==== Modifications to the original updates ====
 
The following modifications were made to the original updates listed in the [[Media:NewChemistry 030917.pdf|above document]] following conversations with the developers. These modifications were included in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02c|v11-02c]].
 
(1) Restore H2O2 Henry's law constant for wet deposition. Daniel Jacob wrote:
:''For wetdep of H2O2 we should restore the old Henry’s law constant of 8.3E4exp[7400(1/T – 1/298)] because as Dylan points out that’s the physical value. For drydep of H2O2 we can keep the value of 5E7 as parameterized by Nguyen to fit his drydep data.''
 
(2) HC187 is advected
 
(3) The following species have different names from the original document:
:*API is now MTPA (for consistency with [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#Complex_SOA_scheme|existing SOA scheme]])
:*APIO2 is now PIO2 (for consistency with [[PAN|PAN updates]] added in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02a|v11-02a]])
:*LIM is now LIMO (for consistency with [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#Complex_SOA_scheme|existing SOA scheme]])
:*PMN is now NPMN and IPMN (PMN from non-isoprene and isoprene sources; from [[Secondary_organic_aerosols#SOA_formation_from_aqueous_isoprene_uptake|aqueous isoprene uptake updates]])
:*ONITAam is now IONITA (Jenny Fisher recommended we change the names - they were originally daytime/nighttime species, but changed to isop/monot)
:*ONITApm is now MONITA (Jenny Fisher recommended we change the names - they were originally daytime/nighttime species, but changed to isop/monot)

=== Stratospheric chemistry ===
 
GEOS-Chem was historically developed as a model of tropospheric chemistry and composition.  The above-mentioned [[#Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03 and prior versions|chemistry mechamisms in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]] and [[#Mechanisms in GEOS-Chem v9-02 and later versions|in GEOS-Chem v9-02]] only solve the chemical reaction matrix within the troposphere.  In order to prevent tropospheric species from accumulating in the stratosphere and being transported back into the troposphere, we have implemented the following simple stratospheric chemistry schemes:
 
# [[Linoz stratospheric ozone chemistry]]
# [[Stratospheric chemistry|Application of monthly-mean prod/loss rates archived from the GMI model]]
 
Linoz only applied to ozone.  The simple linearized stratospheric chemistry, which uses production and loss rates archived from the GMI model, is applied to all other species.  (NOTE: The user has the option to disable Linoz and use the archived GMI prod/loss rates for ozone, but this is typically not done.)
 
In [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] we added the [[UCX_chemistry_mechanism|'''Unified tropospheric-stratospheric Chemistry eXtension''' (UCX) mechanism]] into GEOS-Chem. UCX was developed by Seb Eastham and Steven Barrett at the [http://lae.mit.edu MIT Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment]. This mechanism combines the existing GEOS-Chem [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol|"NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol" mechanism]] with several new stratospheric species and reactions.

=== Correcting ozone from the height of the lowest model level to 10m ===
 
<span style="color:darkorange">'''''This update is slated for inclusion in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02e|GEOS-Chem v11-02e]].'''''</span>
 
Katie Travis created a diagnostic to correct daytime ozone values from the lowest model layer, ~60m, to 10m.
 
''C''(''z<sub>C</sub>'') = (1-''R<sub>a</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'',''z<sub>C</sub>'')''v<sub>d</sub>(''z<sub>1</sub>))''C''(''z<sub>1</sub>'')             Eq. 1
 
where <tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'',''z<sub>C</sub>'')</tt> is the aerodynamic resistance between <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt> and <tt>''z<sub>C</sub>''</tt>, and <tt>''v<sub>d</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'')</tt> is the ozone deposition velocity at <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt>, and <tt>''C''(''z<sub>1</sub>'')</tt> is the ozone concentration at <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt>.
 
<tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''(''z<sub>1</sub>'',''z<sub>C</sub>'')</tt> is calculated to the lowest model level in drydep_mod.F. We recalculate <tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''</tt> using <tt>''z<sub>1</sub>''</tt> = 10 m, which is the height of the CASTNET measurement for ozone.  The new <tt>''R<sub>a</sub>''</tt> is added to the diagnostic array AD_RA and passed to diag49.F for use in Equation 1.
 
This new diagnostic is called <tt>O3@10m-$</tt>, and can be called with tracer 539 in ND49 in input.geos.

