Short summary

The Background Error Analysis Testbed with Box Models (BEATBOX) is a toy model to investigate the effects of data assimilation on systems like tropospheric photochemistry in a box model fashion. We present the model system and show its application in a case study using data from a recent field campaign and employing commonly used tropospheric chemistry mechanisms.
