| − | 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.

| − | === Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v10 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We propose adding the [[UCX chemistry mechanism|'''Unified tropospheric-stratospheric Chemistry eXtension''' (UCX) mechanism]] into the release following [[GEOS-Chem 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.

| − | === Flexchem ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We also propose to add a cleaner implementation of KPP into GEOS-Chem. This implementation, which we have named Flexchem, will allow users to customize the chemical mechanism according to their research interests. Flexchem will remove the existing SMVGEAR and KPP infrastructure, and all related input files (i.e. <tt>globchem.dat</tt>, <tt>mglob.dat</tt>, etc.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As of this writing (Oct 2013), Flexchem is still under development. We hope to have it installed in a version of GEOS-Chem sometime in 2014.

| − | == Specialty simulations ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | GEOS-Chem can also perform "specialty simulations" (aka "offline simulations"). These are simulations for species having simpler chemistry mechanisms that do not require the use of the full chemical solver. Many of these simulations rely on oxidant fields (O3, OH) saved out from one a "full-chemistry" simulation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The following table provides links to information about the available specialty simulations in GEOS-Chem. Please note that some of these simulations are out of date and will need some intervention to be brought back to the state of the science. Contact the relevant [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_working_groups.html GEOS-Chem Working Groups] for more information.
