== Instructions for adding tracers to GEOS-Chem ==
  
Welcome to the January 2013 Newsletter of the NASA Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (AQAST). AQAST is a team of atmospheric scientists serving air quality management needs through creative use of Earth Science data and tools. We conduct a wide range of projects in partnership with air quality agencies at the local, state, regional, and national levels.

AQAST has great success stories to tell, but how do we tell them best? We have taken recent actions to improve communications outside the Team:
 
  
=== Tracey Holloway appointed deputy leader ===
 
  
AQAST member [http://www.sage.wisc.edu/people/holloway/holloway.html Tracey Holloway] was appointed deputy leader in December 2012. She assumes specific responsibility for external relations with the public, air quality agencies, and NASA. Tracey has had training in public outreach and engagement as a 2011 Stanford University Leopold Leadership Fellow, media training at the University of Wisconsin--Madison, and outreach experience in her role as research center director at the University of Wisconsin--Madison. Air quality managers are encouraged to contact Tracey if there are stories, data, or images that would be helpful.

– A Joined Collaboration between NCAR, CDPHE, and Emory University ([http://acd.ucar.edu/~pfister/ Gabriele Pfister] and [http://acd.ucar.edu/~edwards/ David Edwards])
+
 
+
Colorado experienced one of its most costly and highest impact fire seasons in June 2012. Much of the State was blanketed in smoke because of large events that included the High Park fire near Ft. Collins and the Waldo Canyon fire near Colorado Springs. Fire plumes transported from wildfires in Wyoming and New Mexico further impacted the Colorado Front Range. NCAR, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and Emory University are working together to examine the impact that these fires had on local air quality and human health. This will be achieved through an integrated analysis of surface and satellite observations, WRF-Chem modeling including assimilation of meteorological observations, and health data. This work will provide a baseline for evaluating methods to be used for exceedance demonstrations and for establishing predictive tools to support agencies in issuing health advisors during wildfire events. Christine Wiedinmyer (NCAR), supporting the work by providing fire emission estimates, recently discussed this project as well as other aspects of air pollution from wildfires on Colorado Public Radio:

The new MODIS Level 3 aerosol product from AQAST member [mailto:Edward.Hyer@nrlmry.navy.mil Edward Hyer] has now been transitioned to [http://lance-modis.eosdis.nasa.gov/ NASA LANCE]. [https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about-eosdis/news/nrt-value-added-modis-aerosol-optical-depth-product-available Click here for press release]. Satellite detection of aerosols, or particles in the atmosphere, provides one of the most useful remote sensing products for air quality analysis. This new MODIS product supports a wide range of applications for air quality management. It provides global, gridded aerosol optical depth (AOD) at a resolution of 1/2-degree latitude-longitude in near-real time, for immediate access. In addition to reducing error in the AOD retrievals, the product includes quantitative uncertainty estimates at each data point.

Instructions for adding tracers to GEOS-Chem

By Melissa Payer

These instructions describe how to add advected tracers to GEOS-Chem. Advected tracers are carried in the STT array (which is declared in GeosCore/tracer_mod.F), and are transported by the winds.

NOTE: Some advected tracers are also chemical species, which comprise GEOS-Chem's NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol chemistry mechanism.

  1. Add tracers to input.geos under Tracer Menu

    1. Increase “Number of tracers” accordingly

    2. Add tracer number, name, molecular weight, and emitted species to end of tracer list

  2. Add tracer(s) to restart file – see separate instructions

  3. Modify the following source code routines:

    1. Headers/CMN_SIZE_mod.F

      1. Increase NNPAR by number of tracers being added

      2. If the species have anthropogenic emissions, increase NEMPARA accordingly

      3. If the species have biogenic emissions, increase NEMPARB accordingly

      4. If the species have biomass burning emissions, increase NBIOMAX accordingly

    2. GeosCore/tracerid_mod.F

      1. Increase NNNTRID by the number of tracers being added NOTE: NNNTRID must be equal to NNPAR in CMN_SIZE_mod.F

      2. Define tracer IDs as needed:

        1. IDxxxx – ID for SMVGEAR species

        2. IDTxxxx – GEOS-Chem tracer ID

        3. IDExxxx – GEOS-Chem emission ID

        4. IDBFxxxx – GEOS-Chem biofuel ID

        5. IDBxxxx – GEOS-Chem biomass ID

      3. In subroutine TRACERID,

        1. Under “Assign tracer, biomass, biofuel, and anthro emission ID’s,” add case for added tracers to initialize IDTxxxx, IDBFxxxx, IDBxxxx

        2. Under “Initialize the IDExxx flags,” add IF statement for added tracer IDs and initialize IDExxxx

        3. Under “Fill IDEMS with appropriate tracer ID #’s,” add IF statement for added tracers

        4. Under “Print additional information,” add WRITE statements for added tracers

      4. In subroutine SETTRACE (NOTE: Only do the following if species is included in SMVGEAR chemical mechanism<p>

        1. <p>Add IF statement, to initialize IDxxxx

        2. In subroutine INIT_TRACERID,

        3. Zero all IDs added (IDxxxx, IDTxxxx, IDExxxx, etc.)

    3. Other modules that may need to be updated include:

      1. wetscav_mod.F

      2. drydep_mod.F

      3. emissions_mod.F

      4. biomass_mod.F

      5. biofuel_mod.F

        etc.


Instructions for adding species to GEOS-Chem

Modify run directory files

1) Add tracers to input.geos under Tracer Menu c) Increase “Number of tracers” accordingly d) Add tracer number, name, molecular weight, and emitted species to end of tracer list

2) Add tracer(s) to restart file – see separate instructions

3) Modify globchem.dat to include additional species, kinetic reactions (including emissions and drydep), or photolysis reactions NOTE: If you modify globchem.dat and plan to run GEOS-Chem using the KPP chemical solver, you will need to generate new gckpp*.F90 files.
