Transition to GEOS–4

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy4

Transition to GEOS–4GEOS–4 Overview As of October 31, 2002, GEOS–4 is now the “operational”

data product generated by NASA GMAO

GEOS–4 is very different than GEOS–3 in many ways: GEOS–4 uses a different GCM than before (NCAR fvCCM) GEOS–4 is a hybrid grid (55 vertical levels) GEOS–4 has a 1 x 1.25 horizontal grid (not 1 x 1!) Several GEOS–4 quantities have different units than GEOS–3 Some GEOS–4 fields did not exist in GEOS–3 Et cetera …

GEOS–CHEM had to evolve to deal with GEOS–4!!

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy6

Transition to GEOS–4Differences from GEOS–3 Some GEOS–4 quantities can be very different than

GEOS–3, for example: Cloud optical depth & cloud mass fluxes Surface wetness, snow cover, roughness height Precipitation fields

How does this impact a GEOS–CHEM simulation? Cloud optical depth affects J-Values Cloud mass fluxes affects cloud convection Surface wetness & snow cover affects dust mobilization Roughness height affects dry deposition Precipitation affects rainout & washout

GWET = surface wetnessranges from 0 (dry) to 1 (totally wet)

GWET has important implications for dust mobilization. Where it’s wet you

don’t have dust, but mud – this suppresses dust mobilization!

GEOS–4 is much wetter in Africa, SE

Asia & Americas!

Transition to GEOS–4

Roughness height (Z0) is a function of land type and is used for dry deposition computations.

The differences in roughness height indicate that GEOS–4 uses a much different land-surface model than GEOS–3. (Don’t know if it’s better!)

Transition to GEOS–4Differences in the WINDS Synoptic values (GEOS–3) Averaged values (GEOS–4)

U and V winds, Specific Humidity, Temperature, Vis. Albedo

GEOS–4 winds required brand-new transport code We added a totally new version of TPCORE (cf. S-J Lin) We also installed the LLNL P-Fixer (cf. Phil Cameron-Smith)

TPCORE mass-flux diags were rewritten for GEOS–4 Brendan Field recently did this; will be added in v7–01–02

Nested grid does not yet work with GEOS–4 New TPCORE has yet to be modified for boundary conditions Also, GEOS–4 horizontal grid is 1 x 1.25, not 1 x 1

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy12

Transition to GEOS–4Differences in CLOUD CONVECTION GEOS–4 cloud convection fields are totally different

GEOS–3 style CLDMAS and DTRAIN are no longer provided

GEOS–4 uses the NCAR convection scheme (cf. P Rasch) Hack (shallow) convection: HKETA, HKBETA Zhang/McFarlane (deep) convection: ZMMU, ZMMD, ZMEU Scheme includes both updrafts & downdrafts

New GEOS–4 met fields required new convection code Convection code had to be stripped out of MATCH model We also had to re-install the wet scavenging in cloud updrafts Almost all of this work was done by Shiliang Wu

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy13

Transition to GEOS–4Differences between GEOS–4 and GEOS–4 To complicate matters, there were 2 versions of GEOS–4

Version 3: (GMAO: 1.3 r7) was made from 2002 thru Jan 2004 Version 4: (GMAO: 1.4 r2) was introduced in Jan 2004

GMAO says V4 contains improvements over V3: New Land Model Improvements to Skin Temperature analysis NOAA-17 satellite assimilation MODIS cloud track winds assimilation over the poles Relative Humidity fix near surface Diag wind output stream for stratospheric transport customers

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy14

Transition to GEOS–4Differences between GEOS–4 and GEOS–4 An annoyance: the averaging periods for certain fields

were different in GEOS–4 V4 than in GEOS–4 V3 In GEOS–4 v4, the averaging periods for “A6” fields are the

same as in the GEOS–1, GEOS–STRAT, and GEOS–3

In GEOS–4 v3, the averaging periods for the “A6” fields are shifted 3 hours later than V4.

“A6” fields = 6-hour average fields. In GEOS–4, these include winds, temperature, specific humidity.

IF YOU THINK IT’S CONFUSING, YOU’RE NOT ALONE!

