Chemical Atmospheric General Circulation Model for Study of Atmospheric Environment and Radiative Forcing

This model, developed in the framework of the Center for Climate System Research/National Institute for Environment Studies (CCSR/NIES) AGCM, is aimed to study tropospheric photochemistry and its influences on climate. The model includes emission sources, dry and wet deposition, as well as chemical transformations. Meteorological processes such as transport due to advection, convection, and other subgrid-scale mixing are simulated “on-line” by the dynamical component of the CCSR/NIES AGCM. [From article]
