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.
