Chemical Transport Models (CTMs) are mathematical models that simulate the movement and transformation of chemical species in the atmosphere. Full definition
Dr Ryan Hossaini of Lancaster University and colleagues use simulations with a global chemical transport model to examine the sensitivity of future stratospheric chlorine and ozone levels to sustained dichloromethane growth. (sciencedaily.com)
Early one - dimensional box - model estimates of the radiative forcing (e.g., Charlson et al., 1992) using simplified expressions for radiative forcing have been superseded by global calculations using prescribed aerosol concentrations from chemical transport models (CTMs). (ipcc.ch)
To provide guidance for future high - resolution simulations, Dai et al. used a computationally cheaper, two - dimensional chemical transport model to systematically estimate the effects of injecting sulfur dioxide and sulfate aerosols at a range of altitudes, latitudes, and time frames for 62 separate scenarios.
