• "A diabatic circulation two-dimensional model with photochemistry: simulations of ozone and long-lived tracers with surface sources."
• "This diabatic circulation also distributes ozone to lower altitudes in the high latitude regions, where, owing to a longer photochemical lifetime, it accumulates."
• "The second is that the reduced system clearly indicates what balances are appropriate for all diabatic cases, i.e., it is the only method that has provided a hot start initialization for cases where the heating is the controlling influence on the solution."
