Parameterization of middle atmospheric water vapor photochemistry for high-altitude NWP and data assimilation

This paper describes CHEM2D-H2O, a new parameterization of H<sub>2</sub>O photochemical production and loss based on the CHEM2D photochemical-transport model of the middle atmosphere. This parameterization accounts for the altitude, latitude, and seasonal variations in th...
