This work aims at better understanding the atmospheric sulfur cycle in Antarctica through the use of an Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM). The "Antarctic" and "sulfur" versions of LMD-ZT ("Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - Zoom Tracers") AGCM have been merged for the study of the sulfur cycle at mid- and high-southern latitudes, with a high resolution in the Antarctic region. A method of "lateral" nudging of the Antarctic atmospheric circulation to analysis from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) has been specifically developed and applied. First, the model has been evaluated. It correctly represents the seasonal cycle of sulfur species at the observation sites in Antarctica. However, several def...
