| − | === Stratospheric chemistry ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | GEOS-Chem was historically developed as a model of tropospheric chemistry and composition. The above-mentioned [[#Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03 and prior versions|chemistry mechamisms in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]] and [[#Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v9-02 and later versions|in GEOS-Chem v9-02]] only solve the chemical reaction matrix within the troposphere. In order to prevent tropospheric species from accumulating in the stratosphere and being transported back into the troposphere, we have implemented the following simple stratospheric chemistry schemes:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # [[Linoz stratospheric ozone chemistry]]
| + | |
| − | # [[Stratospheric chemistry|Application of monthly-mean prod/loss rates archived from the GMI model]]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Linoz only applied to ozone. The simple linearized stratospheric chemistry, which uses production and loss rates archived from the GMI model, is applied to all other species. (NOTE: The user has the option to disable Linoz and use the archived GMI prod/loss rates for ozone, but this is typically not done.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] we added the [[UCX_chemistry_mechanism|'''Unified tropospheric-stratospheric Chemistry eXtension''' (UCX) mechanism]] into GEOS-Chem. UCX was developed by Seb Eastham and Steven Barrett at the [http://lae.mit.edu MIT Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment]. This mechanism combines the existing GEOS-Chem [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol|"NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol" mechanism]] with several new stratospheric species and reactions.

| − | == Planned updates ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The following chemistry updates are slated for inclusion to GEOS-Chem following the [[GEOS-Chem v10-01|v10-01]] release.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === 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 2015), Flexchem is still under development. It is scheduled for inclusion in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01 benchmark history|v11-01 history]].

| − | === Monoterpene Nitrate Chemistry ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An experimental monoterpene nitrate chemistry scheme has been implemented for simulation of the SEAC4RS data. The paper describing the implementation (Fisher et al., 2016) has not yet been peer reviewed. If you are interested in using this scheme in advance of possible eventual inclusion in GEOS-Chem, you can see the detailed [[monoterpene nitrate scheme]] or contact Jenny Fisher (jennyf@uow.edu.au).

| − | == Mechanisms for aerosol microphysics ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | GEOS-Chem contains two different aerosol microphysics packages: [[TOMAS aerosol microphysics|TOMAS]] and [[APM aerosol microphysics|APM]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === TOMAS ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The [[TOMAS aerosol microphysics]] scheme has been fully integrated with [[GEOS-Chem v9-02]]. It adds several size-resolved aerosols (you may select from 12, 15, 30, or 40 size bins) to the [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol|standard GEOS-Chem "full-chemistry" simulation]]. For complete information about the TOMAS simulation, please see our [[TOMAS aerosol microphysics]] wiki page.

| − | === APM ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The [[APM aerosol microphysics]] is currently being re-integrated into GEOS-Chem. APM needs to be brought up to date with the recent update for [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#SOA_simulation_with_semi-volatile_POA|secondary organic aerosols with semi-volatile primary organic aerosols]]. The work is ongoing as of October 2013.

| − | == 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 a full chemical solver such as SMVGEAR or KPP. Many of these simulations rely on oxidant fields (O3, OH) archived from a previous "full-chemistry" simulation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === List of specialty simulations ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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 require some work in order 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 Group] for more information.

| − | The [[GEOS-Chem Support Team]] will be happy to assist you with technical issues (i.e. debugging, or answering questions about coding) pertaining to specialty simulations. However, we expect the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_people.html GEOS-Chem user community] to be responsible for the scientific content and validation of offline simulations, and shall:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Provide the appropriate code, data, and documentation for offline simulations to the GEOS-Chem Support Team
| + | |
| − | # Benchmark and evaluate GEOS-Chem offline simulations
| + | |
| − | # Notify the GEOS-Chem support team of any bugs or technical issues.

| − | [mailto:barronh@ufl.edu Barron Henderson] (U. Florida) has created a [[Process Analysis Diagnostics|software package for process analysis diagnostics]]. He writes:

| − | <blockquote>Process-based Analysis examines the change in each species due to each process and reaction. Models predict atmospheric state, which in a time-series can be used to create net-change of each species. What this cannot tell us, is which processes led to that change. To supplement state (or concentration), GEOS-Chem has long archived emissions and employed advanced diagnostics to predict gross chemical production or loss. Process Analysis goes a step further archiving grid-cell budgets for each species, and decomposing gross production/loss into individual reaction contributions. Process Analysis extensions are currently available in CAMx, WRF-Chem, CMAQ, and now GEOS-Chem. This allows for direct comparisons of models at a fundamental, process level.</blockquote>
