On this page we describe the aerosol-only (a.k.a. offline aerosol) simulation.
== Description ==
== Description ==
The aerosol simulation is an offline simulation for aerosol tracers only.  It uses archived monthly mean OH, NO3, O3 and total nitrate concentrations archived from a previous full-chemistry simulation (more on that below), as well as production and loss rates for H2O2. This simulation does not provide "tagged" capabilities, but reduces the suite of tracers from full chemistry.

== Assumptions ==
NOTES:
1. OH concentrations are taken from a previously run full chemistry simulation. The default is from a much earlier version of the model, when OH thought to be more realistic. The standard code uses OH from version 5-07-08, with GEOS3 meteorology.<br><br>
# The aerosol-only simuation is currently functional in GEOS-Chem Classic.
2. O3, NO3 and total nitrate (HNO3+NIT) concentrations, as well as production rates and photolysis rates for H2O2 are taken from a previously run full chemistry simulation. The current default fields were produced from a GEOS-4, v7-02-03 simulation.<br><br>

As with all other specialty simulations, the [https://geoschem.github.io/geos-chem-people-projects-map/ GEOS-Chem user community] shall be responsible for the scientific content and validation of the aerosol-only simulation.
 
The SOA simulation was updated in [[GEOS-Chem_v9-02_benchmark_history#v9-02o|GEOS-Chem v9-02o]] to include a better tracer lumping scheme, as shown in Figure 1 of [http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/10/11261/2010/acp-10-11261-2010.pdf Pye et al. 2010].


== Standard Tracers ==
The offline aerosol is simulation type 10. For a full set of aerosol tracers (based on the 100-tracer full-chemistry SOA simulation), the input.geos should look like this:
In a complete aerosol-only simulation there are 29 tracers (see input.geos below).  This list can be reduced by turning off any aerosol species (eg. SOA, dust, SS, etc).

== Recent aerosol-only updates ==
This list can be reduced by turning off any aerosol species (eg. SOA, dust, SS, etc).  You may also run without the secondary organic aerosols (MTPA, LIMO, MTPO, TSOG0–3, TSOA0–3, ISOG1–3, ISOA1–3, ASOG1–3, ASOA1–3, ASOAN) if you wish (but we recommend that you use them).

On this page we describe the aerosol-only (a.k.a. offline aerosol) simulation.

Description

The aerosol simulation is an offline simulation for aerosol tracers only. It uses archived monthly mean OH, NO3, O3 and total nitrate concentrations archived from a previous full-chemistry simulation (more on that below), as well as production and loss rates for H2O2. This simulation does not provide "tagged" capabilities, but reduces the suite of tracers from full chemistry.

NOTES:

  1. The aerosol-only simuation is currently functional in GEOS-Chem Classic.
  2. There is currently no aerosol-only run directory for GCHP. Interested users are encouraged to make this modification on their own.
  3. OH concentrations are archived from the most recent 10-year benchmark simulation.
  4. O3, NO3 and total nitrate (HNO3+NIT) concentrations, as well as production rates and photolysis rates for H2O2 are archived from the most recent 10-year benchmark simulation.

Practicalities

As with all other specialty simulations, the GEOS-Chem user community shall be responsible for the scientific content and validation of the aerosol-only simulation.

The SOA simulation was updated in GEOS-Chem v9-02o to include a better tracer lumping scheme, as shown in Figure 1 of Pye et al. 2010.

The offline aerosol is simulation type 10. For a full set of aerosol tracers (based on the 100-tracer full-chemistry SOA simulation), the input.geos should look like this:
