FlexChem is a clean implementation of the [http://people.cs.vt.edu/~asandu/Software/Kpp/ Kinetic Pre-Processor (KPP)] present in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01]] and later versions. Within FlexChem, there are three supported chemical mechanisms: [https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/blob/master/KPP/Standard/Standard.eqn Standard], [https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/blob/master/KPP/Tropchem/Tropchem.eqn tropchem], and [https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/blob/master/KPP/SOA_SVPOA/SOA_SVPOA.eqn SOA_SVPOA]. Users also have the option to define their own Custom chemical mechanism. The source code in <tt>flexchem_mod.F90</tt> serves as the connection between the KPP chemical mechanism files and GEOS-Chem. It passes initial species concentrations, photolysis rates, meteorology fields, etc. to KPP, KPP then computes rates and runs the chemical solver, and finally the final concentrations are obtained from KPP and passed back to GEOS-Chem.
+
 
+
The main benefits of FlexChem are (1) better documentation of chemical mechanisms, (2) easier to drop in other chemical mechanisms, (3) should allow for faster chemistry, (4) allowed us to get rid of the older SMVGEAR solver.

=== KPP source code ===
+
 
+
<span style="color:red">'''''NOTE: the Kinetic Pre-Processor code requires the Flex library.  Check with your IT helpdesk if you have Flex installed on your system, and how to access it.'''''</span>
+
 
+
The KPP source code for FlexChem is currently available as a Git repository on Github. It can be obtained using:
+
 
+
git clone -b GC_updates https://github.com/geoschem/KPP
+
 
+
Do not download the KPP source code into your GEOS-Chem source code directory to avoid confusion with the KPP directory there. The KPP directory in the GEOS-Chem contains fortran files created by KPP to define the chemical mechanisms.
+
 
+
Once you have KPP on your system, you will need to build it:
+
 
+
cd KPP/kpp-2.2.3_01
+
make clean
+
make
+
 
+
If the build completed successfully, you should see the executable <tt>kpp</tt> in the <tt>KPP/kpp-2.2.3_01/bin/</tt> directory. Next, add KPP to your PATH. For bash users, add the following lines the <tt>~/.bashrc</tt> file:
+
 
+
export PATH=$PATH:/PATH_TO_KPP/KPP/kpp-2.2.3_01/bin/
+
export KPP_HOME=/PATH_TO_KPP/KPP/kpp-2.2.3_01
+
 
+
For csh or tcsh users, add the following lines to the <tt>~/.cshrc</tt> file:
+
 
+
setenv PATH $PATH:/PATH_TO_KPP/KPP/kpp-2.2.3_01/bin/
+
setenv KPP_HOME=/PATH_TO_KPP/KPP/kpp-2.2.3_01

=== Building a custom chemical mechanism ===
+
 
+
==== In GEOS-Chem v11-02 ====
+
 
+
A list of supported chemical mechanisms for GEOS-Chem are  described on our [[GEOS-Chem_chemistry_mechanisms#Mechanisms_in_GEOS-Chem_v10-01_and_later_versions|''GEOS-Chem chemistry mechanisms'' wiki page]].
+
 
+
GEOS-Chem will eventually include the option to create a custom chemistry mechanism and automatically build that mechanism with KPP when GEOS-Chem is compiled. For now, users still need to build custom chemistry mechanisms manually using the following files that can be found in the Custom mechanism subdirectory (e.g <tt>Code.v11-02/KPP/Custom/</tt>):
+
 
+
  Custom.eqn
+
  gckpp.kpp
+
  build_mechanism.sh
+
  rename_f90.sh (used by build_mechanism.sh)
+
 
