              OMI Ozone column observations (circa 2000)

 

 

                 ACME Linoz_MAM3 ozone columns (2000)

These are maps that correspond to the OMI maps above.   The units are Dobson Units.

The missing contents and spurious labels are artifacts of UVCDAT.

 

                  ACCMIP Ozone Columns by month (2000)

 

Both the older ACCMIP and current ACME simulations tend to get column ozone a little bit too thick.  This is at least partly due to the poor resolution in the upper stratosphere in both models.  A higher vertical resolution for ACME should improve the ozone simulations.

             ACME Zonal Mean Stratospheric Ozone (2000)

 

Note: The vertical axis is from 150 mbar to 3 mbar.  The units are in mol/mol.

NOTE:  This is the most extreme ozone hole ever observed.

      ACME Antarctic O3 column (DU) time-series for September-means (2000)

NOTE: the x-axis is simulation year, and the y-axis is the ozone column (DU).

   ACME Antarctic O3 column (DU) time-series for September-means (1850)

NOTE:  The verticle scale is different for the 1850 plots.   This is broadly consistent with the observed trend, although we don't have much data prior to the CFC era.
