Besides observational data model calculations are a very important tool for improving our understanding of multiphase chemistry in the troposphere. Before a chemical model can be used for that purpose it is necessary to show that the model does what it is intended to do. A protocol has been developed that can be used as a basis for the verification of the numerics and the correct implementation of the chemical balance equations. The protocol defines meteorological parameters and initial conditions for a zerodimensional (box) model. Several scenarios cover the polluted as well as the remote marine and continental boundary layer and also the free troposphere. Calculations by different groups with different models and numerical solvers demonstrate that the protocol is clear and complete. The excellent agreement between the results of all groups are a major step of verification of the participating models. The scenarios may also serve as well documented base cases for sensitivity studies. |
