Release Date: 15 Nov 2021
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:
