abstract = {Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) and cold stratospheric
aerosols drive heterogeneous chemistry and play a major role
in polar ozone depletion. The Chemical Lagrangian Model of
the Stratosphere (CLaMS) simulates the nucleation, growth,
sedimentation, and evaporation of PSC particles along
individual trajectories. Particles consisting of nitric acid
trihydrate (NAT), which contain a substantial fraction of
the stratospheric nitric acid (HNO3), were the focus of
previous modeling work and are known for their potential to
denitrify the polar stratosphere. Here, we carried this idea
forward and introduced the formation of ice PSCs and related
dehydration into the sedimentation module of CLaMS. Both
processes change the simulated chemical composition of the
lower stratosphere. Due to the Lagrangian transport scheme,
NAT and ice particles move freely in three-dimensional
space. Heterogeneous NAT and ice nucleation on foreign
nuclei as well as homogeneous ice nucleation and NAT
nucleation on preexisting ice particles are now implemented
into CLaMS and cover major PSC formation pathways.We show
results from the Arctic winter 2009/2010 and from the
Antarctic winter 2011 to demonstrate the performance of the
model over two entire PSC seasons. For both hemispheres, we
present CLaMS results in comparison to measurements from the
Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP),
the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric
Sounding (MIPAS), and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS).
Observations and simulations are presented on season-long
and vortex-wide scales as well as for single PSC events. The
simulations reproduce well both the timing and the extent of
PSC occurrence inside the entire vortex. Divided into
specific PSC classes, CLaMS results show predominantly good
agreement with CALIOP and MIPAS observations, even for
specific days and single satellite orbits. CLaMS and CALIOP
agree that NAT mixtures are the first type of PSC to be
present in both winters. NAT PSC areal coverages over the
entire season agree satisfactorily. However, cloud-free
areas, next to or surrounded by PSCs in the CALIOP data, are
often populated with NAT particles in the CLaMS simulations.
Looking at the temporal and vortex-averaged evolution of
HNO3, CLaMS shows an uptake of HNO3 from the gas into the
particle phase which is too large and happens too early in
the simulation of the Arctic winter. In turn, the permanent
redistribution of HNO3 is smaller in the simulations than in
the observations. The Antarctic model run shows too little
denitrification at lower altitudes towards the end of the
winter compared to the observations. The occurrence of
synoptic-scale ice PSCs agrees satisfactorily between
observations and simulations for both hemispheres and the
simulated vertical redistribution of water vapor (H2O) is in
very good agreement with MLS observations. In summary, a
conclusive agreement between CLaMS simulations and a variety
of independent measurements is presented.},
