MOZART (model)

MOZART (model)

MOZART (Model for OZone And Related chemical Tracers) is a chemistry transport model (CTM) developed jointly by the (US) National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-Met) to simulate changes in ozone concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere. MOZART was designed to simulate tropospheric chemical and transport processes, but has been extended into the stratosphere and mesosphere. It can be driven by standard meteorological fields from, e.g.,

  • the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)
  • the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
  • the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (DMAO)

or by fields generated from general circulation models.

Famous quotes containing the word mozart:

    “As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.”
    —Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
