SUMMARY:
- v8-01-04 Run2 vs. v8-01-04 Run1 is a clean comparison between the GEOS-5.0.1 and GEOS-5.1.0 met products.
- v8-02-01 Run0 vs. v8-01-04 Run2 is a clean validation for the new chemistry mechanism, photolysis rates, and other updates that were added into v8-02-01.
- All runs used the same:
- A.T.E. Algorithm = RPMARES
- Advection routine: "new" tpcore
- Biogenic emissions: "new" MEGAN AEF's for isoprene
- GFED2 biomass emissions
- Aircraft NOx emissions
- Approximate random cloud overlap option in photolysis

Previous issues now resolved in v8-02-01
The following user-reported bugs have now been corrected in v8-02-01:
On-the-fly regridding for 0.5x0.667 nested grids
Win Trivitayanurak (wtrivita@staffmail.ed.ac.uk) wrote:
- Hi,
- this is a follow up to the data regridding problem that I ahve discussed with Philippe the other day. The problem was that, for my China nested-grid 0.5x0.667 simulation, the subroutine DO_THE_REGRIDDING in regrid_1x1_mod.f previously did not have the case for nested-grid 0.5x0.667. Therefore, I wrote a new subroutine called REGRID_05x0666_NESTED and added the call for it inside the existing subroutine DO_THE_REGRIDDING. This should work just fine w/ a N.America nested-grid 0.5x0.667 simulation too but will halt the run if used for running other region, which only makes sense. Please see in the attached file.
The regrid_1x1_mod.f file given by Win was included in GEOS-Chem v8-02-01.

Bug with EMEP ship emissions for nested grids
Win Trivitayanurak (wtrivita@staffmail.ed.ac.uk) wrote:
- This bug is in subroutine EMFOSSIL in emfossil.f. The use of function GET_EUROPE_MASK when LEMEP = .false. crashes the run because, i think, the function is not really valid when EMEP emission is not turned on. When I ran the China nested-grid, all other emission choices need to be turned off, e.g. EMEP, BRAVO. Only STREETS can be on for the China nested grid run. Therefore, w/o this fix, the run won't go anywhere.
- I copy the section of the code and paste it here below. See the change in the line with !Prior to 5/1/09 (win, 5/1/09).
!Prior to 5/1/09 (win, 5/1/09) ! ELSE IF ( LEMEPSHIP .AND. ! $ ( GET_EUROPE_MASK( I, J ) > 0d0 ) ) THEN ! ! ! Get SHIP EMEP emissions for NOx [molec/cm2/s] ! SHIP = GET_EMEP_ANTHRO( I, J, NN, SHIP=.TRUE.)
ELSE IF ( LEMEPSHIP ) THEN IF ( GET_EUROPE_MASK( I, J ) > 0d0 ) ! Get SHIP EMEP emissions for NOx [molec/cm2/s] & SHIP = GET_EMEP_ANTHRO( I, J, NN, SHIP=.TRUE.)
The change was introduced in emfossil.f in v8-02-01.

Bug in sulfate_mod.f to turn off biomass emissions
Win Trivitayanurak (wtrivita@staffmail.ed.ac.uk) wrote:
- In subroutine EMISSSULFATE inside sulfate_mod.f, there should be the switch LBIOMASS to check if the GET_BIOMASS SO2 and GET_BIOMASS_NH3 should be called or not. Before this fix, the code leaves no choice to cleanly turn off biomass burning emission completely because these two calls would occur everytime it is a new month. Please see the attached file in the mentioned subroutine where I commented.
The modifications to sulfate_mod.f file given by Win are now implemented in v8-02-01.

Minor error in gamap_mod.f
Noelle Selin (selin@mit.edu) wrote:
- In my testing/debugging, the compiler found another problem: in gamap_mod, line 1313 and forward (init_tracerinfo):
DO T = 1, N_TRACERS ! Store quantities for each tracer NAME (T,45) = TRACER_NAME(T) FNAME(T,45) = TRIM( NAME(T,45) ) // ' tracer' MOLC (T,45) = INT( TRACER_COEFF(T,1) ) SCALE(T,45) = 1.0e+9 INDEX(T,45) = N
- The error pulled was that N did not have a previous value. Should it be T? (I changed it to T and it seemed OK...but again it's gamap_mod so it doesn't seem like a big deal).
Philippe Le Sager (plesager@seas.harvard.edu) wrote:
- yes, it should be T. We recently found about that when debugging for Jenny, and we already put it in the next version being tested now.

Bug fix for Streets emissions on 0.5x0.666 nested grid
We found the v8-01-04 of Geos-Chem doesn't read the correct Streets emission files for the 0.5x0.666 nested grid over China. Right now it would read Streets emissions at 1x1 resolution and regrid them.
To correct it, you need to change :
! Read David Streets' emisisons over China / SE ASia IF ( LSTREETS .and. ITS_A_NEW_MONTH() ) THEN CALL EMISS_STREETS_ANTHRO ENDIF
by :
! Read David Streets' emisisons over China / SE ASia IF ( LSTREETS .and. ITS_A_NEW_MONTH() ) THEN #if defined(GRID05x0666) CALL EMISS_STREETS_ANTHRO_05x0666 #else CALL EMISS_STREETS_ANTHRO #endif ENDIF
in emission_mod.f for every call to EMISS_STREETS_ANTHRO. I.e in the case of full chemistry, offline aerosol, tagged CO, CH4, CO2 and offline H2/HD.
In streets_anthro_mod.f, in the subroutine emiss_streets_anthro_05x0666, you need to change all the lines :
CALL READ_STREETS(...
by :
CALL READ_STREETS_05x0666(...
WARNING : make sure to change the calls to READ_STREETS only in the emiss_streets_anthro_05x0666 subroutine and NOT in emiss_streets_anthro.
