Transport mechanisms for synoptic, seasonal and interannual SF<sub>6</sub> variations and "age" of air in troposphere

We use an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) driven chemistry-transport model (ACTM) to simulate the evolution of sulfur hexafluoride (SF<sub>6</sub>) in the troposphere. The model results are compared with continuous measurements at 6 sites over 71&deg; N–90&deg; S. Th...
