Résumé

The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis Multimodel Intercomparison Project (AMMA-MIP) performed global chemistry-transport model (CTM) simulations for the West African region in 2006, highlighting the diverse behavior of convective uplift, advective mixing, and the composition of the tropical atmosphere. Four different CTMs were involved in the study and five passive tracers were included for predefined regional domains within the African continent. It was found that models given by the ECMWF meteorological fields show similar tracer distributions for February and August, while the southerly transport is more limited during August in all models. A strong correlation was found with the maximum of the southern African passive tracer in August, indicating that the source of the high concentration originates from this region.
