Abstract

The double core of Ozone Valley (OV) over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in summer was simulated by use of the WACCM3 (Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model 3).The model performance was evaluated by inter-comparison of the model output data, ERA-Interim (European center for medium-range weather forecasts Re-Analysis Interim) data and MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder) satellite data.The results are as follows:The double core of OV over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau in summer is detected in the WACCM3 output.The OV core near the Upper Troposphere-Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) is well performed in location.Intensity of the OV core is a little bit stronger than the observation.However, simulation is not good enough in the upper stratosphere.The upper stratospheric OV core from model output is stronger and biased to the east side.Successful simulation of atmospheric circulation is the reason for the well performance of the UTLS OV core which is mainly controlled by dynamic transport.The poor simulation of the upper OV is caused by the bad copy the chlorine and nitrogen compounds which may be resulted from the circulation differences between model output and observation.
