Revision as of 17:06, 16 November 2016

Here we link to pages describing the various versions of the FAST-J and FAST-JX photolysis mechanisms used in GEOS-Chem.

Photolysis mechanisms used in standard GEOS-Chem versions

The following photolysis mechanisms have been implemented in official releases of GEOS-Chem:

FAST-J

The FAST-J photolysis mechanism was used in GEOS-Chem versions prior to GEOS-Chem v10-01.

FAST-J is being currently being replaced by the FAST-JX v7.0 photolysis mechanism, which will ship with the standard GEOS-Chem v10-01 public release (slated for late 2014).

FAST-JX v7.0

The FAST-JX v7.0 photolysis mechanism is the newest version of the FAST-J software. It was incorporated into GEOS-Chem v10-01 by Sebastian Eastham (MIT) and the GEOS-Chem Support Team, along with the UCX stratospheric-tropopsheric chemistry mechanism.

GEOS-Chem v10-01 and higher versions use FAST-JX v7.0 to compute photolysis rates for chemistry.

Photolysis mechanisms used in research versions of GEOS-Chem

The following photolysis mechanisms have been used in non-standard research versions of GEOS-Chem:

FAST-JX v6.2

The FAST-JX v6.2 photolysis mechanism was implemented into several research versions of GEOS-Chem by Jingqiu Mao (Princeton). But this version of FAST-J was never incorporated into the standard GEOS-Chem model.
