The following table provides links to information about the available full-chemistry mechanisms in GEOS-Chem.

The NOx-Ox-hydrocarbon-aerosol (aka "full-chemistry") simulations have undergone several updates in recent GEOS-Chem versions. We provide a summary of recent updates made to the various mechanisms.

Starting with v9-02, family tracers (NOx, Ox) have now been removed from all GEOS-Chem mechanisms.  The individual family members (NO, NO2, O3, etc.) are now carried as individual advected tracers and chemical species.  Also, the isoprene mechanism from v9-01-03 now has been folded into the standard mechanism.
