Impact of aircraft NOx emissions. Part 1: Interactively coupled climate-chemistry simulations and sensitivities to climate-chemistry feedback, lightning and model resolution

Simulations with the fully coupled climate-chemistry model E39/C suggest that the 1990 aircraft NOx emissions contributed substantially to the Northern Hemisphere NOx (30-40%) and ozone (3-4%) tropospheric burdens. Ozone production rates are increased by air traffic NOx emissions in the mid- and upp...
