Key questions: What do the correlations imply? Are they consistent with our current understanding of sources? How can we use them to constrain source terms? What constraints can C 2 H 2 -CO correlation provide on OH concentration? Model analysis of CO-HCN-C 2 H 2 -C 2 H 6 system Tasks: Improve understanding of global C 2 H 2 budget Constrain regional OH concentration using C 2 H 2 /CO relationship Improve understanding of HCN oceanic sink with the new column data in Southern Hemisphere Interpret column and aircraft data in terms of constraining sources using forward model analysis of CO-HCN-C 2 H 2 -C 2 H 6 system

CO yield from CH 4 oxidation in tagged CO model Mean yields in austral winter at SH mid and high latitudes are 0.81-0.86, otherwise about 0.95 With modified yield, mean bias in tagged CO at southern high latitudes decreases from 9 to 6 ppb in May-Aug.

CO: SH mid/high latitude problem Model CO at 45S-90S is overestimated by ~15 ppb in full chem Mean yields in austral winter at SH mid and high latitudes are 0.81-0.86 With yield update in tagged CO model, bias decreases from 9 to 6 ppb in May-Aug. How can this be accounted for in full chemistry simulation? CO yield from CH4 amf v4-33 mje v5-07-08 xyp tagged v4-33 OH rvm v4-26 1997
