O1D reaction updated to JPL 2006

As of GEOS-Chem v8-01-02, the rate constants in the "FAST-J" jv_atms.dat file have been updated from the old values: 

O3_1d  180 9.000E-01 9.000E-01 3.824E-01 8.092E-02 7.650E-02       0.0       0.0

Cloud overlap options in FAST-J

GEOS-Chem now has 3 cloud overlap options in the FAST-J photolysis mechanism:

  1. Linear cloud overlap assumption:
Grid Box Optical depth = In-cloud optical depth * Cloud fraction

This

  1. Approximate random overlap assumption:
           !===========================================================
           ! CLOUD OVERLAP : LINEAR ASSUMPTION 
           ! Directly use OPTDEPTH = TAUCLD * CLDTOT

           ! NOTE: Use this option if you want to compare to results
           !       from GEOS-Chem v7-04-12 and prior versions.
           !===========================================================
           IF ( OVERLAP == 1 ) then

              ! Call FAST-J routines to compute J-values
              CALL PHOTOJ( NLON,  NLAT, YLAT,    DAY_OF_YR,

    &                      SFCA,  OPTD, OPTDUST, OPTAER )

           ! CLOUD OVERLAP : APPROXIMATE RANDOM OVERLAP
           ! Use OPTDEPTH = TAUCLD * CLDTOT**1.5

              WHERE ( CLDF1D < 0d0 ) CLDF1D = 0d0
              
              ! Adjust optical depth
              OPTD = OPTD * SQRT( CLDF1D )
