1 Use of mul*- tracers simula*ons for characterizing transport models (TransCom- HIPPO?) Prabir Patra, Steve Wofsy, Bri2on Stephens et al. Presented at HIPPO workshop Mar 212 NOAA/ESRL, Boulder, USA Research InsMtute for Global Change

2 IntroducMon UncertainMes in transport model impede use and interpretamon (inversion) of atmospheric observamons We believe use of mulm- tracers is crimcal to separate errors associated with surface fluxes and model transport HIPPO transects and seasonal measurements provide unique opportunity to characterize transport model propermes

3 Scheme of GHGs Simula*on in ACTM (Patra et al., 29) Model: CCSR/NIES/FRCGC Atmospheric General CirculaMon Model (AGCM) Meteorology: ECMWF/NCEP/JMA for the period is nuddged at relaxamon Mme of 1-5 day for U, V, and T Gases: CO 2, CH 3 CCl 3, CH 4, CFC- 12, N 2 O, SF 6, 222 Rn Tracers: 1.