+
The <tt>.eqn</tt> file currently included in each of the KPP mechanism subdirectories defines the variable species (<tt>#DEFVAR</tt>), fixed species (<tt>#DEFFIX</tt>), and reactions (<tt>#EQUATIONS</tt>) to include in that mechanism. The equations section is further broken down into gas-phase reactions, heterogeneous reactions, and photolysis reactions. The default custom mechanism defined in <tt>Custom.eqn</tt> is based on the [[GEOS-Chem_chemistry_mechanisms#Mechanisms_in_GEOS-Chem_v10-01_and_later_versions|Standard (UCX-based) mechanism]] (found in <tt>KPP/Standard/Standard.eqn</tt>). The production and loss families in the custom gckpp.kpp are also built for the  [[GEOS-Chem_chemistry_mechanisms#Mechanisms_in_GEOS-Chem_v10-01_and_later_versions|Standard (UCX-based) mechanism]] (found in <tt> KPP/Standard/gckpp.kpp </tt>), and will not work with the <tt>Tropchem.eqn </tt>. If you would like to base your custom mechanism on the tropchem mechanism instead, simply copy the <tt>Tropchem.eqn </tt> and <tt> gckpp.kpp</tt> files over instead:
+
 
+
  cd KPP/Custom/
+
  cp ../Tropchem/Tropchem.eqn Custom.eqn
+
  cp ../Tropchem/gckpp.kpp gckpp.kpp
+
 
+
#Edit the <tt>Custom.eqn</tt> to add or modify species and reactions for your mechanism. If you are adding a heterogeneous reaction or photolysis reaction, those require additional modifications to other files. See [[FlexChem#Adding_a_reaction_to_the_mechanism|the ''Adding a reaction to the mechanism section'' below]].
+
#Modify the <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> file if needed. This file defines the KPP integrator and tells KPP to use the specified <tt>.eqn</tt> file to build the mechanism. This file also defines the prod/loss families as [[FlexChem#Production_.26_loss_diagnostic|described below]].
+
#Rebuild the mechanism with KPP by typing <tt>./build_mechanism.sh</tt>. The <tt>build_mechanism.sh</tt> script will call on KPP to build the necessary <tt>gckpp_*.F90</tt> files.
+
#Compile GEOS-Chem for the new mechanism by including <tt>CHEM=Custom</tt> in your make command. NOTE: If your custom mechanism is a UCX-based mechanism then you should also include <tt>NO_REDUCED=y</tt> in your make command.

==== In GEOS-Chem v11-01 ====
+
 
+
[[GEOS-Chem v11-01#v11-01g|GEOS-Chem v11-01g]] has five pre-built chemical mechanisms: Standard, Tropchem, SOA, SOA-SVPOA, and UCX. These mechanisms are described on our [[GEOS-Chem_chemistry_mechanisms#Mechanisms_in_GEOS-Chem_v10-01_and_later_versions|''GEOS-Chem chemistry mechanisms'' wiki page]].
+
 
+
GEOS-Chem will eventually include the option to create a custom chemistry mechanism and automatically build that mechanism with KPP when GEOS-Chem is compiled. For now, users still need to build custom chemistry mechanisms manually. The [[#KPP source code|KPP Git repository]] includes the following files:
+
 
+
  geos2kpp_parser.pl
+
  gckpp.kpp
+
  rename_f90.sh
+
  copy_gckpp.sh
+
 
+
Note: You'll need to checkout the <tt>GC_updates</tt> branch in the KPP repository to access these files. This can be achieved with <code>git checkout GC_updates</code>.
+
 
+
These files can be used to build a custom chemistry mechanisms with KPP. Follow these steps:
+
 
