abstract = {Lagrangian transport schemes have proven to be useful tools
for modelling stratospheric trace gas transport since they
are less diffusive than classical Eulerian schemes and
therefore especially well suited for maintaining steep
tracer gradients. Here, we present the implementation of the
full-Lagrangian transport core of the Chemical Lagrangian
Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS) into the ECHAM/MESSy
Atmospheric Chemistry model (EMAC). We performed a ten-year
time-slice simulation to evaluate the coupled model system
EMAC/CLaMS. Simulated zonal mean age of air distributions
are compared to age of air derived from airborne
measurements, showing a good overall representation of the
stratospheric circulation. Results from the new Lagrangian
transport scheme are compared to tracer distributions
calculated with the standard flux-form semi-Lagrangian
(FFSL) transport scheme in EMAC. The differences in the
resulting tracer distributions are most pronounced in the
regions of strong transport barriers. The polar vortices are
presented as an example and simulated trace gas
distributions are compared to satellite measurements. The
analysis of CFC-11, N2O, CH4, and age of air in the polar
vortex regions shows that the CLaMS Lagrangian transport
scheme produces a stronger, more realistic transport barrier
at the edge of the polar vortex than the FFSL transport
scheme of EMAC. Differences in simulated age of air range up
to one year in the Arctic polar vortex in late winter/early
spring. The new coupled model system EMAC/CLaMS thus
constitutes a suitable tool for future model studies of
stratospheric tracer transport.},
