SLIMCAT/TOMCAT 3D CTM Off-line chemical transport model [Chipperfield, JGR, 1999] Extends to surface using hybrid - levels (SLIMCAT version). Variable horizontal/vertical resolution. Horizontal winds and temperatures from analyses (e.g. UKMO, ECMWF (ERA-40 or operational)). Vertical motion from diagnosed heating rates or divergence. Tropospheric physics: convection, PBL mixing etc. Chemistry: ‘Full’ stratospheric chemistry scheme (41 species, 160 reactions) with heterogeneous chemistry on liquid/solid aerosols/PSCs and an equilibrium denitrification scheme. NAT-based denitrification scheme included. http://www.env.leeds.ac.uk/slimcat

Arctic Ozone loss versus V PSC Chipperfield M.P., W. Feng and M. Rex(GRL, 2005) SLIMCAT now gives a realistic representation of ozone and inferred ozone loss for Arctic winters under different meteorological conditions New T42 run Obs Old T15 run New T15 run
4
Comparison with Observation Good agreement between Ozonesondes measurements and SLIMCAT 425K 460K 495K
5
Ozone loss rate at 450K Models reproduce the observed O 3 loss rate very well SLIMCAT Match CLAMS FMI Reprobus
6
The Mean and correction factors Mean ratio Correction factors SLIMCAT is very consistence with observations between 400-650K but gives too much O3 below 400K SLIMCAT can be used as a transfer standard to expose systematic differences between observations from the different ozonesonde sites and can provide corrections between them.
