=== Bug in routine ARSL1K ===

''NOTE: This update is slated for inclusion in [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]]''

--[[User:Bmy|Bob Y.]] ([[User talk:Bmy|talk]]) 18:29, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

A bug in routine ARSL1K became problematic in the implementation of Justin Parrella's [[Bromine_chemistry_mechanism|tropospheric bromine chemistry mechanism]] for [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]]. In the bromine chemistry mechanism, a sticking coefficient of 0.0 is passed to the routine ARSL1K for non-sulfate, non-sea salt aerosol. The IF statement modified in [[GEOS-Chem_v8-02-04#Div-by-zero_error_encountered_in_arsl1k.f|GEOS-Chem v8-02-04]] resulted in the reaction rate being set to the default value of 1.0d-3. A 1-month benchmark for July 2005 indicated that the simulated BrO was a little more than twice the expected zonal mean. Modifying the default value from 1.0d-3 to 1.0d-30 resulted in reasonable simulated BrO values.

:I've re-run two 2 month simulation [using [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-02]]]. One with the error handling value of 1e-3 (standard) and one with it being 1e-30. There are 5127 time and space points where the model traps the problem and invokes the 1e-3 or 1e-30 value. There are 30*24*2*37*72*46 (roughly 200 million) time and space points when the error could have occurred so we are looking at a relatively infrequent event.

This is based on Jimenez et al. (Quantum yields of OH, HO2 and NO3 in the UV photolysis of HO2NO2, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 2005) shows that HO2 yield should be 0.95 and OH yield should be 0.05 for wavelength above 290nm.
+

This way all the near-IR photolysis will have most weight on HO2 channel(Stark et al., Overtone dissociation of peroxynitric acid (HO2NO2): Absorption cross sections and photolysis products, JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A, 2008).

[mailto:paulot@caltech.edu Fabien Paulot] found a problem in current chemistry scheme.  In [[GEOS-Chem v8-02-01]] and beyond, isoprene nitrates are produced twice: one through channel A and one through 10% loss in channel B.

Longer term, the same technique would ideally be built-in to the standard KPP as an optional report. I discussed it with Michael Long and we both think that KPP has most of the capability for atom conservation (if not all). It may simply be a matter of defining the chemical formulas in the *.spc file.</blockquote>
