3 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Aim Analysis of the influence of different forcing mechanisms (greenhouse gases, ODS, volcanoes, sun and QBO) on ozone, temperature and dynamics during 1975- 2000 with transient model simulations

4 26.10.2004Martin Schraner SOCOL model (=Solar-Climate-Ozone Links) General circulation model MAECHAM4 coupled to chemistry-transport model MEZON Spectral model with T30 horizontal truncation 39 levels, from surface to 0.01 hPa Time step for dynamics and physics: 15 min; for radiation and chemistry: 2 hours Simulation of 41 chemical species Reactions: 118 gas-phase, 33 photolysis and 16 heterogeneous reactions on/in sulfate aerosol Coupling between chemistry and GCM by ozone and water vapor

5 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Simulations Transient simulations with SOCOL for 1975-2000: 1.CONTROL: Control Run with constant, prescribed greenhouse gases and ODS concentrations of 1975 and a mean solar constant 2.GG: As 1., but with annually increasing greenhouse gases (CO 2, CH 4, N 2 O) 3.ODS: As 1., but with varying ODS 4.GG+ODS: As 1., but with changing greenhouse gases and varying ODS 5.GG+ODS+AER: As 4., but with volcanic aerosols 6.GG+ODS+AER+SOL: As 5., but with varying solar forcings (varying solar constant (-> radiation), varying photolysis rates) 7.GG+ODS+AER+SOL+QBO: As 6., but with nudged QBO In all simulations, continuously changing SST and SI (sea ice) are prescribed. Various ensembles of experiment 7. will be calculated.

6 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Modifications of SOCOL (1): Introduction of QBO Model cannot simulate QBO by itself (vertical resolution not fine enough), but it can be nudged QBO nudging by Marco Giorgetta adapted to ECHAM4 and introduced into the model

8 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Modifications of SOCOL (2): Extending the coupling of radiation code with chemistry module Before: coupling of chemistry model with radiation module only for H 2 O and O 3 Now: coupling also for CH 4, N 2 O and CFCs -> 3d-concentrations calculated in the chemistry module at every time step are used in radiation part (instead of global constant concentrations)

9 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Modifications of SOCOL (3): Introduction of volcanic aerosols and solar variability Introduction of monthly and annually changing stratospheric aerosol dataset GISS -> altitude, latitude, and time dependent stratospheric extinction coefficients (radiation part) -> altitude, latitude, and time dependent stratospheric surface densities and thus variable heterogeneous reaction rates (hydrolysis of N 2 O 5 !) Introduction of solar variability (combination of data from Margrit Habereiter with data from Lean) -> time dependent solar constant (radiation module) -> time dependent photolysis rates (chemistry model)

14 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Results The obtained temperature and ozone trends for the run with changing greenhouse gases and changing ODS are closer to observations than the runs of experiment 1., 2. and 3. The model captures well the formation of the ozone hole over the southern high-latitudes, the ozone depletion in the upper stratosphere, the stratospheric cooling and tropospheric warming. The model simulates an increase of the stratospheric water mixing ratio of about 7%/decade in agreement with observations. However, the model underestimates the magnitude of ozone trends in the lower stratosphere at high latitudes

15 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Outlook (1) Introduction of new version of tropospheric aerosol data set (U. Lohmann) Introduction of new version of SAGE 2 retrieval (stratospheric aerosol data) into the model, incl. climatology for years without volcanoes Rerun of all simulations with updated model version (on the available PCs, all experiments can run together and take about 3 months)

16 26.10.2004Martin Schraner Outlook (2) Analysis of simulations. Focus on the following questions: –Does the model reproduce the observed trends in stratospheric ozone, temperature, and water vapor? –Reasons for the increase of modelled water vapor. How does (dT/dt) cold point tropopause look like? –GG reduce ozone destruction. This is understandable for the upper stratosphere (cooling by GG slows down ozone destroying reactions), but unclear for lower stratosphere (smaller ozone hole). Major warming? Dynamical effects? –Influence of GG and ODS on stratospheric temperature: ≈1:1 at the stratopause and ≈2:1 in the lower stratosphere. More exactly quantification. Can the total temperature change be linearly combined from the single components?
