Diagnosing the transition layer at extratropical latitudes using MLS O<sub>3</sub> and MOPITT CO analyses

The behavior of the extratropical transition layer (ExTL) is investigated using a chemistry transport model (CTM) and analyses derived from assimilation of MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder) O<sub>3</sub> and MOPITT (Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere) CO data. We firstly focus on a...
