An evaluation of ozone dry deposition in global-scale chemistry-climate models

This research paper evaluates ozone dry deposition fluxes across an ensemble of 15 global-scale chemistry-climate models, comparing model outputs to observations in Europe and North America to identify discrepancies driven by land cover.

• The study represents the first analysis of ozone dry deposition fluxes in global scale chemistry climate models, utilizing an ensemble of 15 models from the TF HTAP model intercomparison to identify regions where fluxes differ substantially, noting that land cover drives these differences.
• Many atmospheric and Earth system models rely on "resistance in series" schemes from the 1980s that have not been updated to incorporate recent field and laboratory-based understanding of underlying processes.
• Comparisons between modelled ozone dry deposition fluxes and measurements at various sites in North America and Europe revealed differences of up to a factor of two, although no clear systematic bias was found across the examined sites.
