A general circulation model of stratospheric ozone
The paper reports on a general circulation model being developed with the ultimate objective of assessing the effect of SST operations on the atmospheric ozone distribution. The model variables are represented in the spectral domain using 79 spherical harmonics and 26 vertical levels between the gro...

The paper reports on a general circulation model being developed with the ultimate objective of assessing the effect of SST operations on the atmospheric ozone distribution. The model variables are represented in the spectral domain using 79 spherical harmonics and 26 vertical levels between the ground and 70 km. Initial calculations have attempted to simulate the seasonal variations of the unperturbed global ozone distribution. The model shows the presence of a westerly stratospheric jet in the winter hemisphere with amplitudes similar to those observed in the polar night jet. Easterlies dominate in the summer hemisphere. The model also shows ozone to be transported polewards and downwards. Furthermore the annual cycle in ozone concentrations at mid-latitudes has been simulated. Preliminary comparisons are also made with other features of the dynamics and the ozone distribution in the stratosphere. |
