Remove dependence of species drydep on HNO3 drydep Science Katie Travis (Harvard)
Jenny Fisher (U. Wollongong)
  • NOTE: This was mostly achieved in GEOS-Chem v11-01, with the implementation of the GEOS-Chem species database. For example, N2O5 (which used to depend on the drydep velocity of HNO3) is now assigned the relevant dry deposition parameters in the species database. The dry deposition velocity N2O5 is now computed explicitly. This eliminates the need to manually assign the dry deposition velocity of HNO3 to N2O5 (which was done with confusing code).

Validation

In this section we provide information about the benchmarks and tests that we have done to validate GEOS-Chem v11-01.

1-month and 1-year benchmarks

For complete information about the benchmark simulations used to validate GEOS-Chem v11-02, please see our GEOS-Chem v11-02 benchmark history wiki page.

Unit tests for GEOS-Chem v11-02

We perform a full set of unit tests on GEOS-Chem on an almost daily basis. These tests ensure that each new feature being added does not break any existing functionality.

Here are the unit tests that we ran before submitting 1-month benchmark simulation for v11-02. Click on the links below to see the results from each set of unit tests:

Previous issues now resolved in GEOS-Chem v11-02

The following bugs and/or technical issues have been resolved in v11-02:

Removed the NNPAR parameter from CMN_SIZE_mod.F

This update will be added to v11-02a.

The NNPAR parameter is a holdover from when we used COMMON blocks to store GEOS-Chem arrays. With the advent of the GEOS-Chem species database, we now use State_Chm%nSpecies to represent the total number of species in the chemistry mechanism, and State_Chm%nAdvect to represent the total number of advected species.

We have therefore removed the following lines (in RED) from CMN_SIZE_mod.F: 

      !=================================================================
      ! TRACER & EMISSION SPECIES PARAMETERS
      !
      ! NNPAR   = max number of tracers
      ! NEMPARA = max number of anthropogenic emission species
      ! NEMPARB = max number of biogenic      emission species
      !=================================================================
      ! increase NNPAR and NEMPARA an extra amount (hotp 7/31/09)
#if   defined( TOMAS )
# if    defined( TOMAS40 )
      INTEGER,    PARAMETER :: NNPAR   = 430   ! For TOMAS40 (sfarina 6/11/13)
# elif  defined( TOMAS15 )
      INTEGER,    PARAMETER :: NNPAR   = 205   ! For TOMAS15 (sfarina 6/11/13)
# elif  defined( TOMAS12 )
      INTEGER,    PARAMETER :: NNPAR   = 178   ! For TOMAS12 (sfarina 6/11/13)
# else
      INTEGER,    PARAMETER :: NNPAR   = 340   ! For TOMAS (win, bmy, sfarina 6/11/13)f
# endif
#else
      INTEGER,    PARAMETER :: NNPAR   = 150   ! For non-TOMAS simulations
#endif

Print the version number to the log file

This update will be added to v11-02a.

In routine DISPLAY_GRID_AND_MODEL of GeosCore/main.F, we now print out the version number, e.g. 

Using GEOS-Chem version: v11-02

to the log file (i.e. stdout output stream). This will facilitate debugging.
