Overview
Below we summarize the notable changes caused by specific updates. See also the internal benchmark results which isolate impacts from specific updates.

1. Migrating sulfate chemistry into KPP

An error in GEOS-Chem 13.3.0 meant that HMS chemistry was not properly implemented. This has now been fixed (see this plot).

Furthermore, this update causes the global tropospheric mass of BrO to increase by 11%:

                        before    after      diff      % diff
   BrO trop mass [Gg] : 9.543837  10.623180  1.079344  11.309

This increase (see plot) seems to be caused by the sulfur reactions on sea salt that were added to the KPP-generated chemical mechanism. The area of greatest change of BrO is at the surface southern extratropics, an area of high sea salt emissions. ]

Other changes in benchmark output related to this update are:

  • Very small changes in OH Metrics (mean OH +0.0004%)
  • Small changes in Oxidants concentrations.
  • SO2 at surface decreases by ~10%.
  • Large SO4 decreases (~50%) in the boreal forest regions of Canada & Russia.

2. Turn off sea salt aerosol debromination by default

To address the large increase in ozone concentrations over the Southern Ocean caused primarily by the sulfate chemistry updates and their impact on BrO, we now turn off sea salt aerosol debromination by default. This is done by turning off emissions of BrSALA and BrSALC via the Seasalt extension or offline seasalt emissions in HEMCO. This restores ozone back to reasonable levels as shown by the internal benchmark.

3. Convert the HOCl & HOBr reactions with dissolved SO2 to use gas phase SO2

The overall impact on model output appears small. For example, global mass differences for select species are:

4. Fix bug in Henry law CALC_HEFF routine in hetchem computations

This update causes the global tropospheric mass of BrO to increase by 15%:

                        before    after     diff      % diff
   BrO trop mass [Gg} : 8.358857  9.663602  1.304745  15.609

Other changes in benchmark output related to this update are:

  • Very small changes in the OH metrics (mean OH -0.0698%, MCF lifetime +0.10%; CH4 lifetime +0.05%)
  • Small changes in Trop+Strat masses for most species.
  • Cl/Br species concentrations have significant changes primarily in the extratropics.

5. AEIC 2019 aircraft emissions inventory and Fix scale factors applied to VOC aircraft emissions in AEIC inventory

The impact of updating from AEIC 2005 to AEIC 2019 may be viewed in the aircraft emissions difference plot.

In addition, this version includes updated scale factors for AEIC VOC emissions, which correct the conversion from atoms C to kg species, result in significant decreases in emissions for VOC species. This occurs mostly in the northern hemisphere and up to the lower stratosphere (where most aircraft emissions are placed).

The total impact on aircraft emissions is:

6. Bug fix: Remove double-counting of HCl uptake on acidic sea salt

This update causes the global tropospheric mass of BrO to increase by 13%:

                 before    after     diff      % diff
   alpha.4 BrO : 7.354777  8.358857  1.004080  13.652

Other changes in benchmark output related to this update are:

  • As expected, chlorine species concentrations decrease in the southern latitudes (esp. at about 40S), where there is more sea salt (and now less removal of HCl due to the bug fix).
  • Some increase of Cl species concentrations at northern latitudes are observed.
  • Cly concentrations generally increase.
  • Very small chagnes in OH metrics as well (mean OH -0.03% change).

7. Update surface resistance for ozone deposition to ice/snow

Barten et.al 2021 (https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-21-10229-2021) increased the surface resistance of ozone dry deposition to snow and ice to 1E4 s m−1, this results in a reduction of ozone deposition velocity to ice of <= 0.01 cm s−1 (~ 66% reduction) which has better agreement with observations and results in improved comparison between Ozone observations in the arctic.

Changes in benchmark output related to this update are:

  • Increase in O3 concentration at the summer polar latitudes (i.e. deposition to ice/snow is suppressed);
  • Minor change in other oxidants;
  • Neglible effect on OH metrics;
  • Neglible change in species mass (O3 only increases by 0.01%).

8. HEMCO bug fix: restore archiving via manual diagnostics (which had been inadvertently disabled in a prior update)

This update was added in 13.3.3 but does cause very slight changes in NOx soil and fertilizer emissions, as shown below. The HEMCO soil NOx extension uses an manual diagnostic to keep track of NOx from fertilizers.

9. Use degassing-only volcano emissions in GEOS-Chem benchmark simulations

Removing eruptive volcanoes from the benchmark simulations reduces the amount of SO2 emitted by 1%:

Other changes in benchmark output related to this update are:

  • OH metrics show very small change;
  • SO2 mass changes by -9%, SO4 by -4.6%, NIT by +4.3%, NH3 by +1.5%, NH4 by -1.1%.
  • Some gas phase species show corresponding mass changes (e.g.ITCN & ITHN, +1.3%, KO2, -0.49%, MCHRN ; 5 S+0.8; *Other species mass change typically by +/- 0.5%;
  • Minor decreases in SOx concentration at surface observed over SA, Africa, Indonesia, Australia.

10. Add option for driving GEOS-Chem & GCHP with native GEOS meteorological files

Changes in benchmark output related to this update are:

  • Very small changes in OH metrics (mean OH -0.007%, MCF lifetime +0.011%, CH4 lifetime +0.011%)
  • Mostly small changes in species mass (typically less than +/- 1%), except for a few species such as ACET, ATO2, BrSALA, which are larger;
  • Minor differences in species concentration in the polar regions due to the removal of ALBEDO as a proxy for snow/ice.

11. Fix end year for CEDS NO ship emissions

A typo in the end year for CEDS_NO_SHIP caused 2010 emissions to be used for benchmark simulations instead of 2019 emissions. The impact on ship emissions is summarized below.
