GCHP 13.3.0 contains the following updates:

  • Gas-phase chemistry updates:
    • Addition of aromatic VOC chemistry
    • Addition of C2H2 and C2H4 chemistry
    • Addition of CH3O2 + OH reaction
    • Addition of HMS chemistry
  • Heterogenous chemistry updates:
    • Cleaning up hetchem reaction rate computations for clarity and efficiency
    • Updates to IONO2 hydrolysis reaction following Wang et al. (2021)
    • Revise gamma(N2O5) computation; cap A at 3.2e-8
    • Fixed typo in routine CloudHet
    • Fixed typos in ClNO2 hetchem reactions: HNO2 should be a product, not HNO3
    • Add better error trap criteria to prevent reaction rate computations from blowing up
  • Emissions updates:
    • Add option to use NEI2016 emissions over the US (turned off by default)
    • Avoid double counting of acetone source from monoterpenes when using online MEGAN
    • Update volcano emissions to May 2020 and add climatology
    • Updated offline dust emissions from Meng et al. (2021)
      • NOTE: benchmark simulations use online dust emissions instead
    • Send all HEMCO error messages to GEOS-Chem log
  • Other updates:
    • Updated aerosol dry deposition
    • The ObsPack diagnostic can now use the ?ADV? Wildcard
  • Features only affecting GCHP:
    • Include thread number in GEOS-Chem and HEMCO error messages
    • GCHP Adjoint updates
