5 Tropospheric Ozone Budget
1600 STE (strat-trop exch) STE L-P L (Loss) 1200 800 475 Tg/year Murphy and Fahey, 1994 McLinden et al., 2000 Ozone flux Tg/yr 400 Alles auf einmal einzoomen. Rechte Seite (insbes. MOZART) am besten -> daher MOZART Resultate gezeigt. Negativer Wert = Produktion und Positiver Wert = Loss. Unterschiede in Loss und Produktion sind abhaengig von der Meteorologie und Chemie. Nur schon Wahl der Winde; z.B. MOZART produziert LOSS mit NCEP Winden (NCAR), aber Produktion mit ECMWF Winden (MPI). Strat-trop exchange varies more than factor of 3 between individual models The net photochemical tendency is somewhat correlated with STE Model may predict net tropospheric production or loss depending on magnitude of STE Combined STE+production – loss (roughly equivalent to surface loss) much more uniform among models Burden varies from 193 Tg (MOZART) to 370 Tg (UIO) with peak near 300 Tg P (Production) -400 -800 KNMI UIO UCI MATCH GCTM ECHAM4 ECHAM/TM3 HARVARD LOGAN, 1981 STOCHEM MOZART2 MOZART1 IMAGES GEOS-CHEM IPCC (2001) and other sources
