Energetic particle precipitation in ECHAM5/MESSy1 – Part 1: Downward transport of upper atmospheric NO<sub>x</sub> produced by low energy electrons

The atmospheric chemistry general circulation model ECHAM5/MESSy1 has been extended by processes that parameterise particle precipitation. Several types of particle precipitation that directly affect NO<sub>y</sub> and HO<sub>x</sub> concentrations in the middle atmosphere ar...
