Lake Michigan Shoreline: WI’s worst ozone problems
Draft ozone design values:2012-2014
2014 data have been QA’ed but are not yet been reviewed by EPA

Emissions and ozone are way down, but…LADCO model projections for 2018

One problem: Models don’t do a good job reproducing the lake breeze• Can’t accurately model ozone along the lakeshore• Needed for attainment demonstrations, etc.
Major needs for Wisconsin:• Understand the lake breeze better• Improve modeling of the lake breeze

Use of paired lakeshore-inland monitors
DRAFT 2012-14 Design ValuesData have been QA’ed but have not been reviewed by EPA
Operated 20143.25 miles inland
Operated 2013 & 20143.5 miles inland

23
Conclusions:
• Ozone drops off sharply within a few km of the shoreline
• Ozone concentrations and concentration differences are largest with southerly winds• Exact direction varies depending on geography• Very narrow range of wind direction for a site
• Different wind conditions lead to high ozone inland versus on the lakeshore
24
Other Efforts:
1) Fine-scale modeling of the Lake Michigan lake breeze• AQAST Re-Analysis Tiger Team project: Brad Pierce & Scott Spak
2) Model validation from the 1994-2003 LADCO Aircraft Project• Theresa Foley, Army Research Laboratory
3) Ground-based and satellite analysis of ozone precursors in WI• Tracey Holloway & students
4) Comparison and origins of ozone trends in WI and Chicago• Ping Jing (Loyola U.) and David Streets
5) New field campaign???
