abstract = {Chemical ozone loss in the polar lower stratosphere is
derived from an ensemble of three simulations from the Whole
Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM3) for the period
1960-2003, using the tracer-tracer correlation technique. We
describe a detailed model evaluation of the polar region by
applying diagnostics such as vortex temperature, sharpness
of the vortex edge, and the potential of activated chlorine
(PAC1). Meteorological and chemical information about the
polar vortex, temperature, vortex size, and activation time,
and level of equivalent effective stratospheric chlorine,
are included in PAC1. Discrepancies of the relationship
between chemical ozone loss and PAC1 between model and
observations are discussed. Simulated PAC1 for Antarctica is
in good agreement with observations, owing to slightly lower
simulated temperatures and a larger vortex volume than
observed. Observed chemical ozone loss of 140 +/- 30 DU in
the Antarctic vortex core are reproduced by the WACCM3
simulations. However, WACCM3 with the horizontal resolution
used here (4 x 5) is not able to simulate the observed sharp
transport barrier at the polar vortex edge. Therefore the
model does not produce an homogeneous cold polar vortex.
Warmer temperatures in the outer region of the vortex result
in less chemical ozone loss over the entire polar vortex
than observed. For the Arctic, WACCM3 temperatures are
biased high (by 2-3 degrees in the annual average) and the
vortex volume and chlorine activation period is
significantly smaller than observed. WACCM3 Arctic chemical
ozone loss only reaches 20 DU for cold winters, where
observations suggest approximate to 80-120 DU.},
