| Summary: | I. Scientific Application and Analysis Scientific Progress The three-dimensional, spectral transport model used in the current project was first successfully integrated over climatological time scales by Dr. Guang Ping Lou for the simulation of atmospheric N20 using the United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) 4-dimensional, assimilated wind and temperature data set. A non-parallel, FORTRAN version of this integration using a fairly simple N20 chemistry package containing only photo-chemical reactions was used to verify our initial parallel model results. The integrations reproduced the gross features of the observed stratospheric climatological N20 distributions but also simulated the structure of the stratospheric Antarctic vortex and its evolution. A paper describing this work was presented at the Spring, 1994 AGU meeting (Lou, et al, 1995) and an enlarged version suitable for publication is currently in preparation (Lou, et al, 1996). Subsequently, Dr. Thomas Kindler, who produced much of the parallel version of our model, enlarged the N20 model chemistry package to include NzO reactions involving |
