Transcript of Cloud Resolving Chemistry-Transport Modelling WRF (Weather Research and Forecast Model)
Topics for MPI-C Collaborations with the COPS-TRACKS Initiative
Mark Lawrence, Marc Salzmann, Horst Fischer
• Cloud Resolving Chemistry-Transport Modelling– WRF (Weather Research and Forecast Model)– Full gas-phase tropospheric chemistry implemented– Regions: Maritime (TOGA COARE) and
Continental (ARM, STERAO)– Studies ( SFB 641 – The Tropospheric Ice Phase):
• Convective tracer transport• Scavenging (especially by ice), Retention coefficient• Lightning NOx production
• MPI-C Field Campaigns: Tropospheric Chemistry Over Europe
Tropospheric Chemistry Over Europe
• HOx Budget
• Long Range Transport (Import and Export)• Vertical Transport (Deep Convection)• Latitudinal Gradients of Trace Gases• Seasonal Variations
