In order to illustrate the type of results provided by the model, we present selected two-dimensional model distributions of model output. These results are expected to change in the future as model parameters, boundary conditions, and other inputs are modified. The results shown here are for the month of January with 1992 boundary conditions.
5.1 Dynamics.
Figures 2 to 9 present the calculated zonally averaged distributions of temperature, zonal wind, meridional and vertical wind velocities (TEM circulation), solar UV heating, terrestrial IR cooling, as well as the Rossby wave and gravity wave forcing.

5.2 Chemistry.
Figures 10 to 21 show the calculated zonally averaged distibutions of selected chemical constituents
(diurnally averaged mixing ratios) of N2O, CH4, HNO3, NOx, ClONO2, HCl, ClOx,
BrOx, BrONO2, CFC-10, CH3Br, and O3.
