Besides the analyses of data derived from field and laboratory measurements, results from numerical models are useful to better understand the thermal and dynamical structure as well as the chemical composition of the Earth's atmosphere. In the recent past, climate—chemistry models (CCMs) have been developed to investigate the mutual effects of radiative, dynamical, and chemical processes, in particular, to examine the connections of atmospheric chemistry and climate change in detail. These models also provide a basis for the prognostic studies of the future evolution of atmospheric dynamics and chemical composition, for example to assess the timing of recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer.
