=== Tagged CH4 simulation ===
In addition to the standard CH4 simulation, users may also choose to run the tagged CH4 simulation where [[Species_in_GEOS-Chem#CH4|methane species are tagged by emission source]].
== Recent science updates ==
The following updates were recently added into the GEOS-Chem CH4 simulation:
=== Updated CH4 simulation in v11-02 and later ===
<span style="color:green">'''''This update was included in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02f|v11-02f]] (approved 17 May 2018).'''''</span>
Bram Maasakkers and Melissa Sulprizio have updated the CH4 simulation in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02]]. These updates include the following emission updates (brought in via HEMCO):
#[http://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ EDGAR v4.3.2] global anthropogenic emissions
#Gridded US EPA emissions ([http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.est.6b02878 Maasakkers et al. 2016])
#Canada and Mexico oil & gas emissions ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1352231017301164 Sheng et al. 2017])
#Daily [[QFED biomass burning emissions]]
#JPL WetCHARTs emissions ([https://www.geosci-model-dev.net/10/2141/2017/gmd-10-2141-2017.pdf Bloom et al. 2017])
#Global geological seep emissions (Maasakkers et al., in prep)
#Global lake emissions (Maasakkers et al., in prep)
and code updates:
#CH4 loss by Cl (Maasakkers et al., in prep)
#GOSAT and TCCON observation operators (modified from the adjoint code)
The following data files are required for these updates
ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/CH4/v2017-10/  (entire directory)
ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/MASKS/v2014-07/CONUS_Mask.001x001.nc
ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/MASKS/v2014-07/Canada_Mask.Extended_NAgrid.001x001.nc
ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/MASKS/v2014-07/Mexico_Mask.Extended_NAgrid.001x001.nc
A few caveats:
*EDGAR v4.3.2 lumps oil, gas, and coal emissions in the files available on their website. Ideally, we would like to separate these sources, so we are looking into that. In addition, Tia Scarpelli at Harvard is developing a global oil and gas CH4 emissions inventory which will be included in the future. Until we resolve this, the EDGAR v4.3.2 lumped oil/gas/coal emissions are added to CH4_OIL in the tagged CH4 simulation and CH4_GAS, CH4_COL only include emissions from Canada, US, and Mexico.
*EDGAR v4.3.2 rice emissions by default are annual emissions. For our CH4 simulations, we generated monthly EDGAR rice emissions by applying seasonality from the [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016GB005381/abstract Zhang et al. (2016)]. We had to preprocess the EDGAR files to do this and haven't yet figured out a way to apply the seasonality via HEMCO -- it may require writing an extension. If you're interested in using our EDGAR seasonal rice emissions, please let us know and we can send you those files.
*We have updated rice emissions from Zhang et al. (2016), but we don't have permission to share those data yet. We used those rice emissions in Maasakkers et al. (in prep) to apply seasonality to the EDGAR v4.3.2 rice emissions.
*We recommend not use the lakes emissions (they are turned off by default in HEMCO_Config.rc). There is some concern it leads to double-counting when used together with WetCHARTS. It’s something we’ll look into but just using WetCHARTS for now is a cleaner approach.
*There’s a small issue with incorporating offshore GEPA emissions right now (as those fall outside of the US mask. We’re working on resolving that.

=== Update CH4 emissions to EDGAR v4.2 ===
The CH4 simulation now uses emissions from the EDGAR v4.2 inventory.
==== In GEOS-Chem v10-01 and newer versions ====
In [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]] and newer versions, EDGAR v4.2 CH4 emissions are read with the [[HEMCO|HEMCO emissions component]].  We have created [http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/HEMCO/CH4/v2014-09/README new emission data files for the CH4 simulation] (in [[Preparing data files for use with HEMCO|COARDS-compliant netCDF format]]) for use with HEMCO. These new data files are contained in the [[HEMCO data directories|HEMCO data directory tree]].  For detailed instructions on how to download these data files to your disk server, please see our [[HEMCO_data_directories#Downloading_the_HEMCO_data_directories|''Downloading the HEMCO data directories'' wiki post]].

