Conclusions and outlook Model has been developed and validated, it reasonably reproduces the resposnse of the middle atmosphere to the variability of SSI and particles Visualization software has been developed Online publishing of chemical composition of the middle atmosphere from nowcasting CCM with input from reconstrustions of SSI (D6.5) Online operational nowcast of the chemical composition of the middle atmosphere (D5.4) Some things left to polish: homepage, visualization package
PMOD/WRC, Davos End of the presentation… Thank you!!!
What has been done? 1)Development CCM with ion chemistry: CICM SOCOL i 2)Model validation has been performed (e.g. HEPPA) 3)Visualization software has been developed 4)CICM SOCOL i working with reconstructed SSI from WP5 D5.3 5)On-line publishing of the model data (D5.3) 6)On-line nowcasting of the middle atmosphere parameters
