abstract = {Daily global analyses and 5 day forecasts are generated in
the context of the European Monitoring Atmospheric
Composition and Climate (MACC) project using an extended
version of the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) of the
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
IFS now includes modules for chemistry, deposition and
emission of reactive gases, aerosols, and greenhouse gases,
and the 4-dimensional variational data assimilation scheme
makes use of multiple satellite observations of atmospheric
composition in addition to meteorological observations. This
paper describes the data assimilation setup of the new
Composition-IFS (C-IFS) with respect to reactive gases and
validates analysis fields of ozone (O3), carbon monoxide
(CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) for the year 2008 against
independent observations and a control run without data
assimilation. The largest improvement in CO by assimilation
of MOPITT CO columns is seen in the lower troposphere of the
Northern Hemisphere (NH) Extratropics during winter, and
during the South African biomass burning season. The
assimilation of several O3 total column and stratospheric
profile retrievals greatly improves the total column,
stratospheric and upper tropospheric O3 analysis fields
relative to the control run. The impact on lower
tropospheric ozone, which comes from the residual of the
total column and stratospheric profile O3 data, is smaller,
but nevertheless there is some improvement particularly in
the NH during winter and spring. The impact of the
assimilation of OMI tropospheric NO2 columns is small
because of the short lifetime of NO2, suggesting that NO2
observations would be better used to adjust emissions
instead of initial conditions. The results further indicate
that the quality of the tropospheric analyses and of the
stratospheric ozone analysis obtained with the C-IFS system
has improved compared to the previous "coupled" model system
of MACC.},
