POPs simulation
The POPs simulation is currently stale in GEOS-Chem 13.0.0 and later versions. We look to the GEOS-Chem Community to help maintain this simulation.

PAH simulation
Overview
This update was tested in the 1-month benchmark simulation v9-02c and approved on 29 Nov 2012.
A simulation for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been added to GEOS-Chem v8-03-02 following Friedman and Selin (2012). Three separate PAHs are modeled: phenanthrene (PHE), pyrene (PYR), and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). Separate modules have been created for each of the PAHs. Users can choose between different compounds in the input file.
Updates to PAH code
These updates were included in the 1-month benchmark simulation v11-01c and approved on 14 Sept 2015. Additional benchmarking of the POPs simulation is in progress.
The updated PAH model is described in Friedman et al. (2014).
