Description

MOCAGE (Modèle de Chimie Atmosphérique de Grande Echelle) is the Chemistry –Transport Model developed by Meteo-France. It aims at simulating atmospheric composition, including both gases and aerosols, for a wide range of applications: air quality forecasting to studies, impact of climate change, volcanic ash tracking, etc…

MOCAGE is a flexible model that can use a global configuration but also limited-area domains using finer resolutions. Its grid-nesting capability offers the possibility to run several nested domains at the same time with increasing resolution. One of the standard configurations consists of a global domain at 1 degree resolution and a regional European domain at 0.1 degree. The vertical grid uses a hybrid coordinate following the surface orography close to the surface and isobars in the upper levels. There are two configurations proposed for the vertical grid: a configuration with 47 vertical levels up to 5 hPa with 7 levels in the boundary layer, 20 in the troposphere and 20 in the stratosphere and a configuration with 60 levels up to 0.01 hPa, being an extended version of the 47 levels configuration.

MOCAGE being a Chemistry-Transport Model, it makes use of meteorological conditions (pressure, wind, temperature, etc…) calculated by another model such as ARPEGE, AROME, IFS for air quality forecasts or ARPEGE-Climat for climate simulations. Emissions that are required as input in the model come mostly from inventories. A few species are emitted dynamically, for instance the desert dust particles injected in the atmosphere that are a function of the wind intensity.

Based on these inputs (meteorology and emissions), MOCAGE simulates for each gaseous and aerosol species the horizontal and vertical transport at different scales, physical processes such as scavenging, dry deposition at surface or sedimentation for aerosols, and also chemical processes.

For gaseous chemistry, the chemical scheme merges the tropospheric scheme RACM (Stockwell, 1997) and the stratospheric scheme REPROBUS (Lefèvre, 1994) with the addition of the sulphur cycle. It includes 112 species and 379 reactions, giving the possibility to simulate air quality, tropospheric composition and the stratospheric ozone layer.

Aerosols are simulated by MOCAGE by a bin approach, with 6 size classes per type of aerosols. Primary aerosols are desert dust, sea salts, black carbon, organic carbon and several types of pollens. Secondary organic and inorganic (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium) aerosols formed from gaseous precursors are represented.

There is also a lighter and faster version of the model, called MOCAGE-Accident, that describes the transport in the atmosphere of plumes generated by point-source emissions. This version can also be used in backward mode to determine the geographical location of the emission of a pollutant.

Both versions of MOCAGE (with and without chemistry) are fully operational at Meteo-France. For instance, MOCAGE-Accident has been extensively used during the period of the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull Icelandic volcano in 2010 and of the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. MOCAGE is also run daily since 2005 for Prev’Air, the French national program for air quality (http://www2.prevair.org/) that provides daily forecasts of major air quality pollutants. It is also one of the models contributing to the multi-model ensemble that produces operationally air quality forecasts and analyses over Europe in the frame of the Copernicus European program (http://www.regional.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/).

There is also a wide range of research applications of MOCAGE. In air quality research, it has been involved since 2001 in ESCOMPTE project with focus on the South of France and more recently in CHARMEX program over the Mediterranean area. MOCAGE was also used in many research projects such as GEMS, MACC, MACC-II, MACC-III, VolcHalClim, .... .

Another application is the study of the impact of climate change on atmospheric composition. At the global scale, MOCAGE participates to CCM-I inter-comparison project. It was also involved in IMPACT2C European project aiming at quantifying the various impacts of a +2 degree climate. MOCAGE contributed as part of a 4-model ensemble, to the air quality part of the project.

MOCAGE has also a data assimilation system based on variational techniques (MOCAGE-PALM) which is jointly developed with CERFACS . It is used to assimilate satellite observations of air composition (ozone, CO, AOD, ...), in situ air quality measurements and to prepare future spaceborne instruments via OSSE techniques.