Transition to GEOS–4Differences between GEOS–4 and GEOS–4 File formats between GMAO “raw” data files vary

GEOS–4 V3: most are HDF–EOS; some are HDF GEOS–4 V4: all files are HDF–EOS

Problems To process the GEOS–4 V3 files, I had to write new F90 code

that could read the HDF data files. When GEOS–4 V4 was introduced, I didn’t need to use the code

to read the HDF reader code anymore. Some of the file and variable names in GEOS–4 V4 were

different from V3, which required me to modify the scripts & code that I used to process the data.

THIS WAS VERY TIME CONSUMING !!!!!

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy17

Transition to GEOS–4GEOS–CHEM v6–01–05 was 1st GEOS–4 compatible version This version contained the following features:

Release Date: 09 April 2004 Could only support GEOS–4 V3 met fields Introduced support for compiling on Altix platform Contained new GEOS–4 transport code & LLNL P-fixer Contained new convection code for GEOS–4 met fields GEOS–4 Lightning emissions are now scaled to 6 Tg N/yr Bug fix: ACET emissions are the same independent of grid Other fixes here and there to enable GEOS–4 met fields

A 1-yr benchmark was done with v6–01–05 (year 2003) See: www-as.harvard.edu/chemistry/trop/geos/geos_1yr.html

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy18

Transition to GEOS–4Philosophy of 1–year benchmarks: Conduct simulations that are as similar as possible with two

sets of met. data - from different GCMs.

Met. data: GEOS–3 run for 2001, GEOS–4 (V3) run for 2003 (same year would have been ideal)

Chemical mechanism and reaction rates: Identical

Emissions: Identical—anthropogenic, biomass burning Scaled to the same annual total—isoprene, NOx from lightning

OH changes

by approx 10% from

GEOS–3 to GEOS–4!!

O3 P&L are 16–18%larger in GEOS-4

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy20

Transition to GEOS–4

Why did OH change so much?

It is not easy to change mean OH by 10% when the chemistry is the same, water vapor is similar, the ozone column is the same.

One likely candidate is the cloud optical depth, as these are very different in the tropics.

Transition to GEOS–4GEOS–4 Summary GEOS–4 V4 is now the stable, operational GMAO data set

We have GEOS–4 V4 data for 2004 to date GEOS–4 V3 is now obsolete; 2003 data will be replaced

GMAO is reanalyzing GEOS–4 data for years prior to 2004 This is the CERES reanalysis product Soon we will have GEOS–4 V4 data from 2001 thru 2004

GEOS–CHEM v6 & higher are now GEOS–4 compatible

GEOS–CHEM OH & Ozone are higher with GEOS–4 Likely culprit: lower GEOS–4 cloud optical depths

A Summary of Recent Scientific Upgrades

to GEOS–CHEM

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy24

Scientific UpgradesScientific Upgrades to GEOS–CHEM The transition to GEOS–4 took longer than planned

For all of the reasons mentioned previously, plus… Spin-up simulation w/ offline Tagged Ox was necessary in order

to generate initial conditions w/ Ox in steady-state (for Synoz)

In the meantime, several additional scientific upgrades had become mature, but were languishing in the pipeline Black Carbon and Organic Carbon Aerosols (R. Park) Secondary Organic Aerosols (H. Liao, CALTECH) Desert Dust Aerosols (D. Fairlie) Sea Salt Aerosols and SO2 Emissions from Ships (B. Alexander)

These upgrades were fast-tracked to be ready for ICARTT

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy25

Scientific UpgradesBlack Carbon & Organic Carbon Aerosols (cf. Rokjin Park): Adds 4 more transported tracers to previous fullchem sim

Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Black Carbon Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Organic Carbon

Emissions: Anthropogenic: From Bond et al 2004 (default) or

Cooke et al 1999 with seasonality imposed by R. Park Biomass: From GEOS–CHEM (default) or Bond et al 2004

Chemistry: A fraction of hydrophobic BC & OC hydrophilic BC & OC Hydrophobic BC & OC dry deposit Hydrophilic BC & OC dry deposit and wet deposit BC & OC aerosols also affect J-values and het chem rates

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy26

Scientific UpgradesBlack Carbon & Organic Carbon Aerosols (cf. Rokjin Park): Emission totals with GEOS–4 2003 (Tg C/yr) are below 20% of total BC emitted is Hydrophilic 50% of total OC emitted is Hydrophilic

