  1. Impact of solar UV variability on sudden stratospheric warming with LMDz-Reprobus A. Hauchecorne1, S. Bekki1, M. Marchand1, C. Claud2, P. Keckhut1, F. Lefèvre1, D. Cugnet1, S. Lefebvre1, F.

  2. Sun-atmosphere link:possible mechanisms Total solar irradiance: change surface and tropospheric temperature Solar UV: O3 production  stratospheric temperature  change in atmospheric circulation: amplification mechanism ? Particle precipitations (SPE, GCR, EPP) - SPE and EPP in auroral zone: NOx and HOx  atmospheric chemistry - GCR modulated by solar wind: condensation nuclei clouds atmospheric chemistry chemistry

  4. Sudden Stratospheric Warming

  5. CCM LMDz-Reprobus Dynamics and transport LMDz: • Extended version of the LMDz 4th generation GCM (Lott et al.) • Tropospheric version largely used in the french community • LMDz is the atmospheric component of the IPSL Earth System model (Dufresne et al.) Chemistry Reprobus: • Chemistry-transport model (Lefèvre et al.) • Chemical families Ox, NOx, HOx, ClOx, BrOx et CHOx chemistry. • Heterogeneous reactions: on aerosols and PSC particles • PSC sedimentation (dehydration and denitrification) : irreversible vertical transfer of HNO3 and H2O

  6. Zonal mean temperature LMDZ-Reprobus Meteorological analysis ERA40

  7. LMDz-Reprobus 30 years simulations: Minimum and maximum solar conditions for the 11-year solar cycle All the other forcings are kept constant: SSTs, sea ice, stratospheric aerosols, CFCs, GHGs

  8. Difference in polar temperature (K) 90°S 90°N MIN MAX DIF

  9. LMDz-Reprobus solar max – solar min January February Wind Temperature

  10. LMDz Reprobus solar max – solar min Temperature Ozone

  11. Stratosphere-troposphere dynamical coupling From Baldwin and Dunkerton, JASTP, 2005

  12. Conclusion • The solar UV variability mechanism has been tested in LMDz-Reprobus • There is an impact onstratospheric dynamics (sudden stratospheric warming) • Future plans • Impact on the troposphere • Comparison with other models CMAM, SOCOL, IGCM-FASTOC • Common work on the evaluation of different solar forcings • (TSI, UV, GCR, SPE, EEP)
