ozone and CO forming potential

[Aus_UFORE_user]

Does the latest version fo UFORE/ECO calculate the ozone and CO forming potential of trees (based on their BVOC emissions)?
The methods are described in earlier UFORE methods papers but one I read (Nowak et al (2008) A Ground-Based Method of Assessing Urban Forest Structure and Ecosystem Services) has no mention of O3 and CO formation from BVOC emissions and there is no option when configuring the standard UFORE output that refers to formation potentials.

There has been no change in how Eco/UFORE calculates ozone & CO formation in the latest version. I looked at the papers that you mentioned and see that the original UFORE methods paper mentions CO and ozone forming potential of trees is computed whereas the more recent paper does not discuss this. However, there was never a specific output provided with detailed CO & ozone forming potential of trees. Although the model calculates hourly reductions, the results are provided in a monthly pollutant removal format which is why this is not an option that can be configured during project set up.

Let us know if having hourly data is critical to your research project and we can see if Syracuse can provide the raw hourly data outputs.

No the hourly data isnt critical, it isnt a major part of my analysis, I was just curious as to how the results for that were presented/incorporated into the output.

Thanks