Total OC 2.44 6.48 18.70 12.04 39.66

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy27

Scientific UpgradesSecondary Organic Aerosols (cf. Hong Liao, Caltech): Adds 9 more transported tracers

ALPH: a-pinene, b-pinene, sabinene, carene, terpenoid ketones LIMO: Limonene ALCO: myrcene, terpenoid alcohols, ocimene SOG1: lump of gas products of ALPH+LIMO+TERP HC ox. SOG2: gas product of ALCO oxidation SOG3: gas product of SESQ oxidation SOA1: lump of aerosol products of ALPH+LIMO+TERP) HC ox. SOA2: aerosol product of ALCO oxidation SOA3: aerosol product of SESQ oxidation

You can use these in both the FULLCHEM or OFFLINE AEROSOL simulations!

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy28

Scientific UpgradesDesert Dust Aerosols (cf. Duncan Fairlie): Adds 4 more transported tracers to G–C fullchem sim

Dust bins w/ Reff = 0.7, 1.4, 2.4, and 4.5 µm (NOTE: there are 4 transport dust bins, but 7 FAST–J bins)

Emissions: Source function from either the DEAD model (C. Zender) or

from GOCART (P. Ginoux) can be used. DEAD is the default. DEAD scheme is more detailed than the GOCART scheme, and

also takes as input more physical fields

Chemistry: Dust aerosols both dry settle and dry deposit Dust aerosols also affect J-values and het chem rates

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy29

Scientific UpgradesDesert Dust Aerosols (cf. Duncan Fairlie): GEOS–4 dust emissions are 3 – 4 X lower than GEOS–3

This may be due to the higher surface wetness in GEOS–4 Duncan is currently looking into this…

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy30

Scientific UpgradesSea Salt Aerosols (cf. Becky Alexander): Adds 2 more transported tracers to G–C fullchem sim

Accumulation Mode: Reff = 0.1 – 2.5 µm• NOTE: Accumulation mode seasalt should REALLY be 0.1 – 0.5

µm. This will be the default in v7–01–02. Coarse Mode: Reff = 2.5 – 10.0 µm

Emissions: Uses parameterization from Monahan et al (1996) as described

by Gong et al (1997) (Ask Becky to explain!)

Chemistry: Sea salt aerosols wet settle, wet deposit, and dry deposit Sea salt aerosols also affect J-values and het chem rates

GEOS–CHEM v7–01–02:New User Interface!

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy37

GEOS–CHEM v7–01–02 Logistical shortcomings in existing GEOS–CHEM versions: GEOS–CHEM user interface is too confusing!

Switches have to be set in 6 or 7 files to specify output options It is easy to make mistakes It is hard to add new functionality There is LOTS OF HISTORICAL BAGGAGE in the input files There is a steep learning curve for GEOS–CHEM users

Timeseries diagnostics need rewriting Tracer #’s were not consistent between ND49, ND50, ND51 ND48 station timeseries diagnostic output is hard to understand Timeseries diagnostics were not parallelized

06 October 2004GEOS-CHEM: The Agony and the Ecstacy38

GEOS–CHEM v7–01–02 Existing GEOS–CHEM user input files:

input.geos: specifies start & end dates; turn operations on/off input.ctm: schedule diagnostics and dates for output inptr.ctm: specifies tracer names & molecular weights tracer.dat: specifies which tracer constituents are emitted prodloss.dat: specifies prod/loss families for diagnostic output diag.dat: specifies which tracers you want to print out timeseries.dat: specifies options for ND49, ND50, ND51

These are now all rolled into a single file! The new input.geos

Some “sneak peeks” of the new input.geos file follow…

Transition to GEOS–4GEOS–4 vertical grid is hybrid; GEOS–3 is pure-sigma

Pure-sigma formula for computing pressure:1) P(I,J,L) = σ(L) * ( Ps(I,J) – PTOP ) + PTOP

Hybrid formula for computing pressure:2) P(I,J,L) = ( Bp(L) * Ps(I,J) ) + Ap(L)

The pure-sigma formula can be expressed in hybrid terms if: Bp(L) = σe(L) and Ap(L) = PTOP for all L

All instances of Eq. 1 in the code had to be replaced by Eq. 2
