Abstract
Calculations of the Northward eddy fluxes of stratospheric ozone in a three-dimensional chemical-dynamical model are discussed. It is shown that, although approximately 50 percent of the zonal mean flux is produced by stationary planetary wavenumbers 1 and 2, the wintertime flux due to the chemical eddies is substantially underestimated when a quasi-linear representation is used
