The net vertical tracer flux in the stratosphere is due primarily to advection by the global-scale mean meridional circulation, not to diffusion by turbulent eddies. Using a simple model of this circulation, it is shown that the net flux can be approximated by a flux-gradient relationship in which the vertical “eddy transport” coefficient is proportional to the square of the diabatic heating rate and inversely proportional to the rate at which meridional tracer gradients are destroyed by horizontal eddy mixing and chemical damping. Thus the transport coefficient will differ for tracers with differing chemical lifetimes. Profiles computed for various source gases (CH4, N2O, CF2Cl2, and CFCl3) show that this parameterization provides an improvement over conventional formulations that utilize a single transport coefficient for all species.
