We now prefer to refer to this simulation as the '''"Tagged O3 Simulation"''' instead of the "Tagged Ox Simulation".  This reflects the removal of the Ox tracer from [[GEOS-Chem v9-02]] and higher versions.  Ox has now been replaced by O3.

The budget computation code needs the initial and final mass of O3 in [kg] in order to compute the difference in accumulated mass. The accumulated mass is then compared to the budget computed with all terms (emissions, deposition, chemical, etc) for validation. Although in theory we can get the initial and final masses from the restart file and convert units, it is more straightforward to print the values to a file.

There is an error in the European grid definition within tagged_ox_mod.F in v10-01. Please see the tagged ozone simulation wiki page for details.The longitude definition of ITS_A_EUR is incorrectly defined as greater than -15.0 and greater than or equal to 55.0, and thus has no upper bound. It should instead have an upper bound of 55.0. If running the extended tagged ozone simulation, you should amend the definition to be as follows:
 
 
ITS_IN_EUR = ( Y >=  36.0 .and. ( X >  -15.0 .and. X <=  55.0 ) )

This page contains information about the Tagged O3 simulation in GEOS-Chem (formerly known as the "Tagged Ox" simulation).

Overview

The tagged O3 simulation allows you to use archived ozone production and loss rates to perform a simulation for geographically tagged ozone tracers without having to run the full-chemistry simulation. The tagged O3 simulation is also used to spin up the ozone into steady-state when validating a new meterorolgical field product.

Types of tagged O3 simulations

You may perform two different types of tagged O3 simulations. These simulations differ in the number of tagged O3 tracers that are available:

Simple tagged O3 simulation

The default setting is the SIMPLE TAGGED O3 SIMULATION, which carries 2 tracers:

(1 ) O3      : Total O3
(2 ) O3Strt  : O3 from the Stratosphere

Extended tagged O3 simulation

You may also choose to run the EXTENDED TAGGED O3 SIMULATION, which carries 13 tracers:

(1 ) O3      : Total O3
(2 ) O3Strt  : O3 from the Stratosphere      (tropopause - atm top   )
(3 ) O3Ut    : O3 produced in Upper Trop     (350 hPa    - tropopause) 
(4 ) O3Mt    : O3 produced in Middle Trop    (PBL top    - 350 hPa   )
(5 ) O3Row   : O3 produced in Rest of World  (surface    - PBL top   )
(6 ) O3PcBl  : O3 produced in Pacific BL     (surface    - PBL top   )
(7 ) O3NaBl  : O3 produced in N. American BL (surface    - PBL top   )
(8 ) O3AtBl  : O3 produced in Atlantic BL    (surface    - PBL top   )
(9 ) O3EuBl  : O3 produced in European BL    (surface    - PBL top   )
(10) O3AfBl  : O3 produced in N. African BL  (surface    - PBL top   )
(11) O3AsBl  : O3 produced in Asian          (surface    - PBL top   )
(12) O3Init  : O3 initial conditions         (all levels             )
(13) O3USA   : O3 produced over the USA      (all levels             )

Note that in both the simple and extended simulations, the stratospheric O3 tracer is listed as tracer #2. This is necessary for compatibility with the Linoz stratospheric ozone chemistry mechanism.
