Overview

The Linoz stratospheric ozone chemistry package ...

Authors and collaborators:

  • McLinden (UC Irvine ?)
  • Philip Cameron-Smith (LLNL)
  • Brendan Field (formerly Harvard)
  • Dylan Jones (U. Toronto)
  • Jane Liu (U. Toronto)

Implementation notes

Linoz has been implemented into GEOS-Chem v8-02-04.

Code structure

The main-level Code directory has now been divided into several subdirectories:

GeosCore/    GEOS-Chem "core" routines
GeosUtil/    "Utility" modules (e.g. error_mod.f, file_mod.f, time_mod.f, etc.
Headers/     Header files (define.h, CMN_SIZE, CMN_DIAG, etc.)
ISOROPIA/    Directory where ISORROPIA II code resides   
KPP/         KPP solver directory structure
bin/         Directory where executables are placed
doc/         Directory where documentation is created
help/        Directory for GEOS-Chem Help Screen
lib/         Directory where library files are placed
mod/         Directory where module files are placed
obsolete/    Directory where obsolete versions of code are archived

Linoz consists of the following files:

  • GeosCore/linoz_mod.f: Source code file with Linoz chemistry subroutines
  • GEOS_1x1/Linoz_200910/Linoz_March2007.dat: File with ozone climatology in the GEOS_1x1 data directory
