Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Surface ozone (O 3 ) in Southeast Michigan (SEMI) often exceeds US National Ambient Air Quality Standards, posing risks to human health and agroecosystems. SEMI, a relatively small region in the state of Michigan, contains most of the state's anthropogenic emission sources and more than half of the state's population and is also prone to long-range and transboundary pollutant transport. Here, we explore the distribution of O 3 and its precursors, such as nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and volatile organic compounds, over SEMI during the summer of 2021 using the chemistry–climate model MUSICAv0 (Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols Version 0). Using the regional refinement capabilities of MUSICAv0, we create a custom grid over the state of Michigan of 1/16° (∼ 7 km) to better understand the local-scale impacts of chemical and dynamic complexity in SEMI and compare it with a grid with 1/8° (∼ 14 km) resolution over the contiguous United States. Model simulations are evaluated using a comprehensive suite of observations from Phase I of the Michigan–Ontario Ozone Source Experiment (MOOSE) field campaign. MUSICAv0, with its higher horizontal grid resolution, showed excellent skill in capturing peak O 3 concentrations but showed larger variation in the simulation of O 3 precursors (e.g., NO x , HCHO, isoprene). In addition, we implement a diurnal cycle for anthropogenic nitric oxide (NO) emissions, which is generally not included in global models. As a result, modeled nighttime O 3 is improved because of lower NO x concentrations during the night. This work shows that when conceptualizing models in urban regions, it is important to consider a combination of high horizontal resolution and the diurnal cycle of emissions, as they can have important implications for the simulation of secondary air pollutants.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
