Abstract

Recent analyses have revealed simple relationships between the simultaneously measured mixing ratios of certain stratospheric constituents. In some cases, the relationship appears to be nearly linear, so that measured concentrations of one can be used to predict the other. We argue here that such relationships are to be expected for species of sufficiently long lifetime. Species whose local lifetimes are longer than quasi‐horizontal transport time scales are in climatological slope equilibrium, i.e., they share surfaces of constant mixing ratio, and a scatter plot of the mixing ratio of one versus that of the other collapses to a compact curve whose slope at any point is the ratio of the net global fluxes of the two species through the corresponding surface of constant mixing ratio. Species whose local lifetimes are greater than vertical transport time scales are in gradient equilibrium and their mixing ratios display a linear relationship. For species whose atmospheric lifetimes are determined by removal in the stratosphere, the slope of this relationship in the lower stratosphere can be related to the ratio of their atmospheric lifetimes. These statements are illustrated using results from a two‐dimensional chemistry‐transport model.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
