<sup>1</sup>The benchmark simulation is used for [[GEOS-Chem_benchmarking|1-month and 1-year benchmarks]]. It uses the Standard chemistry mechanism, but includes both the [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#Simple_SOA_scheme|simple SOA]] and [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#Complex_SOA_scheme|complex SOA]] species.

'''''Tomas Sherwen wrote:'''''

:This update allows for optional photolysis of aerosol nitrate (NIT(s)) yielding HNO2+NO2. '''This set to off as default.''' The photolysis rate is scaled the photolysis rates of HNO3 (JHNO3) as described by Kasibhatla et al (2018). The photolysis rate and product split is set in the input.geos file with the lines as below:
+
−
   
+
−
    Photolyse nitrate aer.? : F
+
−
    => NIT Jscale (JHNO3)  : 0.0
+
−
    => NITs Jscale (JHNO3) : 0.0

−
    => % channel A (HONO)  : 66.667
+
−
    => % channel B (NO2)  : 33.333
+
−
   
+
−
:As the code is off by default no notable changes are expected in the model's output. To reproduce the results of Kasibhatla et al 2018, updates to nitrate partitioning (e.g. from Xuan Wang's chlorine updates) and updates to the heterogeneous uptake and hydrolysis of NO2 need to be included as well.

[[Media:NewChemistry 030917.pdf|'''This document''']] compiled by Katie Travis and Josh Cox describes the updated isoprene and monoterpene chemistry to be included in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02c|GEOS-Chem v11-02c]] (also see the [[#Modifications to the original updates|list of modifications below]]). These updates include the [[monoterpene nitrate scheme]] and [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#SOA_formation_from_aqueous_isoprene_uptake|aqueous isoprene uptake]] and were originally implemented for simulation of the [https://www.nasa.gov/seac4rs/ SEAC4RS] data.

==== Modifications to the original updates ====
+
−
 
+
−
The following modifications were made to the original updates listed in the [[Media:NewChemistry 030917.pdf|above document]] following conversations with the developers. These modifications were included in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02c|v11-02c]].
+
−
 
+
−
(1) Restore H2O2 Henry's law constant for wet deposition. Daniel Jacob wrote:
+
−
:''For wetdep of H2O2 we should restore the old Henry’s law constant of 8.3E4exp[7400(1/T – 1/298)] because as Dylan points out that’s the physical value. For drydep of H2O2 we can keep the value of 5E7 as parameterized by Nguyen to fit his drydep data.''
+
−
 
+
−
(2) HC187 is advected
+
−
 
+
−
(3) The following species have different names from the original document:
+
−
:*API is now MTPA (for consistency with [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#Complex_SOA_scheme|existing SOA scheme]])
+
−
:*APIO2 is now PIO2 (for consistency with [[PAN|PAN updates]] added in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02a|v11-02a]])
+
−
:*LIM is now LIMO (for consistency with [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#Complex_SOA_scheme|existing SOA scheme]])
+
−
:*PMN is now NPMN and IPMN (PMN from non-isoprene and isoprene sources; from [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#SOA_formation_from_aqueous_isoprene_uptake|aqueous isoprene uptake updates]])
+
−
:*ONITAam is now IONITA (Jenny Fisher recommended we change the names - they were originally daytime/nighttime species, but changed to isop/monot)
+
−
:*ONITApm is now MONITA (Jenny Fisher recommended we change the names - they were originally daytime/nighttime species, but changed to isop/monot)

GEOS-Chem was historically developed as a model of tropospheric chemistry and composition.  The above-mentioned [[#Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03 and prior versions|chemistry mechamisms in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]] and [[#Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v9-02 and later versions|in GEOS-Chem v9-02]] only solve the chemical reaction matrix within the troposphere.  In order to prevent tropospheric species from accumulating in the stratosphere and being transported back into the troposphere, we have implemented the following simple stratospheric chemistry schemes:

# [[Linoz stratospheric ozone chemistry]]
+
−
# [[Stratospheric chemistry|Application of monthly-mean prod/loss rates archived from the GMI model]]
+
−
 
+

Linoz only applied to ozone.  The simple linearized stratospheric chemistry, which uses production and loss rates archived from the GMI model, is applied to all other species.  (NOTE: The user has the option to disable Linoz and use the archived GMI prod/loss rates for ozone, but this is typically not done.)

In [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] we added the [[UCX_chemistry_mechanism|'''Unified tropospheric-stratospheric Chemistry eXtension''' (UCX) mechanism]] into GEOS-Chem. UCX was developed by Seb Eastham and Steven Barrett at the [http://lae.mit.edu MIT Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment]. This mechanism combines the existing GEOS-Chem [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol|"NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol" mechanism]] with several new stratospheric species and reactions.

Katie Travis created a diagnostic to correct daytime ozone values from the lowest model layer, ~60m, to 10m.

''C''(''z<sub>C</sub>'') = (1-''R<sub>a</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'',''z<sub>C</sub>'')''v<sub>d</sub>(''z<sub>1</sub>))''C''(''z<sub>1</sub>'')             Eq. 1
+
−
 
+
−
where <tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'',''z<sub>C</sub>'')</tt> is the aerodynamic resistance between <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt> and <tt>''z<sub>C</sub>''</tt>, and <tt>''v<sub>d</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'')</tt> is the ozone deposition velocity at <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt>, and <tt>''C''(''z<sub>1</sub>'')</tt> is the ozone concentration at <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt>.
+
−
 
+
−
<tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'',''z<sub>C</sub>'')</tt> is calculated to the lowest model level in drydep_mod.F. We recalculate <tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''</tt> using <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt> = 10 m, which is the height of the CASTNET measurement for ozone.  The new <tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''</tt> is added to the diagnostic array AD_RA and passed to diag49.F for use in Equation 1.

+

This new diagnostic is called <tt>O3@10m-$</tt>, and can be called with tracer 539 in ND49 in input.geos.

=== Process analysis diagnostics ===

[http://www.barronh.com/ Barron Henderson] has created a [[Process Analysis Diagnostics|software package for process analysis diagnostics]].  He writes:
+
−

<blockquote>Process-based Analysis examines the change in each species due to each process and reaction. Models predict atmospheric state, which in a time-series can be used to create net-change of each species. What this cannot tell us, is which processes led to that change. To supplement state (or concentration), GEOS-Chem has long archived emissions and employed advanced diagnostics to predict gross chemical production or loss. Process Analysis goes a step further archiving grid-cell budgets for each species, and decomposing gross production/loss into individual reaction contributions. Process Analysis extensions are currently available in CAMx, WRF-Chem, CMAQ, and now GEOS-Chem. This allows for direct comparisons of models at a fundamental, process level.</blockquote>
