== Recent updates ==
 
The following updates were recently added into the GEOS-Chem CH4 simulation:
 
===  Update methane emissions and add capability for North America nested grid ===
 
'''''This update was tested in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem_v9-01-03_benchmark_history#v9-01-03h|v9-01-03h]] and approved on 09 Mar 2012.'''''

:I have some GEOS-Chem methane updates that I'd like to add to the standard code.
 
:#GFED emissions - I've updated GFED-2 and GFED-3 biomass burning to include methane emissions.
:#Methane simulation - I've updated emissions and error catches to make the simulation compatible with the nested simulation over North America. I added linearized CH4 chemistry from GMI output (CH4 loss frequencies generated by Lee Murray). These changes should be made to the data directory:
 
:::a. Replace Carbon_soil, Carbon_litter, and Wetfrac files in data directory (for all horizontal resolutions)
:::b. Add 2010-2011 TSKIN and GWETTOP files to data directory (for all horizontal resolutions)
:::c. Add nested north american OH files to OH directory
:::d. Add biofuel emissions to data directory (for all horizontal resolutions)
:::e. Add all emission files to data directory for nested North America simulation
 
The [[CH4_simulation#Error_reading_GWETTOP_fields|error in reading GWETTOP fields]] is also fixed in this update.

=== Notes about the methane simulation ===
 
:1. '''annual_met.pro:'''  The methane simulation uses monthly and annual average skin temperature and soil moisture values from the met fields.  These are calculated offline using IDL ("annual_met.pro").  This file can be found on the ftp site in the methane data directory with the LPJ wetland emission scheme (e.g., "GEOS_0.5x0.666_NA/CH4_201305/wetlands").  The script should work as is for 2004-2011, however we don't currently have the met data for 2012 so you may need to modify "global_ch4_mod.F" if you're interested in 2012 or 2013.
:::  '''Subroutine "WETLAND_EMIS"
        YEAR = GET_YEAR()
        #if  defined( GEOS_5 )
        IF ( YEAR .LT. 2004 ) YEAR  = 2004
        IF ( YEAR .GT. 2011 ) YEAR  = 2011
 
:::  '''Subroutine "RICE_EMIS"
        ! Get annual and monthly mean soil wetness from GEOS
        ! One file contains both monthly and annual mean GWETTOP
        YEAR = GET_YEAR()
        #if  defined( GEOS_5 )
        IF ( YEAR .LT. 2004 ) YEAR  = 2004
        IF ( YEAR .GT. 2011 ) YEAR  = 2011
 
:2. '''Seasonality of Rice Emissions:'''  Seasonality in the rice emissions is imposed through annual and monthly average soil moisture values.  This works reasonably well for major rice growing areas like South/East Asia where rice paddies are rain-fed, but it fails in other regions.  For example, California rice paddies are irrigated and crops are grown in the summer, precisely when the natural soil is the driest.  You can enter the "global_ch4_mod.F", subroutine "RICE_EMIS", and impose any seasonality you want on the annual emission rates from EDGAR.
 
:3. '''Potential Global Mean Bias:''' The methane simulation may not simulate global average concentrations accurately.  That is, you may have a mean bias of up to +/-30ppbv when you compare the simulation to observations.  A global mean bias means that the model has a slight imbalance between the sources and sinks relative to the world.  You may want to consider removing this mean bias before analyzing your model concentrations.

::1. Christopher Pickett-Heaps added a feature that zeroes wetland emissions if snow covers the ground. This was never incorporated into the standard code. It is included in the attached file.
 
::2. Parameters in the subroutine are not correct. The following values are the correct and are included in the attached file:
          MOIST_SCALE = 0.205
          EMIT_FACT  = 0.018

=== Error reading GWETTOP fields ===
 
'''''This update was tested in the 1-month benchmark simulation [[GEOS-Chem_v9-01-03_benchmark_history#v9-01-03h|v9-01-03h]] and approved on 09 Mar 2012.'''''
 
There is a file read error in the current CH4 simulation. We will fix this issue in [[GEOS-Chem v9-01-03]].
 
In RICE_EMIS (global_ch4_mod.F), XTAU is reset to the wrong value when GEWTTOP is read. Kevin Wecht provided a fix that accounts for different availabilities of GEOS-4 and GEOS-5 met fields. Prior to setting FILENAME for GWETTOP , add the following:
 
      YEAR = GET_YEAR()
#if  defined( GEOS_5 )
      IF ( YEAR .LT. 2004 ) YEAR  = 2004
      IF ( YEAR .GT. 2009 ) YEAR  = 2009
#elif defined( GEOS_4 )
      IF ( YEAR .LT. 2000 ) YEAR  = 2000
      IF ( YEAR .GT. 2006 ) YEAR  = 2006
#endif
      WRITE( CYEAR, '(i4)' ) YEAR
 
:Also change:
 
      XTAU = GET_TAU0( 1, 1, GET_YEAR() )
and
      XTAU = GET_TAU0( GET_MONTH(), 1, GET_YEAR() )
 
:to:
 
      XTAU = GET_TAU0( 1, 1, YEAR )
and
      XTAU = GET_TAU0( GET_MONTH(), 1, YEAR )
