Topics for MPI-C Collaborations with the COPS-TRACKS InitiativeMark Lawrence, Marc Salzmann, Horst Fischer • Cloud Resolving Chemistry-Transport Modelling • WRF (Weather Research and Forecast Model) • Full gas-phase tropospheric chemistry implemented • Regions: Maritime (TOGA COARE) and Continental (ARM, STERAO) • Studies ( SFB 641 – The Tropospheric Ice Phase): • Convective tracer transport • Scavenging (especially by ice), Retention coefficient • Lightning NOx production • MPI-C Field Campaigns: Tropospheric Chemistry Over Europe
Tropospheric Chemistry Over Europe H. Fischer, H. Harder, J. Williams, M. Lawrence and J. Lelieveld MPI-Chemistry, Mainz, Germany • HOxBudget • Long Range Transport (Import and Export) • Vertical Transport (Deep Convection) • Latitudinal Gradients of Trace Gases • Seasonal Variations
