Quantities zeroed at startup
The existing GEOS-Chem soil NOx emissions code zeroes several quantities at startup, among which are the soil pulsing factors. These are the multiplicative factors which compute the sudden increase (or "pulse") of NOx from soils after precipitation falls on dry soil. There are factors for 3 pulsing types in the code: after 5 days, after 10 days, and after 15 days. These are stored in the SOILPULS array, along with a flag to denote dry or wet soil.
Here is an illustration of the problem. The soil pulsing and resultant quantities for a run that started on Feb 1, 2000 are printed out below.

Note that all of the soil pulsing factors are zero because this is the very first timestep of the run. However, if we compare this to a run which started on Jan 1, 2000:
---> DATE: 2000/02/01 GMT: 00:00 X-HRS: 744.000 ###---------------------------------------------------- ### I, J : 69 51 ### SOILPULS 1 : 1.00000000000000 ! dry/wet soil flag ### SOILPULS 2 : 2.843218125816628E-003 ! 5-day pulsing factor ### SOILPULS 3 : 2.189570703768949E-002 ! 10-day pulsing factor ### SOILPULS 4 : 4.879111537477707E-002 ! 15-day pulsing factor ### PULSE : 1.89150985108935 !

we see that the soil pulsing factors have already been initialized to non-zero values from the January spinup. This leads to different soil NOx emissions than in the run which started on Feb 1, 2000. This is an inherent flaw in the design of the original soil NOx code, which was taken from the old Harvard-GISS CTM.
Rynda Hudman is currently working on updating the soil NOx algorithm. The pulsing information (as well as other quantities) will be stored in a soil NOx restart file. This will eliminate the problem.
