Model Results for Antarctic 2005

This page contains preliminary results from simulations with the SLIMCAT 3D model chemical transport model. The near real time model run is forced by ECMWF T42L60 operational analyses with a horizontal resolution of 2.8 x 2.8 degrees and 24 levels from the surface to ~50 Km.

This work support is part of the European Union SCOUT-O3 Integerated Project (CTM Activity).

Preliminary Model Results

This page contains recent, preliminary SLIMCAT model results for Arctic winter 2005 for VORCORE campaign . Contact Prof. Martyn Chipperfield for more details and requests.

Here is an animation of O3 loss (left) and ClOx (right) at ~460K during Antarctic winter 2005. The similar movies of the previous winters simulations are: Antarctic winter 2004 ; Antarctic winter 2003 and Antarctic winter 2002 (Please ignore the value of temperature in the title which is minimum northern hemisphere temperature).

Here is the evolution of the log-normalised equivalent length as a function of equivalent latitude on 493K, 456K and 423K isentropic surface during the 2005 winter and spring.
