Here NIT is added to SO4 but NIT is in different units than SO4. This unit difference can be traced to the definition of IDTRMB, which is only nonzero for species that are in the SMVGEAR mechanism. Since NIT is not a SMVGEAR species, IDTRMB = 0 for NIT and it is therefore skipped in the unit conversion from kg --> molec/cm3 in <tt>partition.F</tt>.

1. Since FastJX already takes this into account with cross section data at 574nm, we do not need to redo this in <tt>calcrate.f</tt>. We can therefore comment out this entire IF block:

Currently, this done using an off-line script described in a [http://www.evernote.com/l/ATuCIZsKADFPPKnKQBlk07TFevitHHQ1Q_o/ linked note]. The approach is pretty straight-forward, but could be expanded to check conservation of functional groups as suggested by Mat.

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>

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. This makes the loss of NOx larger than it should be (18.7% vs. 10%) and also reduces the yield of MVK/MACR/CH2O by about 13%.

'''''[mailto:fabienpaulot@gmail.com Fabien Paulot] wrote:'''''
+
Right now, ALK4 (via R4O2) produces 4.26 moles carbon products per reaction. The ALK4 representation can be traced back to a paper by Frederick Lurmann. That paper refers to a report that I have been unable to obtain. In fact, Frederick Lurmann no longer has a copy.  When we spoke, however, he confirmed my suspicion that ALK4 is based on a 70% butane and 30% pentane mixture. Our 4.26 carbon product appears to be based on two differences (typos?) from the paper that alter the yields.
  
:I think there is a relatively serious bug in the standard chemistry. GLPAN and GLCO3 are set to inactive but their production and loss reactions are active.  As a result they never reach equilibrium and this results in an artificial loss of NOx.
+
If ALK4 emissions are introduced using a 4C assumption, then ALK4 chemistry is acting as a 7% carbon source. From a ozone reactivity standpoint, this is not a major issue. First, the speciation of VOC is highly uncertain and most of the atmosphere is NOx-limited. Even so, it represents another reason to revisit our lumped species.
  
:If this is the only cause of the imbalance between sources and sinks of NOx in my simulations, this would account for ~5% of NOy losses. I don't see that problem in a simulation with a different chemistry that among other changes does not feature those reactions. So hopefully that's it.
+
I have [https://www.evernote.com/shard/s315/sh/f2ec9589-d827-4ee1-afcb-96ee5a2d2914/d84318450f729cd414e4a6653c03a296 extensive notes] on what I interpret as happening.  To the best of my knowledge, we need to make three modifications to R4O2 + NO. The first two are to make R4O2 correctly linked to Lurmann and the third is to correctly connect the mass emissions with the molar conservation.
  
:To fix the error, I made the following modifications in <tt>globchem.dat</tt>:
+
#Increase MO2 stoichiometry from 0.18 to 0.19
 +
#Increase RCHO stoichiometry from 0.13 to 0.14 (or A3O2 from 0.05 to 0.06 -- it is not clear to me when this was introduced).
 +
#Modify the carbon count for ALK4 (i.e. the <tt>MolecRatio</tt> field in the [[GEOS-Chem species database]]) from 4 to 4.3.
  
:#I set GLPAN and GLCO3 rxns from active to dead. These rxns were causing an artificial loss of NOx.
+
Fixes 1 and 2&mdash;which can be applied to the KPP <tt>globchem.eqn</tt> file&mdash;will make the carbon conservation consistent with Lurmann's.    Right now, it looks like there were a couple changes that could have been inadvertent (i.e., 0.18 instead of 0.19). If there was a reason for these changes, I have been unable to find it.</blockquote>

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.

Carbon balance

Script for evaluating carbon balance

Barron Henderson wrote:

[I created] an evaluation script to preserve balances going forward as the mechanism evolves (e.g., as isoprene gets updated).

Currently, this done using an off-line script described in a linked note. The approach is pretty straight-forward, but could be expanded to check conservation of functional groups as suggested by Mat.

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.

Identification of carbon leaking reactions

Sarah Safieddine wrote:

76 other reactions leaked carbon, we enforced carbon conservation by tracking the lost carbon as CO2 (labeled as {CO2} in the document ROC_SI.docx, Table 2). This is the supplementary material for Safieddine, Heald and Henderson, 2017. It contains the corrections for both the carbon leaking and carbon creating reactions and all other information. The paper for reference can be found here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2017GL072602/abstract.

Fixes to correct ALK4 lumping issue

These fixes were included in v11-02a and approved on 12 May 2017.

Barron Henderson wrote:

I have a lumping-related issue that I know some of you are already aware of. There is a chemical carbon source (and secondary ETO2 source).

Right now, ALK4 (via R4O2) produces 4.26 moles carbon products per reaction. The ALK4 representation can be traced back to a paper by Frederick Lurmann. That paper refers to a report that I have been unable to obtain. In fact, Frederick Lurmann no longer has a copy. When we spoke, however, he confirmed my suspicion that ALK4 is based on a 70% butane and 30% pentane mixture. Our 4.26 carbon product appears to be based on two differences (typos?) from the paper that alter the yields.

If ALK4 emissions are introduced using a 4C assumption, then ALK4 chemistry is acting as a 7% carbon source. From a ozone reactivity standpoint, this is not a major issue. First, the speciation of VOC is highly uncertain and most of the atmosphere is NOx-limited. Even so, it represents another reason to revisit our lumped species.

I have extensive notes on what I interpret as happening. To the best of my knowledge, we need to make three modifications to R4O2 + NO. The first two are to make R4O2 correctly linked to Lurmann and the third is to correctly connect the mass emissions with the molar conservation.

  1. Increase MO2 stoichiometry from 0.18 to 0.19
  2. Increase RCHO stoichiometry from 0.13 to 0.14 (or A3O2 from 0.05 to 0.06 -- it is not clear to me when this was introduced).
  3. Modify the carbon count for ALK4 (i.e. the MolecRatio field in the GEOS-Chem species database) from 4 to 4.3.
Fixes 1 and 2—which can be applied to the KPP globchem.eqn file—will make the carbon conservation consistent with Lurmann's. Right now, it looks like there were a couple changes that could have been inadvertent (i.e., 0.18 instead of 0.19). If there was a reason for these changes, I have been unable to find it.

Isoprene chemistry

I've created a page with some of the recent literature on isoprene chemistry. Please add more papers as they come along! ( MJE Leeds)

HO2 + CH2O

Scheme does not contain the HO2 + CH2O --> Adduct reaction (MJE Leeds)

According to this paper, this reaction is significant when Temperature is below 220K.