+
#The <tt>geos2kpp_parser.pl</tt> script can be used to create <tt>globchem.eqn</tt>, <tt>globchem.spc</tt>, and <tt>globchem.def</tt> files from a <tt>globchem.dat</tt> file. You may also choose to start from the preexisting <tt>globchem.eqn</tt>, <tt>globchem.spc</tt>, and <tt>globchem.def</tt> files found in the <tt>KPP</tt> subdirectories of the GEOS-Chem source code (e.g. <tt>Code.v11-01/KPP/Standard/</tt>).
+
#If needed, edit <tt>globchem.eqn</tt> to add or modify reactions for your mechanism (see below) and edit <tt>globchem.spc</tt> to add/modify species to your mechanism. Put the final <tt>globchem.*</tt> files in the same directory as the <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> file.
+
#Modify the <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> file if needed. This file defines the KPP integrator and tells KPP to use the <tt>globchem.spc</tt> and <tt>globchem.eqn</tt> files to build the mechanism. This file also defines the prod/loss families as [[FlexChem#Production_.26_loss_diagnostic|described below]].<br><span style="color:red">IMPORTANT: The default <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> file that is included with KPP does not define any prod/loss families. Therefore, you must make sure the ND65 prod/loss diagnostic is turned off in <tt>input.geos</tt> when you run GEOS-Chem. If you would like to use prod/loss families in your custom mechanism, you can see the <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> files in the <tt>KPP</tt> subdirectories of the GEOS-Chem source code (e.g. <tt>Code.v11-01/KPP/Standard/gckpp.kpp</tt>) for examples.</span>

=== Adding a reaction to the mechanism ===
+
 
+
No matter what reaction is being added, the general procedure is the same. A new line must be added to <tt>.eqn</tt> of the following form:
+
 
+
{700} A + B = C + 2.000D : REQN(ARG_A,ARG_B);
+
 
+
The first number (700) is a KPP tag. The specific value has no effect on the reaction, but this should uniquely identify the reaction. The second section denotes the reactants (A and B) as well as the products (C and D) of the reaction. If exactly one molecule is consumed or produced, then the factor can be omitted; otherwise the number of molecules consumed or produced should be specified with at least 1 decimal place of accuracy. The final section, between the colon and semi-colon, specifies the function and arguments which will be used to calculate the reaction rate constant k. For a two-body reaction, the overall rate at which the reaction proceeds will be calculated as k[A][B].
+
 
+
'''Two-body reactions'''
+
 
+
In the case of two-body reactions proceeding according to the Arrhenius equation, calculation of k is straightforwardly implemented by calling the GCARR function. For example, the most recent JPL chemical data evaluation (as of February 2017) specifies that the reaction O3 + NO produces NO2 and O2, and its Arrhenius parameters are A = 3.0x10^-12 and E/R = 1500. The entry for this reaction therefore reads as follows (noting the different sign convention used for E/R)
+
 
+
{1} O3 + NO = NO2 + O2 : GCARR(3.00E-12,0,-1500);
+
 
+
The exact implementation of the Arrhenius rate calculation can be found in <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt>, as can other rate functions such as that required for three-body, pressure-dependent reactions. Any rate function which is to be referenced in the <tt>.eqn</tt> file must be available in <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> prior to building the reaction mechanism.
+
 
+
'''Photolysis reactions'''
+
 
+
Similarly, a photolysis reaction can be specified by giving the correct index of the <tt>PHOTOL</tt> array. This index can be determined by inspecting the file [[FAST-JX_v7.0_photolysis_mechanism#FJX_j2j.dat|<tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt>]] in your run directory. For example, one branch of the NO3 photolysis reaction is specified in the <tt>.eqn</tt> file as
+
 
+
{522} NO3 + hv = NO2 + O : PHOTOL(<span style="color:red">12</span>)
+
 
+
Referring back to <tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt> shows that reaction 12, as specified by the left-most index, is indeed NO3 = NO2 + O:
+
 
+
  <span style="color:red">12</span> NO3      PHOTON    NO2      O                      0.886 /NO3  /
+
 
+
If your reaction is not already in <tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt>, you may add it there. You may also need to modify <tt>FJX_spec.dat</tt> (also found in your run directory) to include cross-sections for your species (see below). Note that if you add new reactions to <tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt> you will also need to set the parameter <tt>JVN_</tt> in module <tt>Headers/CMN_FJX_MOD.F</tt> to match the total number of entries.
+
 
+
Finally, you will need to update routine <tt>PHOTO_JX</tt> found in <tt>fast_jx_mod.F</tt> to archive the J-values for your new reaction to the ND22 diagnostic. The J-values are obtained from array <tt>ZPJ</tt> which uses the same index found in the <tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt> file. For example:
+
 
