abstract = {MOZAIC-IAGOS data are used to assess the ability of the
MACC reanalysis (REAN) to reproduce distributions of ozone
(O3) and carbon monoxide (CO), along with vertical and
inter-annual variability in the upper troposphere/lower
stratosphere region (UTLS) over Europe for the period
2003–2010. A control run (CNTRL, without assimilation) is
compared with the MACC reanalysis (REAN, with assimilation)
to assess the impact of assimilation. On average over the
period, REAN underestimates ozone by 60 ppbv in the lower
stratosphere (LS), whilst CO is overestimated by 20 ppbv. In
the upper troposphere (UT), ozone is overestimated by 50
ppbv, while CO is partly over or underestimated by up to 20
ppbv. As expected, assimilation generally improves model
results but there are some exceptions. Assimilation leads to
increased CO mixing ratios in the UT which reduce the biases
of the model in this region but the difference in CO mixing
ratios between LS and UT has not changed and remains
underestimated after assimilation. Therefore, this leads to
a significant positive bias of CO in the LS after
assimilation. Assimilation improves estimates of the
amplitude of the seasonal cycle for both species.
Additionally, the observations clearly show a general
negative trend of CO in the UT which is rather well
reproduced by REAN. However, REAN misses the observed
inter-annual variability in summer. The O3–CO correlation
in the Ex-UTLS is rather well reproduced by the CNTRL and
REAN, although REAN tends to miss the lowest CO mixing
ratios for the four seasons and tends to oversample the
extra-tropical transition layer (ExTL region) in spring.
This evaluation stresses the importance of the model
gradients for a good description of the mixing in the
Ex-UTLS region, which is inherently difficult to observe
from satellite instruments.},
