Current GEOS-Chem Chemistry Issues (please add yours!)
Working group telecom on the 13/3/2019
There was a telecon to discuss issues with the chemistry. The notes from the meeting are here Media:Chemistry_WG_March_2019..pdf . Mat Evans
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.

Identification of carbon leaking reactions
Sarah Safieddine wrote:
76 other reactions leaked carbon, we enforced carbon conservation by tracking the lost carbon as CO2 (labeled as {CO2} in the document ROC_SI.docx, Table 2). This is the supplementary material for Safieddine, Heald and Henderson, 2017. It contains the corrections for both the carbon leaking and carbon creating reactions and all other information. The paper for reference can be found here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2017GL072602/abstract.

Fixes to correct ALK4 lumping issue
These fixes were included in v11-02a and approved on 12 May 2017.
Barron Henderson wrote:
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 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 MolecRatio field in the GEOS-Chem species database) from 4 to 4.3.
Fixes 1 and 2—which can be applied to the KPP globchem.eqn file—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.

Isoprene chemistry
I've created a page with some of the recent literature on isoprene chemistry. Please add more papers as they come along! ( MJE Leeds)
HO2 + CH2O
Scheme does not contain the HO2 + CH2O --> Adduct reaction (MJE Leeds)

According to this paper, this reaction is significant when Temperature is below 220K.