+
      !---------------------------------------------------------------
+
      ! Archive J-values for ND22 diagnostic
+
      !---------------------------------------------------------------
+
      IF ( ND22 > 0 ) THEN
+
+
        ! Save J-values for 2PM diagnostic boxes
+
        IF ( LTJV(ILON,ILAT) > 0 ) THEN
+
+
            DO L = 1, LD22
+
              ! AD22 IDs 5, 6, and 15 (J-values for O3 and O2)
+
              ! are handled in routine PHOTRATE_ADJ
+
              ! Hardcode ZPJ indices based on valued from FJX_j2j.dat
+
              ! for now (mps, 3/15/16)
+
              AD22(ILON,ILAT,L, 1) = AD22(ILON,ILAT,L, 1) +  ! JNO2
+
    &                                ZPJ(L,<span style="color:red">11</span>,ILON,ILAT)
+
              ...
+
 
+
Index 11 used for obtaining JNO2 corresponds to the index found <tt>FJX_j2j_mod.F90</tt>:
+
 
+
  <span style="color:red">11</span> NO2      PHOTON    NO        O                      1.000 /NO2  /
+
 
+
Note that if you have added new reactions to <tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt> you will also need to increase the parameter <tt>PD22</tt> in module <tt>Headers/CMN_DIAG_MOD.F</tt> to match the total number of entries and add the appropriate names for the ND22 diagnostic in module <tt>GeosCore/gamap_mod.F</tt>.
+
 
+
If your reaction involves new cross section data, you will need to follow an additional set of steps. Specifically, you will need to 1) estimate the cross section of each wavelength bin (using the correlated-k method), and 2) add this data to the <tt>FJX_spec.dat</tt> file. For the first step, you can use tools already available on the Prather research group website. To generate the cross-sections used by Fast-JX, download the file "UCI_fastJ_addX_73cx.zip" from: [ftp://128.200.14.8/public/prather/Fast-J_&_Cloud-J/]. You can then simply add your data to <tt>FJX_spec.dat</tt> and refer to it in <tt>FJX_j2j.dat</tt> as specified above. The following then describes how to generate a new set of cross-section data for the example of some new species MEKR:
+
 
+
To generate the photolysis cross sections of a new species, come up with some unique name which you will use to refer to it in the FJX <tt>j2j</tt> and <tt>spec</tt> files - e.g. MEKR. You will need to copy one of the addX_*.f routines and make your own (say, addX_MEKR.f). Your edited version will need to read in whatever cross section data you have available, and you'll need to decide how to handle out-of-range information - this is particularly crucial if your cross section data is not defined in the visible wavelengths, as there have been some nasty problems in the past caused by implicitly assuming that the XS can be extrapolated (I would recommend buffering your data with zero values at the exact limits of your data as a conservative first guess). Then you need to compile that as a standalone code and run it; this will spit out a file fragment containing the aggregated 18-bin cross sections, based on a combination of your measured/calculated XS data and the non-contiguous bin subranges used by Fast-JX. Once that data has been generated, just add it to <tt>FJX_spec.dat</tt> and refer to it as above. There are examples in the addX files of how to deal with variations of cross section with temperature or pressure, but the main takeaway is that you will generate multiple cross section entries to be added to <tt>FJX_spec.dat</tt> with the same name.
+
 
+
An important complication: if your cross section data varies as a function of temperature AND pressure, you need to do something a little different. The acetone XS documentation shows one possible way to handle this; Fast-JX currently interpolates over either T or P, but not both, so if your data varies over both simultaneously then this will take some thought. The general idea seems to be that one determines which dependence is more important and uses that to generate a set of 3 cross sections (for interpolation), assuming values for the unused variable based on the standard atmosphere.
+
 
+
 
+
'''Heterogeneous reactions'''
+
 
+
Implementing new heterogeneous chemistry requires an additional step. For the reaction in question, a reaction should be added as usual, but this time the rate function should be given as an entry in the <tt>HET</tt> array. A simple example is uptake of HO2, specified as
+
 
+
{285} HO2 = O2 : HET(ind_HO2,1);
+
 
+
Note that the product in this case, O2, is actually a fixed species, so no O2 will actually be produced. O2 is used in this case only as a dummy product to satisfy the KPP requirement that all reactions have at least one product.  Here, <tt>HET</tt> is simply an array of pre-calculated rate constants. The rate constants in <tt>HET</tt> are actually calculated in <tt>gckpp_HetRates.F90</tt>. To implement an additional heterogeneous reaction, the rate calculation must be added to this file. The following example illustrates a (fictional) heterogeneous mechanism which converts the species XYZ into CH2O. This reaction is assumed to take place on the surface of all aerosols, but not cloud droplets (this requires additional steps not shown here). Three steps would be required:
+
 
+
* Add a new line to the <tt>.eqn</tt> file, such as <tt>{900} XYZ = CH2O : HET(ind_XYZ,1);</tt>
+
* Add a new function to <tt>gckpp_HetRates.F90</tt> designed to calculate the heterogeneous reaction rate. As a simple example, we can copy the function <tt>HETNO3</tt> and rename it <tt>HETXYZ</tt>. This function accepts two arguments: molecular mass of the impinging gas-phase species, in this case XYZ, and the reaction's "sticking coefficient" - the probability that an incoming molecule will stick to the surface and undergo the reaction in question. In the case of <tt>HETNO3</tt>, it is assumed that all aerosols will have the same sticking coefficient, and the function returns a first-order rate constant based on the total available aerosol surface area and the frequency of collisions.
+
* Add a new line to the function <tt>SET_HET</tt> in <tt>gckpp_HetRates.F90</tt> which calls the new function with the appropriate arguments and passes the calculated constant to <tt>HET</tt>. Example: assuming a molar mass of 93 g/mol, and a sticking coefficient of 0.2, we would write <tt>HET(ind_XYZ,  1) = HETXYZ(9.30E1_fp, 2E-1_fp)</tt>
+
 
+
The function <tt>HETXYZ</tt> can then be specialized to distinguish between aerosol types, or extended to provide a second-order reaction rate, or whatever the user desires.

== Chemical species in FlexChem ==
+
 
+
A complete list of chemical species included in the pre-built (Standard, Tropchem, SOA, SOA-SVPOA, UCX) mechanisms can be viewed on our [[Species in GEOS-Chem]] wiki page.
+
 
+
=== Adding a chemical species ===
+
 
+
Adding chemical species to FlexChem can be achieved be following these simple steps:
+
 
+
#Add the species name(s) to the <tt>.spc</tt> file under the <tt>#DEFVAR</tt> or <tt>#DEFFIX</tt> section.
+
#Add or modify any reactions in the <tt>.eqn</tt> file under the <tt>#EQUATIONS</tt> section.
+
#Build the chemical mechanism with KPP by following [[#Building a custom chemical mechanism|the steps outlined above]].
+
 
+
NOTE: If a species is defined by KPP, it will automatically be added to the species database with the default settings for non-advected chemical species when GEOS-Chem runs. However, we recommend also adding your species to the species database by following [[GEOS-Chem_species_database#Adding_new_species_to_the_GEOS-Chem_species_database|these instructions]]. Including a species in the species database is required if the new species is to be defined as an advected species in <tt>input.geos</tt>.

=== Removal of family tracers ===
+
 
+
In [[GEOS-Chem v9-02]] we removed all family tracers from GEOS-Chem.  For example, the NOx family was replaced by individual tracers NO, O3, NO3, and HNO2.  Similarly, the Ox family was replaced by individual tracers O3, NO2, and NO3.
+
 
+
But certain updates that were made to GEOS-Chem after v9-02 introduced new family tracers into the various chemistry mechanisms:
+
 
+
* The [[Caltech isoprene scheme]] added the ISOPN and MVKN families
+
* The [[UCX chemistry mechanism]] added the CFCX and HCFCX families
+
 
+
The implementation of the FlexChem chemical solver package in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01]] forced us to remove these family tracers, because the KPP chemical solver is designed to only include individual species in its mechanism.  Removing these families also allows us to avoid some cumbersome sections of code that were used to construct each family from its constituent members.
+
 
+
Therefore, the following families have been removed from [[GEOS-Chem v11-01#v11-01g|GEOS-Chem v11-01g]], and replaced with individual species:
+
 
+

The constituents of each former family are now included as advected species in the various GEOS-Chem mechanisms.  To obtain diagnostic output for the former families, you can save out each of the individual species and combine the output in post-processing.

