== Previous issues that have now been resolved ==
 
 
The following posts describe issues with the [[#Hudman et al 2012 soil NOx emissions algorithm|Hudman et al 2012 soil NOx emissions algorithm]] that were later fixed.

This error is suspected of producing anomalously high NOx emissions over Greenland in the 1-year benchmark to GEOS-Chem v9-02f.  We will re-run that benchmark with this fix.

:I have discovered [an] error when we run with non-local PBL mixing.... It actually has nothing to do with the non-local mixing itself, but rather is a result of the soil NOx emissions. NIT was being passed as an NaN into <tt>SOIL_DRYDEP</tt> from the <tt>CHEM_NIT</tt> subroutine (in <tt>GeosCore/sulfate_mod.F</tt>), and therefore you get a <tt>NaN</tt> for <tt>DRY_NIT</tt> (in module <tt>GeosCore/get_ndep_mod.F</tt>). This causes the <tt>A_FERT</tt> term to be an NaN in the call to routine <tt>SOILNOX</tt> and it propagates down in the calculation from there.
 
   
 
:Looking at the <tt>CHEM_NIT</tt> subroutine, it looks like this is because I did not have ND44 turned on in my input.geos file.  In the code, [array] <tt>T44</tt> is only initialized and calculated if the diagnostic is turned on, but this is what is passed to <tt>SOIL_DRYDEP</tt>.  My suggestion would be to change the code to allow the calculation of the dry deposition quantities earlier without having to specifically turn on this diagnostic....  I've run tests with the diagnostic on and have not run into any problems since.
 
   
 
We have fixed this as follows:
 
   
 
#<p><tt>GeosCore/sulfate_mod.F</tt>: In routines <tt>CHEM_NH3</tt>, <tt>CHEM_NH4</tt>, <tt>CHEM_NH4aq</tt>, and <tt>CHEM_NIT</tt>, we save drydep fluxes into an array that is defined whether or not you have the ND44 diagnostic turned on.  Then we pass values from that array to <tt>SOIL_DRYDEP</tt>.  Also, we now prevent <tt>SOIL_DRYDEP</tt> and ND44 from being updated if <tt>LNLPBL = .TRUE.</tt>, since in that case those operations will be done in the non-local PBL mixing module (<tt>GeosCore/vdiff_mod.F90</tt>).</p>
 
#<p><tt>GeosCore/drydep_mod.F</tt>: Moved the call to <tt>SOIL_DRYDEP</tt> out of the <tt>!$OMP CRITICAL block</tt>, this is not necessary.</p>
 
#<p><tt>GeosCore/vdiff_mod.F90</tt>: Cosmetic changes and added comments.</p>

This page describes the Hudman et al 2012 soil NOx emissions algorithm, which is being used in GEOS-Chem v9-02 and newer versions.

Overview

Rynda Hudman developed a new soil NOx emissions scheme, based on the work of Neil Moore (formerly of Dalhousie University). This work was published in Hudman et al (2012).

Bram Maasakkers (Eindhoven) further updated the Hudman et al (2012) soil NOx emissions scheme, as follows:

The most important changes in the submitted version are:
  • Minor changes originating from the update from GEOS-Chem v8-02-02 to GEOS-Chem v9-01-03. Furthermore, to allow the parametrization to work with non-local planetary-boundary layer (PBL) mixing, a soil NOx section has been added to the non-local PBL mixing module. This was required to report the deposition of N to the soil NOx module.
  • The Jacob and Bakwin (1991) reduction factor has been implemented, representing the deposition of emitted NOx in the canopy. Implementation leads to a decrease of annual soil NOx emissions from 10.7 to 9.5 Tg N yr-1. The largest impact occurs over the tropical rain-forests in South America and central Africa.
  • To allow the model to work at all resolutions (the provided code only worked at 2x2.5), online regridding has been implemented using new high resolution input files.

Bram Maasakker's updates to the Hudman et al (2012) emissions scheme were implemented into the GEOS-Chem v9-02 public release. The older Yienger and Levy (1995) soil NOx emissions algorithm has since been removed from GEOS-Chem.
