Short summary

This paper describes the set-up and evaluation of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator – chemistry-climate model.

Emphasis is placed on the Antarctic ozone hole, which is very important considering its role modulating Southern Hemisphere surface climate. While the model simulates the global distribution of ozone well, there is a disparity in the vertical location of springtime ozone depletion over Antarctica, highlighting important areas for future development.
