Abstract
This is a review of some of the more recently published comparisons of models with middle atmosphere trace species measurements. The extent to which models emulate the actual chemical composition of the atmosphere is delineated by emphasizing areas where models have done poorly, or are in disagreement with each other, rather than areas where there is good agreement between models and measurements. The trace species discussed are primarily N 2O, HNO 3, NO 2, NO, NO 3, N 2O 5, HCl, ClONO 2, ClO, and ozone. It is hoped that these remarks on the relation of model results to the existing measurements will aid in the preparation of the future COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere of Trace Species.
