arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: Evaluation of Regional Isoprene Emission Estimates in California Based on Direct Airborne Flux Measurements
"Evaluation of Regional Isoprene Emission Estimates in California
Based on Direct Airborne Flux Measurements".
Allen H. Goldstein, Ph.D., and
Pawel K. Misztal, Ph.D.,
University of California, Berkeley
Friday, June 12, 2015 10:00 a.m., PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California
Accurately modeled Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound (BVOC)
emissions are an essential input to atmospheric chemistry
simulations of ozone and particle formation. BVOC emission models
originate from leaf and branch level measurements with scaling to
regional or larger spatial levels based on vegetation landcover
data derived Basal Emission Factors (BEFs), but they generally
lack validation by regional scale measurements. We directly
assess isoprene emission-factor databases for BVOC emission
models by deriving BEFs from direct airborne fluxes aggregated at
2 km resolution and averaged spatially over ecoregions covering
~10,000 km of California. Ecoregion averaged BEFs from the
landcover used by the Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols
from Nature (MEGAN) v. 2.1 BVOC emission model agreed within 10%
(r²=0.82) with measured BEFs, with few discrepancies (either
overestimation or underestimation). For more go to the

arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: Deriving Roof Albedo for Seven California Cities Using Remote Sensing
Deriving Roof Albedo for Seven California Cities Using Remote
Sensing.
George Ban-Weiss Ph.D., University of Southern California,
Ronnen Levinson, Ph.D., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,

1001 I Street, Sacramento, California
Cool roofs reflect sunlight and therefore can reduce cooling
energy use in buildings. Further, since roofs typically cover
about 20-25% of a city, widespread deployment of cool roofs could
mitigate the urban heat island effect and partially counter urban
temperature increases associated with global scale climate
change. The magnitude of these potential benefits for a given
city depends on the increase in albedo that can be achieved using
reflective roofs. Assessing this increase requires knowledge of
roof albedo at the city scale, which until now has been hindered
by a lack of reflectance data with sufficient spatial coverage,
spatial resolution, and spectral detail.

arbcombo -- Notice of Public Meeting June 25, 2015
The Air Resources Board will conduct a public meeting at the time
and place noted below to consider the approval of the Proposed
Fiscal Year 2015-16 Funding Plan for Low Carbon Transportation
Investments and the Air Quality Improvement Program.
DATE: June 25, 2015
TIME: 9:00 a.m.
PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency
Air Resources Board
Byron Sher Auditorium
1001 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814
Directions: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EPABldg/location.htm
To provide your comments before the Board meeting and to view the
Notice, please go to:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php
Interested members of the public may present comments orally or
in writing at the meeting and may provide comments by postal mail
or by electronic submittal before the meeting. To be considered
by the Board, written comments not physically submitted at the
meeting, must be received no later than 5:00 pm, June 22, 2015.
The report may be obtained from ARB's website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/aqip/
Further inquiries regarding this matter should be directed to Mr.
Andrew Panson, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-2809,
or Mr. Ali Koohestani, Air Resources Technician, at (916)
324-1590.
Background: The Governor's proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget
includes $350 million to ARB from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Fund for Low Carbon Transportation investments. This funding
would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with a priority on
benefiting disadvantaged communities. The Governor's proposed
State Budget also includes $23 million to ARB for the Air Quality
Improvement Program (AQIP) which provides mobile source
incentives to reduce criteria pollutant, air toxic, and GHG
emissions. The Low Carbon Transportation investments build upon
and greatly expand the technology advancing projects ARB has
funded through AQIP since 2009.
The proposed FY 2015-16 Funding Plan describes how these combined
funds will be spent. The plan describes ARB's policy drivers and
vision for advanced technology mobile source investments,
eligible project categories and criteria, project funding
allocations, and program implementation details. ARB staff has
developed a joint plan for both funding sources to ensure
synergistic investments between the programs while also ensuring
that statutory requirements applicable to each are met. The
investments proposed in this Funding Plan are predicated on the
approval of the proposed FY 2015-16 State Budget.
California faces ambitious goals to reduce GHG emissions, improve
air quality, deploy zero-emission vehicles, and reduce petroleum
dependency. The investments identified in the proposed FY
2015-16 Funding Plan are pivotal to meeting these goals by
accelerating the development and deployment of advanced mobile
source technologies.

arbcombo -- ARB releases SLCP Concept Paper and announces May 27th Public Workshop
The Air Resources Board (ARB) has released, for public review, a
concept paper to initiate discussion on the development of a
Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy.
Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane,
tropospheric ozone, black carbon, and fluorinated gases. They
are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a
much shorter period of time than longer-lived climate pollutants,
including carbon dioxide. Their relative potency, when measured
in terms of how they heat the atmosphere, can be tens to
thousands of times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014) requires
ARB, in coordination with other state agencies and local air
districts, to develop a SLCP Strategy by the end of 2015, to
further reduce SLCP emissions in California.
The Concept Paper presents initial ideas that will be considered
and evaluated in the coming months by ARB staff, in coordination
with other agencies, as it develops a SLCP Strategy pursuant to
SB 605. The concepts included in this discussion draft do not
represent commitments at this time, nor do they comprise an
exhaustive list of elements or considerations that may be
included in the Strategy or shape its development. The intent of
the paper is to elicit new ideas and refine strategies to reduce
emissions of SLCPs throughout the state.
The Concept Paper will be discussed at a May 27, 2015, public
workshop. The comments received on the Concept Paper will
inform the development of a draft Strategy that ARB expects to
release for public comment later this summer. ARB welcomes broad
participation among stakeholders, experts and interested parties
throughout this process.
The Concept Paper and workshop notice can be found at ARB's
Short-Lived Climate Pollutant website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm The website
also contains a link for submitting written comments. An agenda
and presentation will be posted before the workshop.

arbcombo -- ARB Research Seminar: Technical Analysis of Vehicle Load-Reduction Potential for Advanced Clean Cars
"Technical Analysis of Vehicle Load-Reduction Potential for
Advanced Clean Cars".
"Presentation is available for downloading"
Greg Pannone, President
CT-ENERGY, LLC
Tuesday, May 5, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST)
Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California
In addition to strict fuel and emission standards, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions will require passenger cars and
light-duty trucks to have improved aerodynamics, fuel-efficient
tires, and reduced weight. In support of the California Air
Resources Board's Advanced Clean Cars program, these technologies
were assessed for their potential in reducing carbon dioxide
(CO₂) emissions and increasing fuel economy in future
passenger vehicles. Model year 2014 vehicles were studied to
determine the extent to which these load reducing technologies
have already been applied. Using manufacturer-reported
information, the aerodynamic drag and tire rolling resistance
were estimated for each vehicle model. Vehicle curb weight was
combined with other vehicle specifications to evaluate the weight
of each vehicle. For more go to the announcement at:
