Abstract: The article describes the tropospheric chemistry version of the global chemistry transport model called Tracer Model 5 (TM5) version TM5-chem-v3.0. It offers an overview of the general setup of the model and discusses the gas-phase reaction scheme, the photolysis parameterization, and the description of aerosol processes. It evaluates the model using a simulation for the year 2006 and depicts the ability to reproduce the large-scale variability in space and time.
