DATA ASSIMILATION<br />
A two years simulation within C-IFS shows that the linear carbon monoxide chemical scheme produces<br />
similar tropospheric concentrations of CO than a more complete tropospheric chemical scheme available in<br />
C-IFS. But it underestimates the tropospheric concentrations by 10 to 50 ppbv both compared to the GEMS<br />
reanalysis and measurements from the Mozaic dataset. To reduce this tropospheric bias, we adjusted the<br />
production minus loss rate term of the linear scheme in order to obtain a similar evolution in the CO total<br />
mass than the one extracted from the GEMS reanalysis [5]. This allowed us to run another two years C-IFS<br />
simulation that produces global CO fields at a resolution of about 25 km (Fig. 3.4). The evaluation of this<br />
simulation in under progress.<br />
