This page describes the DSMACC chemical box model (U. Leeds).

Overview

Brief description

The Dynamically Simple Model of Atmospheric Chemical Complexity (DSMACC) is designed to be a simple box model which can easily change its chemical scheme and can be used both for free running and constrained simulations. It is written in FORTRAN and uses the KPP solvers FAQ, the TUV photolysis scheme and can use the Master Chemical Mechanism or other chemical mechanisms.

DSMACC is based out of the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science at the School of Earth and Environment of the University of Leeds.

DSMACC is a useful and flexible tool. We are using it to test new GEOS-Chem chemical mechanisms.
