Appendix 6: GEOS–Chem List of Chemical Species

In this Appendix, we shall list the chemical species used for the standard GEOS–Chem "full-chemistry" simulation.

See this wiki page for a complete list of chemical species (active + inactive) in the standard GEOS–Chem chemical mechanism file globchem.dat. These species are used in the full chemistry "standard" simulation used by SMVGEAR II and KPP. Many of these species are short-lived, and do not have to be transported as GEOS–Chem tracers.

NOTE: The following chemistry mechanisms have extra species not listed here. For more information, please consult with the GEOS–Chem Oxidants and Chemistry Working Group.

  1. SOA: 59 advected tracers, with secondary organic aerosols
  2. Dicarbonyls: 75 advected tracers, with dicarbonyl chemistry
  3. Isoprene: 56 advected tracers, with the Caltech isoprene scheme.