=== Process analysis diagnostics ===
 
[mailto:barronh@ufl.edu Barron Henderson] (U. Florida) has created a [[Process Analysis Diagnostics|software package for process analysis diagnostics]].  He writes:
 
<blockquote>Process-based Analysis examines the change in each species due to each process and reaction. Models predict atmospheric state, which in a time-series can be used to create net-change of each species. What this cannot tell us, is which processes led to that change. To supplement state (or concentration), GEOS-Chem has long archived emissions and employed advanced diagnostics to predict gross chemical production or loss. Process Analysis goes a step further archiving grid-cell budgets for each species, and decomposing gross production/loss into individual reaction contributions. Process Analysis extensions are currently available in CAMx, WRF-Chem, CMAQ, and now GEOS-Chem. This allows for direct comparisons of models at a fundamental, process level.</blockquote>

== Issues that have been since rendered obsolete by newer code updates ==
 
Most of the issues described below pertained to the SMVGEAR chemical solver (which was replaced by FlexChem in [[GEOS-Chem v11-01|v11-01]]) and/or the FAST-J photolysis mechanism (which was replaced by FAST-JX in [[GEOS-Chem v10-01|v10-01]]).
 
=== NIT should be converted to molec/cm3 in calcrate.F ===
 
[[Image:Obsolete.jpg]]
 
<span style="color:red">'''''SMVGEAR was removed from [[GEOS-Chem v11-01]] and higher versions.  The code in <tt>calcrate.F</tt> will be replaced by the KPP master equation file.'''''</span>
 
In <tt>calcrate.F</tt>, we have:
 
                    ! Nitrate effect; reduce the gamma on nitrate by a
                    ! factor of 10 (lzh, 10/25/2011)
                    IF ( N == 8 ) THEN
                        TMP1 = State_Chm%Tracers(IX,IY,IZ,IDTSO4) +
    &                        State_Chm%Tracers(IX,IY,IZ,IDTNIT)
                        TMP2 = State_Chm%tracers(IX,IY,IZ,IDTNIT)
                        IF ( TMP1 .GT. 0.0 ) THEN
                          XSTKCF = XSTKCF * ( 1.0e+0_fp - 0.9e+0_fp
    &                            *TMP2/TMP1 )
                        ENDIF
                    ENDIF
 
Here NIT is added to SO4 but NIT is in different units than SO4. This unit difference can be traced to the definition of IDTRMB, which is only nonzero for species that are in the SMVGEAR mechanism. Since NIT is not a SMVGEAR species, IDTRMB = 0 for NIT and it is therefore skipped in the unit conversion from kg --> molec/cm3 in <tt>partition.F</tt>.
 
This issue was discovered during the implementation of [[FlexChem]]. In [[GEOS-Chem v11-01#v11-01g|GEOS-Chem v11-01g]] and later versions, units of NIT are properly accounted for in routine <tt>HETN2O5</tt> (found in <tt>gckpp_HetRates.F90</tt>).

=== near-IR photolysis of HNO4 ===

1. Since FastJX already takes this into account with cross section data at 574nm, we do not need to redo this in <tt>calcrate.f</tt>.  We can therefore comment out this entire IF block:
        !---------------------------------------------------------------------
        ! Prior to 10/27/09:
        ! FastJX has taken near-IR photolysis into account with
        ! cross section at 574nm, so we don't need to add 1e-5 anymore.
        ! According to Jimenez et al., "Quantum yields of OH, HO2 and
        ! NO3 in the UV photolysis of HO2NO2", PCCP, 2005, we also
        ! changed the branch ratio from 0.67(HO2)/0.33(OH) to 0.95/0.05
        ! This will put most weight of near-IR photolysis on HO2 channel.
        ! (jmao, bmy, 10/27/09)
        !
        !!==============================================================
        !! HARDWIRE addition of 1e-5 s-1 photolysis rate to
        !! HNO4 -> HO2+NO2 to account for HNO4 photolysis in near-IR --
        !! see Roehl et al. 'Photodissociation of peroxynitric acid in
        !! the near-IR', 2002. (amf, bmy, 1/7/02)
        !!
        !! Add NCS index to NKHNO4 for SMVGEAR II (gcc, bmy, 4/1/03)
        !!==============================================================
        !IF ( NKHNO4(NCS) > 0 ) THEN
        !
        !  ! Put J(HNO4) in correct spot for SMVGEAR II
        !  PHOTVAL = NKHNO4(NCS) - NRATES(NCS)
        !  NKN    = NKNPHOTRT(PHOTVAL,NCS)
        !
        !  DO KLOOP=1,KTLOOP
        !      RRATE(KLOOP,NKN)=RRATE(KLOOP,NKN) + 1d-5
        !  ENDDO
        !ENDIF
        !---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
2. We need to change the branch ratio of HNO4 photolysis in <tt>ratj.d</tt>.  Change these lines from:
 
