abstract = {The representation of vertical velocity in chemistry
climate models is a key element for the representation of
the large-scale Brewer–Dobson circulation in the
stratosphere. Here, we diagnose and compare the kinematic
and diabatic vertical velocities in the ECHAM/Modular Earth
Submodel System (MESSy) Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model.
The calculation of kinematic vertical velocity is based on
the continuity equation, whereas diabatic vertical velocity
is computed using diabatic heating rates. Annual and monthly
zonal mean climatologies of vertical velocity from a 10-year
simulation are provided for both kinematic and diabatic
vertical velocity representations. In general, both vertical
velocity patterns show the main features of the
stratospheric circulation, namely, upwelling at low
latitudes and downwelling at high latitudes. The main
difference in the vertical velocity pattern is a more
uniform structure for diabatic and a noisier structure for
kinematic vertical velocity. Diabatic vertical velocities
show higher absolute values both in the upwelling branch in
the inner tropics and in the downwelling regions in the
polar vortices. Further, there is a latitudinal shift of the
tropical upwelling branch in boreal summer between the two
vertical velocity representations with the tropical
upwelling region in the diabatic representation shifted
southward compared to the kinematic case. Furthermore, we
present mean age of air climatologies from two transport
schemes in EMAC using these different vertical velocities
and analyze the impact of residual circulation and mixing
processes on the age of air. The age of air distributions
show a hemispheric difference pattern in the stratosphere
with younger air in the Southern Hemisphere and older air in
the Northern Hemisphere using the transport scheme with
diabatic vertical velocities. Further, the age of air
climatology from the transport scheme using diabatic
vertical velocities shows a younger mean age of air in the
inner tropical upwelling branch and an older mean age in the
extratropical tropopause region.},
