Lamago Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre, DLR Oberpfaffenhofen, D-82234 Wessling Introduction The investigations carried out in this sub-project employed results of long-term model simulations with the fully coupled chemistry-climate model ECHAM4.L39(DLR)/CHEM (E39/C). Several time-slice experiments have been analysed (1960, 1980, 1990, 2015) as well as a transient simulation which covers the years from 1960 to 2000. Model results have been evaluated with respective observations to detect and to quantify the importance of the interaction of dynamical, physical and chemical processes. Mostly all investigations have been carried out in close co-operations withthe KODYACS partners.

Units: DU, K, ppbv. Positive values indicate higher values in the simulation which allows SZA up to 93°. (Lamago et al., 2003) Contact: Priv.-Doz.
