TL;DR: The revised manuscript includes modifications to Figures 3-5 based on referee comments. The analysis of LS (475K) and US (700K) levels is now uniform. The revised version includes N2O, O3 and APV maps for 4 days (5, 11, 16 and 17 April 2008) at both 475-K and 700-K isentropic levels. Figure 4 has been removed and the figures have been renumbered accordingly.

Abstract: Reply Following the referee’s suggestion, figures 3-5 have been modified and rearranged so that the analysis of LS (475K) and US (700K) levels are uniform. In the modified version we make use of N2O, O3 and APV maps for 4 days (5, 11, 16 and 17 April 2008) at both 475-K and 700-K isentropic levels. Moreover, as suggested by the Referee, since the MIMOSA model is driven by ECMWF fields, the use of ECMWF data in Figure 4 is not necessary. In the revised version we removed Figure 4 and renumbed the figures accordingly. See the modified figure file.

A linear CO chemistry parameterization in a chemistry-transport model: evaluation and application to data assimilation
M. Claeyman,M. Claeyman,Jean-Luc Attié,Jean-Luc Attié,L. El Amraoui,Daniel Cariolle,Vincent-Henri Peuch,H. Teyssèdre,Béatrice Josse,Philippe Ricaud,Sebastien Massart,Andrea Piacentini,Jean-Pierre Cammas,Nathaniel J. Livesey,Hugh C. Pumphrey,David P. Edwards +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an evaluation of a new linear parameterization valid for the troposphere and the stratosphere, based on a first order approximation of the carbon monoxide (CO) continuity equation.
Observed and modelled “chemical weather” during ESCOMPTE
TL;DR: In this paper, the MOCAGE 3D multiscale chemistry and transport model (CTM) has been applied to study heavy pollution episodes observed during the ESCOMPTE experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms of transport on annual, semi-annual and quasi-biennial time scales in the equatorial (10° S-10° N) stratosphere were investigated using the nitrous oxide (N2O) measurements of the space-borne ODIN Sub-Millimetre Radiometer from November 2001 to June 2005, and the simulations of the three-dimensional chemical transport models MOCAGE and SLIMCAT.

TL;DR: In this article, an exceptional ozone increase in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere region has been recorded by an ozone sounding performed over the high Canadian Arctic at the beginning of August 2003.
Improving global chemical simulations of the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere with sequential assimilation of MOZAIC data
TL;DR: In this article, data assimilation experiments within the global Chemistry and Transport Model MOCAGE have been conducted, in the perspective of using the MOZAIC database and meteorological analyses to drivea global simulation of ozone and related tracers, focussing specially on the upper troposphere-lowerstratosphere; the chemistry and dynamics in this region of the atmosphere are of great environmentalinterest, yet they are currently very difficult to model.
