High resolution simulation of recent Arctic and Antarctic stratospheric chemical ozone loss compared to observations
Simulations of polar ozone losses were performed using the three-dimensional high-resolution (1 degrees x 1 degrees) chemical transport model MIMOSA-CHIM. Three Arctic winters 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2002-2003 and three Antarctic winters 2001, 2002, and 2003 were considered for the study. The cumulati...

Simulations of polar ozone losses were performed using the three-dimensional high-resolution (1 degrees x 1 degrees) chemical transport model MIMOSA-CHIM. Three Arctic winters 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2002-2003 and three Antarctic winters 2001, 2002, and 2003 were considered for the study. The cumulative ozone loss in the Arctic winter 2002-2003 reached around 35% at 475 K inside the vortex, as compared to more than 60% in 1999-2000. During 1999-2000, denitrification induces a maximum of about 23% extra ozone loss at 475 K as compared to 17% in 2002-2003. Unlike these two colder Arctic winters, the 2001-2002 Arctic was warmer and did not experience much ozone loss.
