  • Using WRF Downscaling and Self-Organising Maps to Investigate Particulate Pollution in the Sydney Region
    Using WRF downscaling and self-organising maps to investigate particulate pollution in the Sydney region. Supplementary Information JAGODA CRAWFORD, ALAN GRIFFITHS1, DAVID D. COHEN1, NINGBO JIANG2, EDUARD STELCER1 1Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Locked Bag 2001 Kirrawee DC NSW 2232, Australia 2Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, Sydney, Australia 1 Corresponding author. Tel: +61 2 9717 3885, Fax: +61 2 9717 9260; e-mail [email protected] 1 The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) The Advanced Research (AR) WRF (WRF hereafter) model version 3.5.1 (Skamarock et al., 2004; Skamarock and Klemp, 2008) was used to carry out meteorological dynamical downscaling. The main advantages of using dynamical downscaling is that some processes which are on subgrid scales in the global model will be simulated explicitly by the regional model and more frequent output intervals can be specified. If the regional model simulates sea breezes and the influence of topography more realistically, trajectories computed from its output will also be more accurate. A vast number of WRF configuration options are possible. The current configuration is similar to that used by Angevine et al. (2013). The model was configured with 12 km horizontal resolution, 50 vertical levels, with greatly enhanced resolution near the surface (half of the levels below 1 km and a 20 m thick near-surface level). Subgrid vertical turbulence was modelled with the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) boundary layer and surface layer schemes (Janjić, 1994), longwave and shortwave radiation was modelled with RRTMG (Iacono et al., 2008), cloud microphysics was modelled with the Lin (Purdue) scheme (Lin et al., 1983) and subgrid moist cumulus was modelled using the Grell-Freitas scheme (Grell and Freitas, 2014).

  • Locating Helicopter Emergency Medical Service Bases to Optimise Population Coverage Versus Average Response Time Alan A
    Garner and van den Berg BMC Emergency Medicine (2017) 17:31 DOI 10.1186/s12873-017-0142-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Locating helicopter emergency medical service bases to optimise population coverage versus average response time Alan A. Garner1* and Pieter L. van den Berg2 Abstract Background: New South Wales (NSW), Australia has a network of multirole retrieval physician staffed helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) with seven bases servicing a jurisdiction with population concentrated along the eastern seaboard. The aim of this study was to estimate optimal HEMS base locations within NSW using advanced mathematical modelling techniques. Methods: We used high resolution census population data for NSW from 2011 which divides the state into areas containing 200–800 people. Optimal HEMS base locations were estimated using the maximal covering location problem facility location optimization model and the average response time model, exploring the number of bases needed to cover various fractions of the population for a 45 min response time threshold or minimizing the overall average response time to all persons, both in green field scenarios and conditioning on the current base structure. We also developed a hybrid mathematical model where average response time was optimised based on minimum population coverage thresholds. Results: Seven bases could cover 98% of the population within 45mins when optimised for coverage or reach the entire population of the state within an average of 21mins if optimised for response time. Given the existing bases, adding two bases could either increase the 45 min coverage from 91% to 97% or decrease the average response time from 21mins to 19mins.
