- Could there be an error in SO2 emissions that goes beyond MIX? In this plot (top left) I see more than a factor of 2 reduction in anthropogenic SO2 emissions in many regions worldwide.
- Something similar appears to happen for NO, but the global emission totals for NO increase.

- HEMCO has the capability to calculate total emissions per inventory, so I used that feature to diagnose how the emission inventories are changing between v10-01f, v10-01h, and v10-01i to see if that can explain the differences showing up in the benchmarks. Please see the attached comparisons for the SO2 anthropogenic emission inventories and NO anthropogenic emission inventories. The year column in the tables represents the base year of the emission inventory, which has changed for many of the inventories.
- Anthropogenic SO2 emissions decrease for most of the updated inventories (EDGAR, NEI2011, EMEP), which would help explain the global decrease in SO2 concentrations. MIX shows an increase in the SO2 emission totals, but that is likely dominated by the increase in Indian SO2 emissions and the inclusion of Russia. As we see from the emission difference maps, SO2 emissions generally decrease over China. We used the old mask file that included Russia for v10-01h and v10-01i, so Russian emissions are still included here. We have applied the new MIX mask file as a last-minute fix for the v10-01 release.
- The increase in global NO emissions is primarily driven by EMEP and AEIC emissions. There may be a problem in the IDL routine for calculating the anthro+biofuel totals for NO (I’m looking into this). In the NOx sources table in that same file, we don’t see large differences in the individual NO anthropogenic sources:

Comments about the 1-year benchmark v10-01h
Jeff Pierce wrote:
- There are huge changes in dust and some in sea-salt. I'm not sure why these changed at all. There are some non-trivial changes to other aerosol species, but these could be due to the emissions inventory changes.
Melissa Sulprizio wrote:
- The changes in dust and sea salt may attributed to the meteorology fields. In the previous 1-year benchmarks we ran for 2013/01 – 2013/08 then 2012/08 – 2013/01. We did that because of met field and OTD-LIS factor availability for GEOS-FP at the time. We have since downloaded the GEOS-FP met fields for all of 2013 and in this version (v10-01h) we updated the OTD-LIS factors for GEOS-FP through October 2014. Therefore, for this 1-year benchmark simulation we were able to run for the entirety of 2013.
Christoph Keller wrote:
- FYI, there has also been a change in dry deposition that may be responsible for some of the observed changes: in the new version (10-01h), dry deposition of dust particles is done within the PBL mixing scheme (as for all other tracers). The former GEOS-Chem versions performed dust dry deposition within the dust chemistry routine.
Dylan Millet wrote:
- I had a look at the benchmark plots, focusing on the VOCs. There are a lot of emission updates in this version and the composition changes seem to generally be explainable by that. A few notes:
- isoprene emissions drop 30%, which is greater than the ~18% I expected based on tests when I implemented this change originally (10% decrease due to MEGAN changes + 8% decrease due to canopy change). But it's not such a difference that something is clearly wrong; may just be GEOS-FP vs GEOS-5.
- anthro + biofuel propane: > factor of 2 decrease in emissions, 12 to 5 TgC. This looks to be largely due to a massive emission decrease in Asia. Is this right? Just want to check that emissions there aren't actually zero or anything.
- CO generally shows a modest improvement compared to observations
- some VOCs change quite a bit in the inter-mountain west, I suppose this is a deliberate change in NEI-11?
- we're now using MEGAN for ALD2 (didn't previously have any biogenic emissions in the model) and PRPE, so emissions of these changed quite a bit
- there are some strange spatial patterns in the October ratio plots for some species (e.g., ALK4, MEK), oscillating between 2x increases and 2x decreases ... I'm guessing this is because we're ratioing October of 2013 with October of 2012
Prasad Kasibhatla wrote:
- I checked the emission ratio plots for biomass burning CO emissions for Jan, Apr, Jul, and Oct, as well as the annual total CO emissions from biomass burning against plots/totals that I created offline. The benchmark plots/totals match the plots/totals for CO that I generate offline. So I am confident that GFED3/4 emissions are correctly implemented in HEMCO in GC v10-01h.
- A couple of quick notes:
- The benchmark comparisons for biomass burning is not an apples-to-apples GFED3 vs GFED4 comparison because the GFED3 runs are with emissions for 2011 (because GFED3 does not go out to 2013) and the GFED4 runs are with emissions for 2013.
- The GFED4 emissions are preliminary. The final version of GFED4 will be released in a month or so. At that point, we simply have to swap out the input files read in by GC.
- One future change to the code is to be expected. GFED4 emission categories are slightly different compared to GFED3 emission categories. In the current implementation, I have mapped GFED4 dry matter burned categories into GFED3 categories offline so as to keep the emission factors the same. In the near future I expect to implement the GFED4 emission categories with updated emission factors.
Aaron van Donkelaar wrote:
- The EMEP-related emission-ratio plots look good as well. One minor point of note is that the native resolution of the updated EMEP emissions are 50 km x 50 km, not 0.1° x 0.1° grid as previously stated on the wiki. Regridding to the finer 0.1° x 0.1° resolution allowed these input files to maintain a reasonable representation of their original grid characteristics, thereby permitting HEMCO to more accurately regrid onto a variety of GEOS-Chem grids. I've updated the wiki accordingly.
Chris Holmes wrote:
- After seeing [the figures comparing v10-01i and v10-01f], I am comfortable that the PARANOX/HEMCO updates are consistent with what I expected. There is a small increase of 1-2 ppb O3 over the N. Pacific ship tracks, which are what I found in my personal benchmarks with just PARANOX changes. The changes of 10-15 ppb over the N. Atlantic appear to originate over Europe and North America (emission changes?) and overwhelm any expected effect of the PARANOX update.
Randall Martin wrote:
- Maps that Melissa just made for the 1 month benchmark are helpful to identify which inventories are responsible for which changes.

- These maps seem to indicate that the large (25%) reduction in global SO2 emissions is being driven by decreases from China. Does anyone know if this is expected? It appears somewhat surprising to me.
Yuxuan Wang wrote:
- I noticed the large reduction of SO2 over China and was surprised too. SO2 emissions from China were reported to have decreased since 2006 and I expect this decrease trend to be included in the MIX Asia inventory which is used in v10-01i. The v10-01i benchmark run is for year 2012/2013 and presumably uses yearly specific emissions for SO2. If v10-01f_UCX uses the older INTEX-B inventory for SO2 emissions which is for the year 2006 (Melissa: could you please confirm this?), then the plotted difference in SO2 emissions over China between the two versions can be explained. This is just my guess.
Melissa Sulprizio wrote:
- That is correct. The benchmarks for v10-01e and prior versions used Asian emissions from the Streets 2006 (INTEX-B) inventory, while v10-01h uses the MIX inventory. The MIX Asian emissions are available for years 2008 and 2010, so we use 2010 emissions in our benchmark simulations for v10-01h.
Qiang Zhang wrote:
- Attached is a comparison between Streets 2006 and MIX 2010 over SE Asia. SO2 emissions didn't change too much over SE Asia. Large decrease of propane emissions and increase of ethane emissions are due to update of NMVOC speciation scheme, as documented in Li et al. (2014). Anthropogenic emissions of aldehydes and ketones are also significantly increased because OVOCs are included in the new NMVOC speciation scheme.
- Daniel noticed change in far east Russia emissions. This is because of the new MIX 2010 inventory covers Asian parts of Russia and it uses different methods than EDGAR. To obtain a consistent emission estimates for Russia, I would suggest to use EDGAR for Asian Russia. We prepared a new MIX region mask file which rejected Asian Russia region.
Meng Li wrote:
- I made plots of the comparisons between MIX and INTEX-B emission inventory for SO2 for January, April, July and October (which are attached) at 4 x 5 degree, and the results are identical to those from v10-01h benchmark. So I think there are no errors in MIX emissions in simulations of benchmark v10-01h.

