NOx, HOx, Ozone and Temperature The plots show the difference between perturbed run and reference run from 1976 to 2002. The first two years were neglected to avoid spin up problems. Hatched areas show 95% significance.
NOy and HNO3 • The upper panel shows the monthly mean for 1978 to 2002 for NOy • Clearly visible the NOy decrease during SH winter. • The explanation is visible in the lower panel which shows monthly mean HNO3 for 1978 to 2002. • The denitrification is responsible for the decrease of NOy.
