Summary
We have developed a zonally averaged model which calculates the atmospheric composition from ground level to 1 mbar.
The model solves the continuity equations of 28 trace species including O3 as a function of season and latitude.
Results are compared to the in situ measurements of trace gases but also to the zonally averaged monthly mean cross sections derived from LIMS data.
The model reproduces the main features of the observations for 03 and N02 but for HN03 the calculated profiles are too high above 10 mb and at high latitudes in the summer hemisphere.