Comments about the 1-year benchmark v10-01e
Jeff Pierce wrote:
- The carbonaceous aerosols have definitely changed since the last benchmark, but now OCPI over tropical forests is less than 10% of the OCPI pre-HEMCO (page 35 of the ratios). Can you confirm that the 0.1*monoterpenes is being added to OCPI as it was pre-HEMCO?
Melissa Sulprizio responded:
- I found an error in the MEGAN emissions. In the HEMCO configuration file, we have MEGAN_SOA turned on by default because HEMCO knows to ignore the SOA species if we are not running a SOA simulation. However, with MEGAN_SOA turned on, we don’t execute the part of the code where we add 0.1*monoterpenes to OCPI. Therefore, as you noted, we see lower OCPI concentrations over tropical forests. Turning MEGAN_SOA off fixes this problem.
Shiliang Wu wrote:
- The O3 profiles show some large increases (up to 30ppb or more) in Jan for certain locations, such as Uccle(51), Hohenpeissenberg(48), Kagoshima(32), Shanghai(31), etc. - these don't look to be due to emission change, so I wonder what's causing this?
Christoph Keller wrote:
- There were two open questions regarding the 1-yr benchmark (at least to my knowledge):
- 1. The ozone ‘blob’ forming over Europe in January
- 2. The much lower concentration of NITs and SO4s in v10-01e compared to v10-01c.
- I think I have an explanation for both points, and I would argue that the new code makes more sense physically:
- 1. The ozone blob is actually a good thing as it removes an issue that was introduced in v9-02r. As Melissa pointed out to me, ever since v9-02r we have been seeing a drastic decrease of ozone over Europe (and to a lesser extent East Asia) in January. This was because PARANOX could produce - under low O3 conditions - incredibly high O3 deposition values (division of a high number by a very, very small number). This would basically create a black hole for ozone at the surface that would then remove more and more ozone from the entire column. Melissa did a number of sensitivity studies where she ran v10-01c with and without PARANOX, and those plots show this effect very nicely. The new code does not allow such a behavior anymore, which explains the higher ozone concentrations in January compared to v10-01e.
- 2. NITs and SO4s are closely linked to sulfate chemistry and thus alkalinity. Alkalinity is directly obtained from the total mass of emitted sea salt aerosol, e.g. we approximate alkalinity = SSA. Since SSA is a 2D field but alkalinity is 3D, the sea salt aerosol need to be distributed vertically. In the old code, alkalinity was set to the total mass of emitted sea salt aerosol for every grid box that was below the PBL (zero otherwise). In other words, if the PBL was at level 11, the integrated alkalinity over this column was 10 times higher than the total mass of emitted sea salt aerosols in the same column. I found that not very realistic and therefore changed the alkalinity calculation so that it takes into account the fraction of the PBL. I also checked in with Fabien Paulot who has been working on this and he also thinks that this is the better way of doing it. After all, it ensures that the total alkalinity equals the total amount of emitted sea salt aerosols. This explains the much lower values for NITs and SO4s that we see in v10-01e compared to v10-01c.

v10-01c
Because GEOS-Chem v10-01c was the version where we introduced the UCX chemistry mechanism, we performed two 1-month benchmark simulations:
- v10-01c_trop: 1-month benchmark with tropopsheric chemistry
- v10-01c_UCX: 1-month benchmark with UCX strat-trop chemistry (72 vertical levels)
--Bob Y. 13:15, 30 May 2014 (EDT)
Final recommendation for J-values
We were not able to include this final recommendation for J(HAC) and J(PAN) into the v10-01c_trop and v10-01c_UCX 1-month benchmarks. We will include these in the 1-year benchmarks for v10-01c.
