What you will learn in this tutorial

During this tutorial you will learn how UKCA specifies different chemical reactions. You will then add a new reaction involving the new tracers that you have added.

Task 6.1: Add a bimolecular reaction

TASK 6.1: You should now add in the bimolecular reaction of ALICE with OH to form BOB and a secondary organic compound (labelled in UKCA as Sec_Org). You should use version 111. This reaction is given by:

Parameter Value
2.70E-11
0.00
-390.00

Adding new Chemical Reactions

UKCA currently uses two different methods of defining the chemical reactions solved in the model. The first is a Backward Euler solver, and is used for the RAQ and StdTrop chemistry schemes where the solver itself is created by a code-writer. The second makes use of the ASAD chemical integration software package, and is used for the CheT/TropIsop, CheS/Strat, and CheST/StratTrop chemistry schemes. ASAD can use many different solvers, although currently it uses a symbolic Backward Euler solver with Newton-Raphson iteration, which is known within UKCA as the "Newton Raphson". In this tutorial we will only consider the ASAD framework, as this is easily extended by a user. Further details on the solver implementation can be found in Esentürk et al. (2018)[1].

ASAD considers four different types of chemical reactions: bimolecular reactions, termolecular reactions, heterogeneous reactions, and photolysis reactions. To make changes and add reactions you will need to make changes to the UKCA source code which can be found in

vn11.8_your_branch_name/src/atmosphere/UKCA

During this tutorial you will be tasked with adding a new reaction into your branch.

Code Changes

ukca_chem_master.F90

You will need to add your reaction(s) to the appropriate array within the ukca_chem_master.F90 module. Details covering what is required for each reaction type are below.

ukca_config_defs_mod.F90

Within the IF blocks for each chemistry scheme are variables called nr_therm (for all bimolecular, termolecular, and heterogeneous reactions) and nr_phot (for photolysis reactions). When adding reactions you should increment the appropriate variable for your configuration.

While these values are not used for the ASAD Newton Raphson based chemistry schemes, they are used by other schemes which use different solver (a hard-coded Backward Euler), which are the RAQ, Standard Tropospheric, and one configuration of the offline-oxidants scheme that is used to drive GLOMAP-mode in Global Atmosphere configurations.

Biomolecular Reactions

For most bimolecular reactions, it is sufficient to provide the , , and coefficients that are used to compute the rate coefficient from the Arrhenius expression

Bimolecular Reaction Definition

The bimolecular reactions are defined in the ukca_chem_master.F90 module using the ratb_t1 Fortran type specification, and are held in arrays. At the end of this routine the ratb_defs_master array is created from these, and if that scheme is selected in UKCA these reactions are copied across into the master ratb_defs array.

The format of this ratb_t1 type (defined in ukca_chem_defs_mod.F90) is

ratb_t1(N, 'Reactant 1','Reactant 2','Product 1 ','Product 2 ','Product 3 ',&
'Product 4 ',  ,  ,  , Fraction of Product 1 produced, Fraction of Product 2 produced,  
Fraction of Product 3 produced, Fraction of Product 4 produced, SCHEME, QUALIFIER, DISQUALIFIER, VN), & 

If fractional products are not required for a reaction, then the fraction of each product formed should be set to 0.00. If fractional products are required for any one of the products then the fraction of each product formed should be set to its correct value.

The settings for N, SCHEME, QUALIFIER, DISQUALIFIER, and VN are the same as in the adding new tracers tutorial, although here N should be incremented for each new reaction, where there might be the same reaction specified several times with changes to reaction rates or even species.

The specifications of the individual reactions are done as, e.g.

! B060 JPL2011

  • The first reaction above takes its kinetic data from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The rate for this can be found on page 1-10 (with further description on page 1-51) of the JPL2011 document.
  • The second reaction in these examples takes its kinetic data from IUPAC. Going to this website, this reaction is defined here.
  • The third reaction shows the use of fractional products.

You can see that in the instances above, different chemistry schemes use slightly different rates or species, as may be required by the scheme and species considered.

