Summary, in Swedish
Atmospheric models are used both to assist in the retrieval of information about tropospheric composition and to interpret the results. The models themselves encompass much of our knowledge and understanding about trace components in the atmosphere and so they themselves must be tested against data. Care must be taken not to mix the dual role so that one can be sure of the conclusions drawn, and also be alert to any new phenomena that may be revealed by the data. These issues are dealt with and illustrated here. Chapter 9 goes on to discuss inverse modelling which is used, for example, to deduce emissions from regional and global data sets. Another important topic is data assimilation in which data and models are combined to derive improved concentration fields and, for example, to make forecasts. A summary provides some perspectives for future work. There is also a useful appendix on the principles of inverse modelling.
