Revision as of 15:21, 10 May 2011

This is a list of planned GEOS-Chem model development items over the next two years, based on discussions and GEOS-Chem Working Group reports from the April 2009 GEOS-Chem Users' Meeting. The key model developer or model contact is identified for each item. Items are listed in rough order of decreasing readiness, although this can quickly change.

We count on user input to augment and prioritize this list, please contact your Working Group Chair or model scientist Daniel Jacob.

Items that have yet to be included in GEOS-Chem

Item Author(s) Status
APM aerosol microphysics Fangqun Yu Incorporated and validated in GEOS-Chem v9-01-02, awaiting release
GFED3 biomass burning Prasad Kasibhatla Incorporated into GEOS-Chem v9-01-02, awaiting release
FAA aircraft emissions inventory Steven Barrett et al Incorporated and validated in GEOS-Chem v9-01-02, awaiting release
Anthropogenic VOCs update Dylan Millet
The RETRO anthropogenic VOC emissions will be included into GEOS-Chem v9-01-02.
Updated soil NOx emissions Randall Martin
Rynda Hudman
Slated for inclusion into GEOS-Chem v9-01-02 or GEOS-Chem v9-01-03
Tropospheric bromine chemistry Justin Parrella Substantially complete but undergoing further validation. Slated for inclusion into GEOS-Chem v9-01-03.
Updated strat chem. from GMI Combo Dylan Jones Slated for inclusion GEOS-Chem v9-01-02 or GEOS-Chem v9-01-03.
Convert model output to NetCDF GEOS-Chem Support Team Lee Murray has mature code for reading netCDF files, which will be installed at the same time as the strat chem from GMI Combo. The code can be extended to write netCDF files, but this will be more time-consuming.
Addition of aromatics to SOA simulation Daven Henze to be added in short order following v8-02-01 release
Archive tropospheric OH fields from benchmark runs GEOS-Chem Support Team  
Flexible region mask for tagged tracers Dylan Jones
Prasad Kasibhatla
