A global three-dimensional model of the circulation and chemistry of CFCl3, CF2Cl2, CH3CCl3, CCl4, and N2OThe use of a three-dimensional spectral model to study the tropospheric and stratospheric circulation, chemistry, and photochemistry of the CFCl3, CF2Cl2, CH3CCl3, CCl4, and N2O atmospheric species is examined. The components of the model are described. Lifetime, regional, and global trends and budgets for the species are evaluated. Calculated horizontal, vertical, and temporal distributions of the atmospheric species are compared with observations; good correlation is detected. The differences observed between calculated and observed surface distributions of CH3CCl3 and the vertical distribution of CCl4 are analyzed. The calculated global atmospheric lifetimes of CFCl3, CF2Cl2, CCl4, and N2O are 73, 210, 48, and 182 years, respectively.
