MOZART: Model for OZone And Related chemical Tracers
MOZART is a comprehensive global chemical transport model of atmospheric composition designed to simulate chemical and transport processes. It is driven by standard meteorogical fields output from any number of meteorological centers (e.g. the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), or Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO)) or by fields generated from climate models. MOZART was developed at NCAR, the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology, and NOAA/GFDL.
MOZART-2 is the tropospheric version that was published in Horowitz et al. [JGR, 2003] (and is now obsolete).
MOZART-3 is an extension of MOZART-2 into the stratosphere and mesosphere [Kinnison et al., JGR, 2007].
MOZART-4 is an updated version of MOZART-2, including tropospheric aerosols and other improvements. The model description paper has just been published in Geoscientific Model Development [Emmons et al., 2009].
