PBL and the upward current in front zones. The horizontal transportation of dust general occurs in two layers: in lower layer (below 4 km), dust is moved by the cold front; and in upper layer (above 4 km), dust is transported in the westerly belt, which is very efficient and faster.
The sulfur transport is largely limited to the 2-6 km level of the atmosphere.

Watson and Chow (2002), AE Conceptual model for SJV PM formation: Nitraic acid is formed in the upper layer at night, and is prevented from deposition by surface inversion. So the nitric acid is available over non-urban areas with high ammonium emissions to rapidly form NH4NO3, which will reach the surface next morning because of vertical mixing.
Watson (2006), JAWMA nanoparticle (3-10 nm), ultrafine (10-100nm) Although SO2emissions in california are low, the small residual amount is sufficient to initiate nucleation event.

Give mass flux for both aqueous phase and solid particles: These flux can be affect by surface heating due to the latent heat of condensation and motion of the particle. But they are negligible. Have I touched Dr. Braham's question?
Wexler and Seinfeld (1991), AE In AIM, equilibrium composition is calculated by directly minimizing the Gibbs free energy. Kusik and Meissner is used to predict activity coefficient. At low RH conditions, mass transfer calculation is challange since small change of hydrogen ion will result in large change of ph due to small water. so surface vapor pressure need to be evaluated frequently.
Wexler (1992), AE If the aerosol is in solid state or osmotically dominated by ammonium nitrate, the surface equilibrium concentration can't change, so tp is infinite. Aerosol is hygroscopically externally mixed, ammonium nitrate only transport to a hydrophilic fraction of the particles. So use of the overall number distribution to estimate gas equilibrium time tends to overestimate the surface area available for transport (condensation)
Wexler (1994), AE up to 70% of organics and 90% of inorganics can be of secondary origin. Water is in equilibrium. accommodation coef. 0.01. Condensation if more important comparing with Coagulation, nucleation when considering the mass concentration
computational efficiency of condensation solver is not important since the time spend by thermodynamic model dominates
time step is small enough that the condensation rate is constant when integrate the condensation equation. So it must be too computational expensive. is this the reason Lurmann move to equilibrium approach in the companion paper?
Wexler (2002), JGR extend AIM to include double salts and to low temperature condition, which could be potentially applied to stratosphere. Double salts may form in some coastal cities. So the extended AIM may be useful for such cases.
Whitaker (2002), MWR
If the same obs. and same gain are used to update each member of the ensemble, the ensemble will systematically underestimate analysis error covariance, which may lead to filter divergence.     In EnSRF, the traditional gain is used to update ensemble mean but a reduced gain is used to update deviations from ensemble mean, while in EnKF these two gains are the same.         Techniques to boost ensemble variance are almost always necessary in ensemble data assimilation to prevent filter divergence.
