The advantages of the GCM-derived advection over that derived from diabatic heating rates are twofold. First, it unifies the tropospheric transport (the Hadley circulation) and the stratospheric transport (the Brewer-Dobson circulation). Second, it has the realism of a full GCM. For the Earth's atmosphere, we use winds from the National Center for Climate Prediction (NCEP). The Jupiter winds are taken from simulations obtained by the Comparative Planetology Laboratory at the University of Louisville. The chemical tracers used were N2O and C2H6 for the terrestrial and Jovian atmospheres, respectively. <br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 0300 ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE<br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 0317 Chemical kinetic and photochemical properties<br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 0322 Constituent sources and sinks<br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 0340 Middle atmosphere--composition and chemistry<br></span> DE: <span class="de"> 0343 Planetary atmospheres (5405, 5407, 5409, 5704, 5705, 5707)<br></span> SC: <span class="sc"> Atmospheric Sciences [A]<br></span> MN: <span class="mn"> 2003 Fall Meeting<br></span></p></body></html>
