Current GEOS-Chem Transport Issues

Common set of tracers in GEOS-Chem and GEOS
The transport Working Group has proposed implementing additional tracers in GEOS-Chem for benchmarking purposes and diagnosing transport in GEOS-Chem compared to GEOS-5.

- Andrea and I would like to seek your comment on the effort needed to implement additional tracers in GCC and GCHP. See below for the list of tracers in GEOS that Andrea sent earlier.
- It would be straightforward to implement all these tracers in GCHP. Per Andrea, all we need to do is to download some additional code (called the tracer gridded component "Tracer_GridComp" in GEOS).
- If we want the same tracer suites in GCC (e.g., an extension of current radionuclide tracers, simulation type "1") as in GCHP, how much effort would it be? Is there any practical reason that a reduced number of tracers is preferred in GCC?
Bob Yantosca replied:
- It looks as if most of these are passive species with a fixed atmospheric lifetime, right? If so, then it is very straightforward to add these to any GEOS-Chem simulation. See our instructions for adding passive species to GEOS-Chem.
- So basically in the passive species menu of input.geos you would list the names of each passive species, its default concentrations, and atmospheric lifetime is. If the species has an emissions flux, you can specify that with a corresponding entry in the HEMCO_Config.rc file, as described on the wiki.
- I think the only modification we might need to make is that you are currently limited to 20 passive species but that is easy to extend by just changing a parameter value.

Tracer suggestions
Chris Holmes wrote:
- Another tracer suggestion: I like and use the "origin" tracers defined by Clara Orbe et al. (2013). These tracers give the fraction of air that that originates in specified source regions.
- In addition to diagnosing transport, I think the tracers will be useful as templates for users to modify for their own purposes (e.g. customizing source regions). For that reason, a comprehensive set of tracers would be useful, if they can be optional.
