Reactive gases in the chemistry climate model ECHAM6-HAMMOZ

The recently developed global chemistry climate model ECHAM6-HAMMOZ contains comprehensive and detailed schemes for tropospheric aerosol (HAM) and reactive gases chemistry (MOZ). The Jülich Atmospheric (chemical) Mechanism (JAM002) consists of more than 300 species and 650 reactions, including relatively detailed degradation pathways for various volatile organic compounds in the troposphere and stratosphere. State-of-the-art parameterisations for chemical and physical processes are included. Here we present evaluation results from a multi-year simulation of the present-day atmospheric composition.
