Abstract: We analyze present‐day and future carbon monoxide (CO) simulations in 26 state‐of‐the‐art atmospheric chemistry models run to study future air quality and climate change. In comparison with near‐global satellite observations from the MOPITT instrument and local surface measurements, the models show large underestimates of Northern Hemisphere (NH) extratropical CO, while typically performing reasonably well elsewhere. The results suggest that year‐round emissions, probably from fossil fuel burning in east Asia and seasonal biomass bu...
