Abstract:The ozone budget in the stratosphere of a modified diabatic circulation model is compared with traditional Eulerian calculations. The importance of the chemical contribution in comparison with net dynamical contributions, even in the lower stratosphere, is stressed. Furthermore the chemical dependence of the eddy transports is shown to introduce significant differences in the meridional transport and points to a potentially important source of error in two-dimensional simulations of tracer distributions in the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
