Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Fully coupled CCM simulations require additional diagnostics in order to separate various effects. E.g. NOx and ozone tagging diagnostics

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Approach: Tagging of NO y and ozone molecules 1st step: For each source i=1,..., n (n=8) define a NO y tracer (X i ) 2nd step: For each NO y tracer define an ozone tracer (Y i ) and an ozone tracer (Y n+1 ) for ozone production by O 2 photolysis Attribution of ozone increase to NO x emissions
