Stratospheric climate change as diagnosed from the CCMVal reference simulations
Abstract
In collaboration with the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) a new chemistry and aerosol package has been developed for the Met Office Unified Model. A high top version of the model is currently being used by the University of Cambridge and the Met Office to carry out the so called reference simulations defined by the CCMVal SPARC activity. These include reproducing the past, and predicting ozone recovery in the future. In this work we present the first results from these simulations, concentrating on ozone recovery and future stratospheric climate change.
