==== Fixes to correct ALK4 lumping issue ====
<span style="color:green">'''''These fixes were included in [[GEOS-Chem v11-02#v11-02a|v11-02a]] and approved on 12 May 2017.'''''</span>
'''''[[User:Barronh|Barron Henderson]] wrote:'''''
<blockquote>I have a lumping-related issue that I know some of you are already aware of. There is a chemical carbon source (and secondary ETO2 source).
Right now, ALK4 (via R4O2) produces 4.26 moles carbon products per reaction. The ALK4 representation can be traced back to a paper by Frederick Lurmann. That paper refers to a report that I have been unable to obtain. In fact, Frederick Lurmann no longer has a copy.  When we spoke, however, he confirmed my suspicion that ALK4 is based on a 70% butane and 30% pentane mixture. Our 4.26 carbon product appears to be based on two differences (typos?) from the paper that alter the yields.
If ALK4 emissions are introduced using a 4C assumption, then ALK4 chemistry is acting as a 7% carbon source. From a ozone reactivity standpoint, this is not a major issue. First, the speciation of VOC is highly uncertain and most of the atmosphere is NOx-limited. Even so, it represents another reason to revisit our lumped species.
I have [https://www.evernote.com/shard/s315/sh/f2ec9589-d827-4ee1-afcb-96ee5a2d2914/d84318450f729cd414e4a6653c03a296 extensive notes] on what I interpret as happening.  To the best of my knowledge, we need to make three modifications to R4O2 + NO. The first two are to make R4O2 correctly linked to Lurmann and the third is to correctly connect the mass emissions with the molar conservation.
#Increase MO2 stoichiometry from 0.18 to 0.19
#Increase RCHO stoichiometry from 0.13 to 0.14 (or A3O2 from 0.05 to 0.06 -- it is not clear to me when this was introduced).
#Modify the carbon count for ALK4 (i.e. the <tt>MolecRatio</tt> field in the [[GEOS-Chem species database]]) from 4 to 4.3.
Fixes 1 and 2&mdash;which can be applied to the KPP <tt>globchem.eqn</tt> file&mdash;will make the carbon conservation consistent with Lurmann's.    Right now, it looks like there were a couple changes that could have been inadvertent (i.e., 0.18 instead of 0.19). If there was a reason for these changes, I have been unable to find it.</blockquote>

Carbon balance

Script for evaluating carbon balance

Barron Henderson wrote:

[I created] an evaluation script to preserve balances going forward as the mechanism evolves (e.g., as isoprene gets updated).

Currently, this done using an off-line script described in a linked note. The approach is pretty straight-forward, but could be expanded to check conservation of functional groups as suggested by Mat.

Longer term, the same technique would ideally be built-in to the standard KPP as an optional report. I discussed it with Michael Long and we both think that KPP has most of the capability for atom conservation (if not all). It may simply be a matter of defining the chemical formulas in the *.spc file.
