Three Dimensional Simulation of Spatial and Temporal Variability of Stratospheric Hydrog• Chloride
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric HC1 columns are calculated for January 1979 using a three-dimensional chemistrytransport model designed to provide the best possible representation of stratospheric transport. Large spatial and temporal variability of the HC1 columns is shown to be correlated with lower stratospheric potential vorticity and thus to be of dynamical origin. Systematic longitudinal structure is correlated with planetary wave structure. These results can help place spatially and temporally isolated column and profile measurements in a regional and/or global perspective.

Predictions for Other Trace Constituents
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) three-dimensional general circulation/tracer model has been used to investigate the stratospheric behavior of N20 under a range of photodestruction hypotheses. A comparison of observations with these simulations shows that the atmospheric N20 lifetime lies between 100 and 130 years. For the three experiments conducted, it was found that the model...
متن کاملTemporal-Spatial Variability of the Severest Dry Spells in the North-West of Iran
The variability of temperature and precipitation is regarded as one of the main characteristics of the climate.Precipitation and its results, especially results such as droughts, vary on different temporal and spatial scales. Thepurpose of this paper is to determine the frequency of the inter-annual variability of the driest month in north-westIran. In order to obtain the best results, we used ...

Simulations of the spatial and temporal variability of the extent of chemically processed air in the Arctic stratosphere have been carried out using a threedimensional chemistry-transport model for the winters of 1979 and 1989. ChemicaLly processed air is identified in the model as that in which the amounts of hydrogen chloride (HC1) calculated with parameterized loss for conditions appropriate...
متن کاملImpact of spatial-temporal variations of climatic variables on summer maize yield in North China Plain
Summer maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the dominant crops in the North China Plain (NCP). Its growth is greatly influenced by the spatial-temporal variation of climatic variables, especially solar radiation, temperature and rainfall. The WOFOST (version 7.1) model was applied to evaluate the impact of climatic variability on summer maize yields using historical meteorological data from 1961 to 20...
متن کاملLong-term spatial and temporal variability of ambient carbon monoxide in Urmia, Iran
One of the pillars of epidemiologic research on the long-term health effects of air pollution is to estimate the chronic exposures over space and time. In this study, we aimed to measure the intra-urban ambient carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations within Urmia city in Iran, and to build a model within the geographic information system (GIS) to estimate the annual and seasonal means anywhere with...
