This talk tries to give an overview of the tropospheric modelling activities connected to biomass burning events at the iup.
The used models, their advantages and their restrictions will be described briefly.
The most important issue will be the comparison of the tropospheric excess ozone, formaldehyd and NO2 as seen by GOME with own model results. Can we understand the atmospheric content of the these trace gases qualitatively and quantitatively?
Which processes are responsible for the pollution seen by GOME? (Biomass burning or lightning?)
Is the biomass burning a global (intercontinental) issue? Or is it restriced to a small area only?
