Atmospheric Effects of Stratospheric Aircraft. Report of the 1992 Models andMeasurements Workshop. Volume 1: Workshop Objectives and Summary

摘要

This Workshop on Stratospheric Models and Measurements (M&M) marks a significantexpansion in the history of model intercomparisons. It provides a foundation for establishing the credibility of stratospheric models used in environmental assessments of chlorofluorocarbons, aircraft emissions, and climate-chemistry interactions. The core of the M&M comparisons involves the selection of observations of the current stratosphere (i.e., within the last 15 years): these data are believed to be accurate and representative of certain aspects of stratospheric chemistry and dynamics that the models should be able to simulate.
