Abstract
We have developed an accurate and computationaly efficient parameterization of the ozone photochemistry based on detailed calculations from our two dimensional photochemical model. When this scheme is introduced in our GCM many features of the observed 03 behaviour are reproduced. In the winter Northern Hemisphere the transport of heat, momentum and ozone in the upper stratosphere is mainly due to the standing planetary waves, whereas below 50 mb the role of transient waves of tropospheric origin becomes important. Perhaps the most apparent success of the simulation is the ability of the model to generate medium scale waves often observed in the Southern Hemisphere and to reproduce their characteristic signal on the total ozone distribution.
