Ozone Profile Tests

We have made control run with the original ozone profile parameterization geographically independent and with only seasonal value on individual levels. This was used as a basis for further comparisons. We have tried simple modification of ozone profile by 50% reduction in the stratosphere or 200% increase in troposphere with very rough connection to possible antropogeneous changes. Actually, it was not intended to be a serious study of antropogeneous influence but as a real model sensitivity test on reasonable ozone changes influence in the model. Finally, we have used TOMS database for ozone profile reconstruction for the appropriate month of simulation. We restore the ozone profiles for whole domain by means the formula of Lacis and Hansen (1974), both on daily and monthly basis. The first one gives the best possibility (except taking real ozone soundings data into account) for a model validity evaluation by means of nesting in the observations, the latter could be used for improving of the ozone profile parameterization even for some extrapolation with regard to the temporal and geographical variability, as we can have the climatology of the ozone profile parameters.
