Solar variability. The solar radiative forcing data are provided at

http://sparcsolaris. gfz-potsdam.de/input_data. php. Daily,

spectrally-resolved solar irradiance data from the NRLSSI model

(Lean et al., 2005), which have been used in previous CCMVal and

CMIP5 experiments, are recommended.

In addition, the inclusion of atmospheric ionization by solar protons

(and related HOx and NOx production) are strongly encouraged by

using the GOES-based ionization rate data set and a methodology

to derive HOx and NOx production rates from Jackman et al.(2009).

Models capable of considering indirect particle effects by the

inclusion of an Ap-parameterized auroral source or upper boundary

condition are encouraged to do so.

5How to extract EPP-NOy

1. By comparison with the reference model runsPro: clear approach.Contra: not compatible with observations. 2. Using correlations with other tracer (e.g., CH4, CO)Pro: comparable to observation.Contra: Not always clear what we are getting. 3. Multiple linear regression analysisPro: potentially comparable to observation.Contra: Not so easy to introduce time lag.

Conclusions

SPE and auroral electrons influence on the atmosphere were

simulated with CCM SOCOL in the framework of CCMI project

using SPR induced ionization and parameterized NOx influx;

The influence of EPP on NOy is visible in the model output

The response of NOy is in qualitative agreement with satellite

data

The influence of both SPE and auroral electrons is visible

The work on the evaluation of quantitative agreement between

model and satellite data is in progress
