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:
# 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.
# The aerosol-only simuation is currently functional in GEOS-Chem Classic.
# 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.  These files are generally located in the sulfate_sim_200508/offline/ directory in your GEOS-Chem data directories.
# There is currently no aerosol-only run directory for GCHP. Interested users are encouraged to make this modification on their own.
# OH concentrations are archived from the most recent 10-year benchmark simulation.
# 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.

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 offline aerosol is simulation type 10. For a full set of aerosol tracers (based on the 59-tracer full-chemistry SOA simulation), the input.geos should look like this:  
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].

We recommend that you create the run directory for your aerosol-only (a.k.a offline aerosol simulation) from one of the GEOS-Chem full-chemistry run directories.  
  Tracer #34              : 35  ISOA1  150.00
 
  Tracer #36              : 36  ISOA2  150.00
First, use Git to download one of the [[Secondary organic aerosols#SOA run directories|full-chemistry run directories for the simulation with secondary organic aerosols]].   
  Tracer #37              : 37  ISOA3 150.00
 
  Tracer #38              : 38   BENZ    12.00  (6C)
Next, edit the TRACER MENU section of the <tt>input.geos</tt> file so that only the [[#Tracer list|aerosol tracers are listed]].

Tracer #40              : 40  XYLE   12.00  (8C)
Next, create a new restart file that contains only the aerosol tracers. The easiest way to do this is with [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/gamap/ GAMAP].  Start GAMAP and Then all you’d have to do is change the number of tracers in “input.geos”. You could also create a new restart file with GAMAP.  Start GAMAP with:
  Tracer #41              : 41  ASOG1  150.00
 
Tracer #42              : 42  ASOG2  150.00
   gamap, file=’restart.4x5.geos5.2004010100', 'IJ-AVG-$'
  Tracer #43              : 43  ASOG3  150.00
 
Tracer #44              : 44  ASOAN  150.00
Then pick the tracers you want to save, and type
Tracer #45              : 45  ASOA1  150.00
 
Tracer #46              : 46  ASOA2  150.00
   S25-56    # this is DMS .. SALC in the 59-tracer SOA fullchem file
Tracer #47              : 47  ASOA3  150.00
 
and when prompted for an output file name, type
 
   restart.4x5.geos5.2004010100.aer_only
 
and press "OK". Make sure to add this restart file name to the SIMULATION MENU section of your input.geos file.
 
You may also need to create an [[Secondary organic aerosols#The SOA restart file|SOA restart file]] which contains the concentrations of various short-lived secondary organic aerosol quantities.

== 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:
