NOTE: Page under construction!

On this page we include information relevant to the persistent organic pollutant (POPs) simulation in GEOS-Chem.

Overview

Authors and collaborators

PAHs simulation

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.

This update is slated to be incorporated into GEOS-Chem v9-02 or later.
