Background
• ‘OxComp’ model intercomparison for IPCC TAR
sampled models in ~1999
• OxComp focussed on SRES A2 in 2100.
• Models and emissions have developed in the
last 5 years – time for an update
• New scenarios from IIASA include AQ legislation
measures (not in SRES)
• SRES didn’t include ships – new datasets
• SRES biomass burning(?) – new satellite data
Scope of IPCC-AR4
• Chapter 2: Changes in atmospheric
constituents and in radiative forcing
• Chapter 7: Couplings between changes in
the climate system and biogeochemistry
– Includes a section on Air Quality
• Design intercomparison to be of direct use
to IPCC-AR4
ACCENT IA3 / IPCC-AR4
modeling activities on
climate / air pollution impact
Experiment 1:
Delta O3 and radiative forcing 1850-2000-2100
Experiment 2:

Annually averaged zonal-mean ozone change
(%) between 1850 and 2000
(emission change only!)
Climate-chemistry interactions
• Increased humidity
– ozone loss
ozone
(mostly tropical LT)
• Slow-down of gas phase ozone loss
– ozone loss
ozone
(middle stratosphere)
• Increased PSC formation
– ozone loss
ozone
(high latitude LS)
• Increased Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange / Lightning-NOx
– ozone
(UT)
• Increase in tropopause height / convection / BD circulation
– ozone
(tropical LS)

RF due to ozone change between 1850 and 2000 [Wm-2]
Conclusions
• Increase in tropospheric ozone column, reduction in
stratospheric ozone column since pre-industrial times
… trop+strat combined: reduction in total ozone
• RF due to tropospheric ozone change:
+0.29 Wm-2 … +0.53 Wm-2 (CCMs, chemical change only)
RF due to stratospheric ozone change:
–0.10 Wm-2 … +0.08 Wm-2 (CCMs, chemical change only)
… trop+strat combined: positive RF
• Climate change: leads to an increase in total ozone
since pre-industrial times in both the troposphere and
the stratosphere. RFtrop gets larger, RFstrat smaller.

ACCENT intercomparison (Expt. 2)
• Focus on 2030 – of direct interest to policymakers
• Go beyond radiative forcing: also consider ozone AQ, Nand S-deposition, and the use of satellite data to
evaluate models
• Present-day base case for evaluation:
Future changes
– S1: 2000
in composition
• Consider three 2030 emissions scenarios:
related to
– S2: 2030 IIASA CLE (‘likely’)
emissions
– S3: 2030 IIASA MFR (‘optimistic’)
1 year runs
Future
changes
– S4: 2030 SRES A2 (‘pessimistic’)

• Also consider the effect of climate change:

Other emissions categories

1.5%/yr growth in all scenarios
• Biomass burning emissions from van der Werf et
al. (2003) – assumed these remained fixed to
2030 in all scenarios
• Aircraft emissions from IPCC(1999)
• Modellers used their own natural emissions
• Specified fixed global CH4 for each case (from
earlier transient runs)

Analysis of O3 results
• Masked at tropopause using O3=150 ppbv
• Interpolated to common vertical and horizontal
grid
• Ensemble mean model and standard deviations
calculated
• Compared to sonde measurements
• Other ongoing validation work: NO2 columns,
surface O3, CO, deposition fluxes
• Global tropospheric O3 and CH4 budgets,
radiative forcings

Conclusions
• Ensemble mean model O3 closely resembles
observations
• Inter-model standard deviations highlight where models
differ the most
• Quantitative assessment of 2030 scenarios provide clear
options for policymakers (radiative forcing and AQ)
• Influence of climate change uncertain
• Global budgets reveal interesting and fundamental
model differences
• Analysis is ongoing – please come to meeting on
Thursday night for more information.
