Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Institutstag IPA 2006 E39/C vs. Observation: Anomalies of ozone column E39/C TOMS Ground stations (Bojkov and Fioletov, 1995; pers. com. Fioletov, 2004) calm, stable winter situations Beginning of 90s: stronger ozone losses Individual strong events well represented

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Validation of E39C results: Tropospheric Ozone Mean annual cycle of ozone at 47°N, 11°E ( ) E39C OBS E39C minus OBS Hohenpeißenberg Too weak seasonal cycle Cold bias too = high tropopause

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Validation of E39C results Mean annual cycle of ozone at 40°N, 105°W ( ) E39C OBS E39C minus OBS Boulder Similar conclusion

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Validation of E39C results 47°N, 11°E; 300 hPa 47°N, 11°E; 500 hPa 47°N, 11°E; 700 hPa 47°N, 11°E; 850 hPa Ozonesonde E39C Ozonesonde E39C Ozonesonde E39C Ozonesonde E39C Evolution of ozone anomalies at distinct levels [in ppbv] Hohenpeißenberg Variability smaller: Sampling or real difference ? Evolution not well reproduced: - very rough assumptions on emission data - no interannual variability of bb emissions

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Validation of E39C results 47°N, 11°E; 500 hPa Ozonesonde E39C Evolution of ozone anomalies [in ppbv] Some agreement: Coincidience or period where changes are controll by processes, which are better described

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre How can we understand the simulated trends and the observed differences ? - Sensitivity studies (for selected periods) e.g. rerun period without volcanic eruption (Pinatubo) - Additional diagnostics Tracer: Ozone origin (Regions in Stratosphere/ Troposphere) Tracer: Ozone 'source') (biomass burning, Lightning,...) Mass fluxes

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Institutstag IPA 2006 Ozone influx from the stratosphere to the troposphere De-seasonalized Monthly means x Estimate based on correlations with long-lived species: 475 Tg/year (Murphey and Fahey, 1994) and with flux calculations: NH: 252 Tg/a SH: 248 Tg/a (Olson et al., 2004) Signal of solar cycle identifyable especially on SH Large interannual variability No trends recognizable

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Institutstag IPA 2006 De-seasonalized ozone changes in the tropical UT Stratospheric ozone follows influx from stratosphere, producing ±2% variability out of a totale interannual var. of ±4% Lightning ozone correlated with Nino Index variability: ±1-2%

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Institutstag IPA 2006 Evolution of de-seasonalized ozone in NH lower troposphere (30N-90N; hPa) Year-to-year variability strongly dominated by stratosphere (±5%) Trend in ozone (25% increase): - results from increase in NO x emissions (Industry and traffic) - Trend reduction in 80s caused by lower emissions and lower stratospheric contribution. ~25% ~30% -5%

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Conclusions - Outlook (I) Stratosphere well reproduced Troposphere: Some similarities with observational data Main Discrepancies: Too weak seasonal cycle: - Too strong influence from stratosphere (chem lifetime) - Too much transport of upper troposphere tropical air - Too weak seasonal cycle of O 3 perturbation from anthropogenic emissions Less intense tropical ozone maximum Solution: Rerun with revised emission data (RETRO) biomass burning + anthrop. emission data including interannual and regional variability

Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre Conclusions - Outlook (II) Discrepancies: Less ozone in the upper troposphere: - Problem of cold bias = too high tropopause Solution: Lagrangian transport scheme Realistic water vapor transport 80% Reduction of Cold Bias (Stenke&Grewe, 2006) Despite discrepancies Stratospheric ozone variability influences trend (Trend reduction in 80s) Impact of stratospheric and tropospheric variability (El Nino) quantified.
