Driving a single CTM with different analyses: impact on
solar heating, photolysis rates and chemical lifetimes
The BASCOE CTM can currently be driven by 3 different sets of
meteorological analyses: ECMWF operational products, ERA-Interim
reanalyses and Canadian operational products. We will show the
impact of these different analyses on photodissociation rates,
photochemical lifetimes and solar heating rates in the stratosphere.
In a first step this sensitivity study is done for one-month periods
representative of solstice (January 2011) and equinox conditions
(April 2011).