+
=== Tagging reactions ===
+
 
+
Reactions may be manually tagged so that reaction rates can be saved out to the prod/loss diagnostic. To do this, follow these steps:
+
 
+
1. Create dummy species in <tt>#DEFVAR</tt> section in the <tt>.eqn</tt> file
+
 
+
  #DEFVAR
+
 
+
  A3O2      = IGNORE; {CH3CH2CH2OO; Primary RO2 from C3H8}
+
  ACET      = IGNORE; {CH3C(O)CH3; Acetone}
+
  ACTA      = IGNORE; {CH3C(O)OH; Acetic acid}
+
  ...
+
  <span style="color:green">RXN1      = IGNORE; {Dummy species to tag reaction}</span>
+
 
+
2. Add the dummy species as a product in desired reaction
+
 
+
  #EQUATIONS
+
  //
+
  // Gas-phase reactions
+
  //
+
  O3 + NO = NO2 + O2 <span style="color:green">+ RXN1</span>:                        GCARR(3.00E-12, 0.0E+00, -1500.0);
+
 
+
3. Add the dummy species to the <tt>#FAMILIES</tt> section in <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt>
+
 
+
  #FAMILIES
+
  POx : O3 + NO2 + 2NO3 + PAN + NPMN + PPN + HNO4 + 3N2O5 + ...;
+
  LOx : O3 + NO2 + 2NO3 + PAN + NPMN + PPN + HNO4 + 3N2O5 + ...;
+
  PCO : CO;
+
  LCO : CO;
+
  PSO4 : SO4
+
  <span style="color:green">PRXN1 : RXN1;</span>
+
 
+
4. Rebuild the mechanism with KPP. Each mechanism subdirectory (e.g. <tt>Code.v11-02/KPP/Standard/</tt>) in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02]] includes a <tt>build_mechanism.sh</tt> script that will call KPP and create the <tt>gckpp*.F90</tt> files. To build the mechanism, type <tt>./build_mechanism.sh</tt>.
+
 
+
5. Recompile and run GEOS-Chem, making sure you [[FlexChem#Saving_out_production_.26_loss_rates|turn on the prod/loss diagnostics]].

=== How it works ===
+
 
+
==== In GEOS-Chem v11-02 and later versions ====
+
 
+
<span style="color:green">'''''This update was included in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02a|v11-02a]] and approved on 12 May 2017.'''''</span>
+
 
+
In [[GEOS-Chem v11-02]], KPP has been updated to greatly simplify how the prod/loss rates are computed. In v11-02a, the chemical mechanisms were rebuilt with KPP at commit <tt>Fix to add coefficients to *_Monitor.F90 - MSL.</tt>.  In the updated KPP, prod/loss families now produce one dummy species that is now named with the family name in the <tt>SPC_NAMES</tt> array. For example, POx is now computed using KPP species <tt>POx</tt> in the variable species array <tt>VAR</tt> instead of using several <tt>RR*</tt> species. This greatly reduces the number of dummy species down to the number of prod/loss families that are defined in the input file <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt>. KPP will tag a reaction with the prod/loss family name by processing all reactions to determine if they are net production or net loss for that family.
+
   
+
GEOS-Chem can  now obtain the prod/loss rates directly from the <tt>VAR</tt> array in KPP. The following updates were made to routine <tt>Do_FlexChem</tt> in <tt>GeosCore/flexchem_mod.F90</tt> in v11-02a to properly use the updated KPP prod/loss rates. Text <span style="color:green">green</span> (<span style="color:red">red</span>) indicates code that was added (removed).

