Laboratory measurements (17) next showed that reaction R19 proceeded about 40 times faster than determined earlier, strongly promoting ozone production and increasing HO concentrations with major consequences for tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry. Table I presents an ozone budget calculated with a three-dimensional chemistry transport model of the troposphere which takes into account the afore mentioned reactions.

Such a complicated interactivity of processes can both directly and indirectly affect formation of the atmospheric greenhouse effect. Derwent et al. (2001) described a global 3-D Lagrangian chemistry transport model (STOCHEM) which reproduces chemical processes including MGC transport and can be used to reproduce interrelated fields of TO and methane concentration (Johnson et al., 2002) under conditions of emission to the atmosphere of short-lived TO precursors such as CH4, CO, NOx, and hydrogen. At the same time, the radiative forcing (RF) of NOx emissions depends on the location of emissions near the surface or in the upper troposphere, in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. For each short-lived MGC/...

Recent estimates of direct radiative forcing by tropospheric aerosols have employed aerosol distributions from global-scale chemical transport models and assumed aerosol properties typical of the several aerosol types. These estimates contain uncertainties both in the modeled aerosol...

EXAIR is a mesoscale atmospheric transport model, EXWAT a transport model for surface water bodies, EXSOL a multilayer soil model for the upper soil zone. EXATM is a compartment model for the transport of globally dispersed substances in the troposphere and stratosphere. 

Chemical reactions on mineral dust have been reviewed by Usher et al. (2003), and the impacts on global tropospheric chemistry have been discussed using global chemical transport models by Bian and Zender (2003), Bauer et al. (2004), Evans and Jacob (2005), and other studies.
