A STRATOSPHERIC BrO CLIMATOLOGY BASED ON THE BASCOE 3D CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODEL
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new climatology of stratospheric BrO profiles has been developed, with the aim to apply it to the retrieval of tropospheric BrO columns from space nadir measurements. The impact of the atmospheric dynamic on the stratospheric BrO distribution is treated by means of Bry/ozone correlations build from 3D-CTM model results, while photochemical effects are taken into account using stratospheric NO2 columns as an indicator of the BrO/Bry ratio. The suitability of the adopted parameterization is evaluated based on one year of output data from the 3D CTM BASCOE. Model simulations include full gas phase chemistry and relevant heterogeneous reactions, while dynamics is driven by ECMWF wind fields.

متن کاملA Stratospheric Source of Reactive Nitrogen in the Unpolluted Troposphere
A GFDL 3-D global generalized tracer field is adapted to provide a preliminary simulation of the reactive nitrogen (NOY) climatology in an unpolluted troposphere which has, as its sole source, downward transport of stratospheric NOY. The tracer field is scaled so that its downward cross-tropopause flux is balanced by the stratospheric production of NOY. While the model results show stratospheri...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of the unified troposphericestratospheric chemistry extension (UCX) for the global chemistry-transport model GEOS-Chem
Global chemistry-transport models (CTMs) typically use simplified parameterizations or relaxation to climatology to estimate the chemical behavior of the stratosphere only in the context of its impact on tropospheric chemistry. This limits investigation of stratospheric chemistry and interactions between tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry-transport processes.We incorporate stratospheric c...
متن کاملThe Met Office HadGEM3-ES chemistry–climate model: evaluation of stratospheric dynamics and its impact on ozone
Free-running and nudged versions of a Met Office chemistry–climate model are evaluated and used to investigate the impact of dynamics versus transport and chemistry within the model on the simulated evolution of stratospheric ozone. Metrics of the dynamical processes relevant for simulating stratospheric ozone are calculated, and the free-running model is found to outperform the previous model ...