==== In GEOS-Chem v11-01 ====
+
 
+
<span style="color:darkorange">'''''NOTE: The way that KPP computes production and loss families was greatly simplified in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02a|GEOS-Chem v11-02a]]. See the [[#In GEOS-Chem v11-02 and later versions|post above]] for more information.'''''</span>
+
 
+
The number of prod/loss families is defined by <tt>NFAM</tt> in <tt>gckpp_Parameters.F90</tt>. KPP automatically sets this number according to the number of families listed in the <tt>gckpp.kpp</tt> file used to build the mechanism. The prod/loss family names are defined in array <tt>FAM_NAMES</tt> in <tt>gckpp_Monitor.F90</tt>. For example, for the default prod/loss families listed above we have:
+
 
+
  CHARACTER(LEN=15), PARAMETER, DIMENSION(5) :: FAM_NAMES = (/ &
+
      'POx            ','LOx            ','PCO            ', & ! index 1 - 3
+
      'LCO            ','PSO4          ' /)
+
 
+
KPP computes the prod/loss families in routine <tt>ComputeFamilies</tt> (found in <tt>gckpp_Util.F90</tt>). The <tt>FAM</tt> array in that routine contains the accumulated prod/loss rates for that family. For example, the POx family (family 1) is computed as:
+
 
+
  FAM(1) = V(13)+V(14)+V(15)+V(16)+V(17)+V(18)+V(19)+V(20)+V(21)+2*V(22)+...
+
 
+
The <tt>V</tt> array here corresponds to KPP's <tt>VAR</tt> array containing species concentrations in molec/cm3. The indices passed to <tt>V</tt> indicate which reaction rates are used to compute the prod/loss rate for that family. Here are the steps you can take to validate the reactions used for a given family:
+
 
+
#Select any index number for array V used in the computation
+
#Find the index number in SPC_NAMES (defined in <tt>gckpp_Monitor.F90</tt>)
+
#Find the dummy RR species in <tt>EQN_NAMES</tt> (defined in <tt>gckpp_Monitor.F90</tt>)
+
#Make sure the reaction identified in the previous step includes a family member as a product (for prod families) or a reactant (for loss families)
+
 
+
Following these steps for the POx family example, we have:
+
 
+
#Select <tt>V(13)</tt>
+
#Index 13 corresponds to <tt>RR10</tt> in <tt>SPC_NAMES</tt>
+
#<tt>RR10</tt> is found in <tt>HO2 + NO --> RR10 + NO2 + OH</tt> in <tt>EQN_NAMES</tt>
+
#NO2 is a member of the POx family and is a product in the above reaction &#10004;

=== Saving out production & loss rates ===
+
 
+
==== Binary punch format ====
+
 
+
The prod/loss rates from KPP are saved out in GEOS-Chem via the [[GEOS-Chem_input_files#Prod_and_Loss_Menu|ND65 diagnostic]]. To activate this diagnostic, set the option for ND65 (stored in <tt>Input_Opt%DO_SAVE_PL</tt>) to <tt>T</tt> in the input.geos file:
+
 
+
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
  %%% PROD & LOSS MENU %%%:
+
  Turn on P/L (ND65) diag?: '''T'''
+
  # of levels for ND65    : 72
+
  Save O3 P/L (ND20)?    : F
+
  ------------------------+------------------------------------------------------
+
 
+
When <tt>Input_Opt%DO_SAVE_PL</tt> is true, FlexChem will call KPP routine <tt>ComputeFamilies</tt> (found in <tt>gckpp_Util.F90</tt>) to obtain the prod/loss rates stored in array <tt>FAM</tt>. The ND65 diagnostic is set up to automatically save out <tt>NFAM</tt> families to the output file and obtain the family names from <tt>FAM_NAMES</tt>, so no code modifications are required when adding prod/loss families to the chemical mechanism.

