| + | |
− | **Radon-Lead-Beryllium

− | Starting with v9-02, family tracers (NOx, Ox) have now been removed from all GEOS-Chem mechanisms. The individual family members (NO, NO2, O3, etc.) are now carried as individual advected tracers and chemical species. Also, the isoprene mechanism from v9-01-03 now has been folded into the standard mechanism.

− | === Chemistry mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v10 ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We propose adding the [[UCX chemistry mechanism|'''Unified tropospheric-stratospheric Chemistry eXtension''' (UCX) mechanism]] into the release following v9-02. UCX, which was developed by Steven Barrett's group (the [http://lae.mit.edu MIT Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment]), combines the existing GEOS-Chem [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol|"standard" mechanism]] (based on [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-03|v9-01-03]]) with several new stratospheric species and reactions.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Because UCX will be a major update to GEOS-Chem, we propose naming the version in which it ships to GEOS-Chem v10-01. This will make it easier to denote versions that contain UCX from versions that do not.
