The Effects of Different Planetary Boundary Layer Schemes on the Meteorological and Environmental Elements in winter stable weather of Shenyang

Abstract

Two planetary boundary layer schemes (YUS and MYJ) in the WRF-CMAQ model, are selected for sensitivity simulation, and the simulation capabilities of different planetary boundary layer schemes to meteorological elements and PM2.5 concentration distribution are analyzed from December 17th to December 20th in 2016. The results show that using the YSU and MYJ schemes can well simulate the spatial distribution and diurnal variation characteristics of temperature, wind speed and PM2.5 concentration on the ground under the background of stable weather in winter. It is sensitive to temperature, wind speed and PM2.5 concentration on the ground using different planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes. The simulated wind speed is relatively large, and the maximum deviation can reach about 2m/s. The deviation of wind speed using the MYJ scheme is relatively small than YSU, which is closer to the real value. There has a lower PM2.5 concentration value using YSU than MYJ at night, however the daytime (mainly from 11:00 to 18: 00) YSU scheme is relatively higher than MYJ. The deviation of PM2.5 concentration on the ground using the MYJ scheme is relatively smaller than YSU, and the characteristics of daily variation is closer to the real situation. Overall, the MYJ scheme is better than YSU in air pollution simulation.
