26 Outline Goals background Model performance sensitivity analysis of emission in major pollutants Summary

27 Summary Basically EMS can simulate the daily change of PM 10,SO 2 and NO 2, and EMS showed the different performance in different season. The concentration of PM 10,PM 2.5 in shanghai was mainly influenced by local area emission(65.03%). The point emission(63.8%) was the major factor caused the continual high concentration of SO 2.The line emission(56.9%)was the major factor caused the high concentration of NO 2. The SO 2 emission of Jiangsu might contribute to SO 2 concentration of Shanghai, especially in cold season.

28 Next step Improve the performance of numerical models Continuous Evaluation of the model operational performance Adjustment of the model simulation by observation Evaluation of emission inventory uncertainty Ozone and aerosol formation study Policy making
