This page documents the monoterpene nitrate mechanism used in Fisher et al., 2016 (under review in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics). This is an experimental mechanism that has not yet been included in the standard GEOS-Chem simulation.

Basis of the Implementation

This chemistry is largely based on the scheme developed by Browne et al. (2014) for use in WRF-Chem, which was built on the RACM2 scheme developed by Goliff et al. (2013).