13 HNO4      PHOTON    OH        NO3                  0.00E+00  0.00    33.3  HO2NO2
14 HNO4      PHOTON    HO2        NO2                  0.00E+00  0.00    66.7  HO2NO2
 
to:
 
13 HNO4      PHOTON    OH        NO3                  0.00E+00  0.00      5.0  HO2NO2
14 HNO4      PHOTON    HO2        NO2                  0.00E+00  0.00    95.0  HO2NO2
 
This is based on Jimenez et al. (Quantum yields of OH, HO2 and NO3 in the UV photolysis of HO2NO2, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 2005) shows that HO2 yield should be 0.95 and OH yield should be 0.05 for wavelength above 290nm.
 
This way all the near-IR photolysis will have most weight on HO2 channel(Stark et al., Overtone dissociation of peroxynitric acid (HO2NO2): Absorption cross sections and photolysis products, JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A, 2008).
 
This update has now been added to the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/wiki_docs/chemistry/chemistry_updates_v6.pdf chemistry mechanism documentation file].

[mailto:paulot@caltech.edu Fabien Paulot] found a problem in current chemistry scheme.  In [[GEOS-Chem v8-02-01]] and beyond, isoprene nitrates are produced twice: one through channel A and one through 10% loss in channel B. This makes the loss of NOx larger than it should be (18.7% vs. 10%) and also reduces the yield of MVK/MACR/CH2O by about 13%.

:I think there is a relatively serious bug in the standard chemistry.  GLPAN and GLCO3 are set to inactive but their production and loss reactions are active.  As a result they never reach equilibrium and this results in an artificial loss of NOx.
 
:If this is the only cause of the imbalance between sources and sinks of NOx in my simulations, this would account for ~5% of NOy losses.  I don't see that problem in a simulation with a different chemistry that among other changes does not feature those reactions. So hopefully that's it.
 
:To fix the error, I made the following modifications in <tt>globchem.dat</tt>:
 
:#I set GLPAN and GLCO3 rxns from active to dead.  These rxns were causing an artificial loss of NOx.
:#I have physically removed GLCO3, GLP, GLPAN, GPAN, ISNO3, MNO3, O2CH2OH, MVN2 and their associated reactions. 
:#I have made GLYX active.  I'm not sure why it's not active by default.
 
:and to <tt>ratj.d</tt>:
 
:# I deleted photolysis reactions for MNO3 and GLP, since these species have also now been deleted in <tt>globchem.dat</tt>

=== Bug in routine ARSL1K ===
 
<span style="color:green">'''''This update was tested in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-03 benchmark history#v9-01-03m|v9-01-03m]] and approved on 06 Jun 2012.'''''</span>

A bug in routine ARSL1K became problematic in the implementation of Justin Parrella's [[Bromine_chemistry_mechanism|tropospheric bromine chemistry mechanism]] for [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]]. In the bromine chemistry mechanism, a sticking coefficient of 0.0 is passed to the routine ARSL1K for non-sulfate, non-sea salt aerosol. The IF statement modified in [[GEOS-Chem_v8-02-04#Div-by-zero_error_encountered_in_arsl1k.f|GEOS-Chem v8-02-04]] resulted in the reaction rate being set to the default value of 1.0d-3. A 1-month benchmark for July 2005 indicated that the simulated BrO was a little more than twice the expected zonal mean. Modifying the default value from 1.0d-3 to 1.0d-30 resulted in reasonable simulated BrO values.

:I've re-run two 2 month simulation [using [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-02]]]. One with the error handling value of 1e-3 (standard) and one with it being 1e-30. There are 5127 time and space points where the model traps the problem and invokes the 1e-3 or 1e-30 value. There are 30*24*2*37*72*46 (roughly 200 million) time and space points when the error could have occurred so we are looking at a relatively infrequent event. 
 
:The simulations show virtually no difference between the two simulations.
 
:mean and stddev ratio of all grid boxes with and without the fix are shown below
    NOx    0.999996  0.000409291
    Ox      1.00000  1.27233e-05
