Abstract
This paper describes a one dimensional (1D) model developed in
the Atmospheric Chemistry Division
(ACD) at the National Center
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The 1D model describes the height
and
time of an inert species in the Mexico City’s Boundary Layer
(MCBL) through a standard day and the
results show that a 1D model is useful to describe the diffusion.
This model was developed as part of a
three dimensional (3D) model (Hess
et al., 1998), for study of the transport and chemistry of species
in the
atmosphere with emphasis on the ozone (O3) photochemistry, and
the effect of an aerosol layer on the
photochemistry in the boundary layer. The 1D model was developed
during my participation in the
Significant Opportunities
in Atmospheric Research and Science (SOARS) Program.
