Pollution problem _at_ Temuco

• High concentrations of PM10 in winter (mar-sep)
• Peaks of 800 µgr/m3, 24h concentrations peaks of
  270 µgr/m3 (1)
• 92 of the emissions come from houses (2)

KAMM-DRAIS Model Input

• Meteorological Data NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis
• Emissions data no data, estimations based in a
  1996 study 330 ton/year
• Soil-use data estimated
• Soil water content data estimated
• Topographical data taken from internet databases

Temuco Project

• Universidad de La Frontera
• Center for Modeling and Scientific Computation
  Faculty of Engineering, Sciences and
  Administration Department of Physics Sciences
• DIDUFRO Estudio de la Meteorología de la IX
  Región en Condiciones de Invierno (Meteorological
  study of IX Region in winter conditions)

Temuco Project Objectives

• Make a characterization of a meteorologically
  typical winter day
• Understand the outputs generated by KAMM
• Graphical representation of the model output data

9
Computational Adaptation of the Model

• KAMM _at_ Germany Vector computer (VPP)

• KAMM _at_ Temuco High-End PC (x86 platform, 2.0
  GHz, 2 GB RAM)

• Only meteorological model running, dispersion
  section (DRAIS) not yet implemented
• Grid 144x114 (2x2 Km2), 25 levels

10
KAMM _at_ Temuco Work in progress

• Better knowledge about the model
• Routine documentation
• How-to-run manuals
• How-to-make-graphics (in GrADS) manuals
• Improved input data
• Data mining
• GIS-helped soil data

Forthcoming work / cooperation

• Tool for discovering/studying potential wind
  farms sites
• Campaign of measurements in Temuco, University of
  Stockholm (mar-jul 2005)
• Better residential emissions inventory/estimations
