TL;DR: A global chemical transport model of the atmosphere driven by prescribed surface emissions and by meteorological fields provided by the ECHAM5/Max Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPI-OM-1) coupled atmosphere-ocean model is used to assess how expected climate changes (2100 versus 2000 periods) should affect the chemical composition of the troposphere as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols (MUSICA) as discussed by the authors was developed collaboratively by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and university and government researchers with the goal of serving international research and applications communities.

TL;DR: It is found that daytime O3 decreased in the subtropical south, in contrast to increases in most other regions, and highlights the complex dependence of O3 on its precursors and the importance of meteorology in the short-term O3 variability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the emission estimates of air pollutants from various global inventories for five SA countries, namely Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru, in particular comparing local city-scale inventories of a major city in each country.
