Soil NO emissions are critical to accurate atmospheric simulations which inform decisions to protect human health. Several studies indicate that the scheme, Yienger and Levy 1995 (YL95), underestimates soil NO emissions by a significant amount. The Berkeley Dalhousie Soil NOx Parameterization (BDSNP) updates soil NO emissions to be more consistent with satellite measurements. This work implements the BDSNP algorithm into CMAQ, adapting it to a 12km grid and comparing the resulting ozone, particulate, and other pollutants with results from the current YL95 algorithm for 2005 satellite data. Results show that summer NO emissions over the US double during the day, and in some places soil NO exceeds industrial sources. A comparison with satellite data, however, does not show strong evidence of the YL underestimation, contrary to other published results.