+
[[GEOS-Chem v11-02]] introduces the option to save GEOS-Chem diagnostics to netCDF format by compiling with <tt>NC_DIAG=y</tt>. To save out the prod/loss diagnostics to netCDF format, you can add the following field names to your defined collection(s) in <tt>HISTORY.rc</tt>:

  'Prod_?PRD?',                  'GIGCchem', 
+
  'Loss_?LOS?',                  'GIGCchem',

where <tt>?PRD?</tt> and <tt>?LOS?</tt> are wildcards that will be placed with all production and loss species as defined in GEOS-Chem. '''''NOTE: GCHP doesn't accept wildcards at this time, so each prod/loss species will need to be listed separately.'''''

+
 
+
  make -j4 MET=geosfp GRID=4x5 CHEM=Custom
+
 
+
:I noticed that during the compile, the KPP files being compiled are in the <tt>Standard</tt> KPP directory. So it looks like the <tt>CHEM=Custom</tt> option is not directing the compiler to the right place.
+
 
+
:I solved the problem by adding the following to <tt>Makefile_header.mk</tt> in the Code directory:
+
   
+
  # %%%%% Test if Custom %%%%%
+
  REGEXP              :=(^[Cc][Uu][Ss][Tt][Oo][Mm])
+
  ifeq ($(shell <nowiki>[[ "$(CHEM)" =~ $(REGEXP) ]]</nowiki> && echo true),true)
+
      KPP_CHEM          :=Custom
+
      IS_CHEM_SET        :=1
+
  endif

=== Remove calls to UPDATE_SUN, UPDATE_RCONST from gckpp_Integrator.F90 ===

A slow down in GEOS-Chem run time was observed following the implementation of FlexChem in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01|v11-01]]. To resolve this, a temporary workaround was implemented. This fix may be replaced with a more permanent solution in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01#v11-01 public release|GEOS-Chem v11-01 public release]].

<blockquote>KPP automatically places calls to <tt>UPDATE_SUN</tt> and <tt>UPDATE_RCONST</tt> in the routines <tt>FunTemplate</tt> and <tt>JacTemplate</tt> (both in the <tt>gckpp_Integrator.F90</tt> module).  This assumes that you are not interfacing KPP into any other model, and that you will use KPP to compute the sun angles at each timestep.
+
   
+
We now call <tt>UPDATE_RCONST</tt> once per grid box before calling the KPP integrator.  Also, because we use FAST-JX to get the photo rates, we no longer need to call <tt>UPDATE_SUN</tt>.  These duplicate calls were causing a performance bottleneck, as <tt>UPDATE_RCONST</tt> was being called more than 7 million times per day.
+
   
+
We have removed the duplicate calls from the <tt>gckpp_Integrator.F90</tt> modules in each of the chemistry mechanisms.  But we will also need to make sure that when building KPP fresh from an equation file, that this step gets automatically added to the build sequence.</blockquote>

=== Incorrect species units used in routines UCX_NOX and UCX_H2SO4PHOT ===
+

<span style="color:green">'''''This update was validated with the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem v11-01 benchmark history#v11-01j|v11-01j]] and approved on 03 Dec 2016'''''</span>

[[User:Sebastian_D._Eastham|Seb Eastham]] reported an error in <tt>FlexChem_mod.F90</tt> routine <tt>DO_FLEXCHEM</tt>, where UCX routines <tt>UCX_NOX</tt> and <tt>UCX_H2SO4PHOT</tt> are called when species concentrations are in the wrong units. Both routines expect species concentrations in units of kg but species are not converted from molec/cm3 to kg until after the calls.

The consequences of this error can actually be seen in the v11-01g benchmark zonal mean concentrations. N2O should be uniform in the trop and then lost in the strat, but if you check out the color bar you’ll see that there is a very difficult-to-see (but huge!) maximum in the mesosphere. This is why the concentration in the trop, which should be the maximum, is so low on the color scale.

</blockquote>
+
 
+
To correct this issue, the UCX routines are now called after the species unit conversion to kg.
