Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H.sub.2 O) in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O.sub.3, H.sub.2 O, HCl, N.sub.2 O, and HNO.sub.3, based on Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) data, as well as longer-term series from the Global OZone Chemistry And Related trace gas Data records for the Stratosphere (GOZCARDS). While we emphasize the evaluation of stratospheric models via data comparisons through 2014 to free-running (FR-WACCM) and specified dynamics (SD-WACCM) versions of the Community Earth System Model version 1 (CESM1) Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM), we also highlight observed stratospheric changes, using the most recent data from MLS.
