On the uses of a new linear scheme for stratospheric methane in global models: water source, transport tracer and radiative forcing

This study evaluates effects and applications of a new linear parameterisation for stratospheric methane and water vapour. The new scheme (CoMeCAT) is derived from a 3-D full-chemistry-transport model (CTM). It is suitable for any global model, and is shown here to produce realistic profiles in the...
