Aircraft emissions

NOx

02-Oct-2007

Due to the common block error described by Lee Murray, in GEOS-Chem v7-04-13 we have added a new module array (EMIS_AC_NOx) to "aircraft_nox_mod.f". The EMIS_AC_NOx array will be referenced in routine "setemis.f", which will pass the aircraft NOx emissions to the SMVGEAR solver. The old common-block array "GEMISNOX" will be removed.
