Three-dimensional simulation of stratospheric gravitational separation using the NIES global atmospheric tracer transport model

<p>A three-dimensional simulation of gravitational separation, defined as the process of atmospheric molecule separation under gravity according to their molar masses, is performed for the first time in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. We analyze distributions of two isotopes with...
