In addition to the standard CH4 simulation, users may also choose to run the tagged CH4 simulation where methane species are tagged by emission source.

:1. '''annual_met.pro:'''  The methane simulation uses monthly and annual average skin temperature and soil moisture values from the met fields.  These are calculated offline using IDL ("annual_met.pro").  This file can be found on the ftp site in the methane data directory with the LPJ wetland emission scheme (e.g., "GEOS_0.5x0.666_NA/CH4_201305/wetlands").  The script should work as is for 2004-2011, however we don't currently have the met data for 2012 so you may need to modify "global_ch4_mod.F" if you're interested in 2012 or 2013.

:2. '''Seasonality of Rice Emissions:'''  Seasonality in the rice emissions is imposed through annual and monthly average soil moisture values.  This works reasonably well for major rice growing areas like South/East Asia where rice paddies are rain-fed, but it fails in other regions.  For example, California rice paddies are irrigated and crops are grown in the summer, precisely when the natural soil is the driest.  You can enter the "global_ch4_mod.F", subroutine "RICE_EMIS", and impose any seasonality you want on the annual emission rates from EDGAR.
+
−
 
+
−
:3. '''Potential Global Mean Bias:'''  The methane simulation may not simulate global average concentrations accurately.  That is, you may have a mean bias of up to +/-30ppbv when you compare the simulation to observations.  A global mean bias means that the model has a slight imbalance between the sources and sinks relative to the world.  You may want to consider removing this mean bias before analyzing your model concentrations.

== Recent science updates ==
+

The following updates were recently added into the GEOS-Chem CH4 simulation:
+
−
 
+
−
=== Update CH4 emissions to EDGAR v4.2 ===
+
−
 
+
−
The CH4 simulation now uses emissions from the EDGAR v4.2 inventory.
+
−
 
+
−
==== In GEOS-Chem v10-01 and newer versions ====
+
−
 
+
−
In [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] and newer versions, EDGAR v4.2 CH4 emissions are read with the [[HEMCO|HEMCO emissions component]].  We have created [http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/CH4/v2014-09/README new emission data files for the CH4 simulation] (in [[Preparing data files for use with HEMCO|COARDS-compliant netCDF format]]) for use with HEMCO. These new data files are contained in the [[HEMCO data directories|HEMCO data directory tree]].  For detailed instructions on how to download these data files to your disk server, please see our [[HEMCO_data_directories#Downloading_the_HEMCO_data_directories|''Downloading the HEMCO data directories'' wiki post]].

== Previous issues that are now resolved ==

The following bugs and/or issues with the code have now been resolved:
 
−
 
−
=== Now call INIT_GLOBAL_CH4 from input_mod.F ===
 
−
 
−
'''''This update was validated in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem v10-01 benchmark history#v10-01c|v10-01c]] and approved on 29 May 2014.'''''
 
−
 
−
Prior to [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]], routine <tt>INIT_GLOBAL_CH4</tt> (in module <tt>GeosCore/global_ch4_mod.F</tt>) was called from the main driver routine <tt>main.F</tt> at the start of the simulation.
 
−
 
−
In order to make the code more compatible with our [[Grid-Independent GEOS-Chem]] development, we now call <tt>INIT_TAGGED_CH4</tt> from routine <tt>GIGC_INIT_EXTRA</tt> (in module <tt>GeosCore/input_mod.F</tt>).

'''''These updates were validated in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem v10-01 benchmark history#v10-01c|v10-01c]] and approved on 29 May 2014.'''''
 
−
 
−
We have made a couple of fixes to the CH4 simulation module (<tt>GeosCore/global_ch4_mod.F</tt>) for compatibility with the [[MERRA]] met fields.  At lines 1114, and again at line 1503, there were #if blocks that looked like this:

−
#if  defined( GEOS_5 ) || defined( GEOS_FP )
 
−

but these should have been:
 
−

#if  defined( GEOS_5 ) || defined( GEOS_FP ) || defined( MERRA )
 
−
 
−
Furthermore, in data directory <tt>GEOS_4x5/CH4_201305/wetlands</tt>, we have symbolically linked files:

GWETTOP.geos5.4x5.YYYY.bpch --> GWETTOP.merra.4x5.YYYY.bpch
