CAMx-PSATSource Apportionment
Modeling Results
Stationary Sources Joint Forum

August 17, 2006
Source Apportionment Technique
• CAMx air quality model with PM Source Apportionment Technology (PSAT)
• PSAT being completed for 2 cases:– Plan 2002c– Base 2018b
• Tracks sources of sulfate and nitrate• Tracking organic carbon too computationally
intensive. However, data is available that delineates primary OC, from biogenic SOA, and anthropogenic SOA.

Eight Source Categories
• Examples of PSAT “sources”:– MV_CO = mobile sources in Colorado– PT_CE = point sorces in CENRAP– BCON = transport from modeling domain boundaries (derived from
GEOS-CHEM)
ICON Initial conditions
BCON Boundary conditions
PT Point sources
MV Mobile sources
ANF WRAP anthropogenic fires
Natural WRAP natural fires and biogenics
NWF Elevated fires in other RPOs
AR All other sources (non-elevated fires in other RPOs, area sources, offshore, oil & gas area sources, etc.)
Status of Modeling
• Plan 2002c just completed• Base 2018b to be completed by end of August
– Several months currently completed• Results currently available for daily and monthly
averages• Results will be provided for 20% best and worst
visibility days at each Class I area
Alternative Formats forPresenting Results
• All examples are for July SO4• All examples pair 2002 and 2018 on same chart• Format 1: Top 10 sources (TONT, GRCA, ROMO, BADL)
• Format 2: By source region (BADL)
• Format 3: By source category (BADL)
• Format 4: By source “controlability” (BADL)
