abstract = {Three global Chemistry Transport Models - MOZART, MOCAGE,
and TM5 - as well as MOZART coupled to the IFS
meteorological model including assimilation of ozone (O-3)
and carbon monoxide (CO) satellite column retrievals, have
been compared to surface measurements and MOZAIC vertical
profiles in the troposphere over Western/Central Europe for
summer 2003. The models reproduce the meteorological
features and enhancement of pollution during the period 2-14
August, but not fully the ozone and CO mixing ratios
measured during that episode. Modified normalised mean
biases are around $-25\%$ (except similar to $5\%$ for
MOCAGE) in the case of ozone and from $-80\%$ to $-30\%$ for
CO in the boundary layer above Frankfurt. The coupling and
assimilation of CO columns from MOPITT overcomes some of the
deficiencies in the treatment of transport, chemistry and
emissions in MOZART, reducing the negative biases to around
$20\%.$ The high reactivity and small dry deposition
velocities in MOCAGE seem to be responsible for the
overestimation of O-3 in this model. Results from
sensitivity simulations indicate that an increase of the
horizontal resolution to around 1 degrees x1 degrees and
potential uncertainties in European anthropogenic emissions
or in long-range transport of pollution cannot completely
account for the underestimation of CO and O-3 found for most
models. A process-oriented TM5 sensitivity simulation where
soil wetness was reduced results in a decrease in dry
deposition fluxes and a subsequent ozone increase larger
than the ozone changes due to the previous sensitivity runs.
However this latest simulation still underestimates ozone
during the heat wave and overestimates it outside that
period. Most probably, a combination of the mentioned
factors together with underrepresented biogenic emissions in
the models, uncertainties in the modelling of
vertical/horizontal transport processes in the proximity of
the boundary layer as well as limitations of the chemistry
schemes are responsible for the underestimation of ozone
(overestimation in the case of MOCAGE) and CO found in the
models during this extreme pollution event.},