== Previous issues that are now resolved ==
----
 
'''''[[Aerosol-only simulation|Previous]] | [[CO2 simulation|Next]] | [[Guide to GEOS-Chem simulations]]'''''
The following bugs and/or issues with the code have now been resolved:
 
=== Add fixes for seasonal scale factors in CH4 simulations ===
 
<span style="color:green">'''''These updates (Git ID: [https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem-unittest/commit/6f48d04570ea616a0c39f8dd02c2c902e6183393 6f48d045]) were included in [[GEOS-Chem 12#12.1.0|GEOS-Chem 12.1.0]], which was released on 26 Nov 2018.'''''</span>
 
==== Seasonal manure emissions ====
 
The seasonal scale factor files for rice and manure CH4 emissions are available for 2009-2015. The CH4 simulation will crash with a HEMCO error when running outside of that time range because HEMCO can't find a file for that year. To fix this, Bram Maasakkers has generated climatology scale factors for years outside that range. A new file <tt>EMICH4_Manure_ScalingFactors.WithClimatology.nc</tt> has been created and the climatology values have been added to years 2008 and 2016. That way, with the "C" cycling flag set the climatology scaling factors will be used outside of 2009-2015. The new file also combines the yearly files into a single file without $YYYY in the filename.

==== Seasonal rice emissions ====
 
Hannah Nesser noted considerable differences in rice emissions totals between 4x5 and 2x2.5 methane simulations. The issue was traced to the use of zero values in the rice scaling factors file, which caused issues when regridding the 0.1x0.1 degree scale factors to 4x5 and 2x2.5 resolution. To resolve the issue, a new file <tt>EMICH4_Rice_ScalingFactors.SetMissing.nc</tt> was created in which zero values are replaced with missing values.

=== Now call INIT_GLOBAL_CH4 from input_mod.F ===
 
<span style="color:green">'''''This update was validated in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem v10-01 benchmark history#v10-01c|v10-01c]] and approved on 29 May 2014.'''''</span>
 
Prior to [[GEOS-Chem v10-01]], routine <tt>INIT_GLOBAL_CH4</tt> (in module <tt>GeosCore/global_ch4_mod.F</tt>) was called from the main driver routine <tt>main.F</tt> at the start of the simulation.
 
In order to make the code more compatible with our [[Grid-Independent GEOS-Chem]] development, we now call <tt>INIT_TAGGED_CH4</tt> from routine <tt>GIGC_INIT_EXTRA</tt> (in module <tt>GeosCore/input_mod.F</tt>).
 
--[[User:Bmy|Bob Y.]] 16:59, 30 May 2014 (EDT)
 
=== Minor fixes to CH4 simulation for MERRA meteorology ===
 
<span style="color:green">'''''These updates were validated in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem v10-01 benchmark history#v10-01c|v10-01c]] and approved on 29 May 2014.'''''</span>
 
We have made a couple of fixes to the CH4 simulation module (<tt>GeosCore/global_ch4_mod.F</tt>) for compatibility with the [[MERRA]] met fields.  At lines 1114, and again at line 1503, there were #if blocks that looked like this:
 
#if  defined( GEOS_5 ) || defined( GEOS_FP )
 
but these should have been:
 
#if  defined( GEOS_5 ) || defined( GEOS_FP ) || defined( MERRA )
 
Furthermore, in data directory <tt>GEOS_4x5/CH4_201305/wetlands</tt>, we have symbolically linked files:
 
GWETTOP.geos5.4x5.YYYY.bpch --> GWETTOP.merra.4x5.YYYY.bpch
TSKIN.geos5.4x5.YYYY.bpch  --> TSKIN.merra.4x5.YYYY.bpch
 
where <tt>YYYY = { 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 }</tt>.
 
These issues were discovered with the [[GEOS-Chem Unit Tester]].
