ØOpen the model cfc.mdl in the directory UserGuide\chap16 (a completed version is in the Complete directory).
ØORBuild the model as shown in the diagram and equation listing below.  Time Bounds are INITIAL TIME = 1930, FINAL TIME = 2130, TIME STEP = 0.5, Units for Time: Year.  

cfc.mdl  Equations

CFC 11 destroyed = CFC 11 in Stratosphere / 
       lifetime of CFC 11 in stratosphere

Units: Mkg/Year

CFC 11 in Stratosphere = INTEG(
migration to stratosphere - CFC 11 destroyed,
       0)

Units: Mkg

CFC 11 in Troposphere = INTEG(
atmospheric CFC 11 releases - migration to stratosphere,
       0)

Units: Mkg

lifetime of CFC 11 in stratosphere = 55

Units: Year

migration to stratosphere = CFC 11 in Troposphere / 
       time to rise to stratosphere

Units: Mkg/Year

time to rise to stratosphere = 5

Units: Year

This model is complete except for the variable atmospheric CFC 11 releases.  

ØSave it in the directory UserGuide\chap15 with a different name (e.g., mycfc.mdl).