When adding new reactions you will need to increment the size of the array holding the ratb_t1 type (n_bimol_master). Due to the large number of bimolecular reactions, the array containing them has been broken up into several blocks. If you are not adding new reactions to the last block (for instance, if you are adding a variation on an existing reaction) you will need to increment the stride as well, e.g.

n_ratb_s = n_ratb_e+1
n_ratb_e = n_ratb_s+49
ratb_defs_master(n_ratb_s:n_ratb_e) = (/                                       &

would become

n_ratb_s = n_ratb_e+1
n_ratb_e = n_ratb_s+50
ratb_defs_master(n_ratb_s:n_ratb_e) = (/                                       &

If there is a reaction that is an exception to the general Arrhenius equation then special code needs to be placed in the asad_bimol.F90 routine, which is held in the UKCA/ source-code directory.

Termolecular Reactions

As well as defining reactions involving a third body, the termolecular rate definition can also be used to define unimolecular reactions.

The pressure and temperature dependent rate, , of a termolecular reaction is given by

where the low pressure rate constant is given by

and the high pressure rate constant is given by

Termolecular Reaction Definition

The termolecular reactions are defined in the ukca_chem_master.F90 module using the ratt_t1 Fortran type specification and are held in the ratt_defs_master array.

To format of this ratt_t1 type is

ratt_t(N,'Reactant 1','Reactant 2','Product 1 ','Product 2 ', , &
,  ,  , ,  ,  , Fraction of Product 1 produced, Fraction of Product 2 produced,SCHEME,QUALIFIER,
DISQUALIFIER,VN), & 

and as in rabt_t1, where the fraction of a product should be set to 0.0 if this functionality does not need to be used.

The settings for N, SCHEME, QUALIFIER, DISQUALIFIER, and VN are the same as in the adding new tracers tutorial, although here N should be incremented for each new reaction, where there might be the same reaction specified several times with changes to reaction rates or even species.

The value is used to define the value by

If then
else

as may or may not be highly temperature dependent.

Examples of these reactions are

! T004 JPL 2011
ratt_t1(4,'O(1D)     ','N2        ','N2O       ','m         ',     0.0,        &
  2.80e-36, -0.90, 0.00,  0.00e+00,  0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, st+cs,0,0,107),       &
! JPL 2003
ratt_t1(4,'O(1D)     ','N2        ','N2O       ','m         ',     0.0,        &
  3.50e-37, -0.60, 0.00,  0.00e+00,  0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, s,0,0,107) ,          &
! T005 JPL 2011
ratt_t1(5,'BrO       ','NO2       ','BrONO2    ','m         ',     0.6,        &
  5.20e-31, -3.20, 0.00,  6.90e-12,  0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, st+cs,0,0,107),       &
ratt_t1(5,'BrO       ','NO2       ','BrONO2    ','m         ',   327.0,        &
  4.70e-31, -3.10, 0.00,  1.40e-11, -1.2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, s,0,0,107) ,          &


To add new termolecular reactions you will need to append equivalent lines for the new reactions to the end of the ratt_defs_master array (increasing the array size n_ratt_master accordingly). If there is any special code that needs to be added, this should be placed in the asad_trimol.F90 routine, which is held in the UKCA/ source-code directory.

Heterogeneous Reactions

Heterogeneous reactions are those that occur on aerosol surfaces. There is no functional form defined for these reactions, with special code needed to be added for each case.

Heterogeneous Reaction Definition

The heterogeneous reactions are defined in the ukca_chem_master.F90 module using the rath_t1 Fortran type specification, usually in one array (rath_defs_master).

To format of this rath_t1 type is

rath_t(N,'Reactant 1','Reactant 2','Product 1 ','Product 2 ','Product 3 ',&
'Product 4 ', Fraction of Product 1 produced, Fraction of Product 2 produced, Fraction of Product 3 produced, 
Fraction of Product 4 produced,SCHEME,QUALIFIER,DISQUALIFIER,VN), & 

i.e. there is no rate information provided. For reactions on PSCs special code has been added to the routines in ukca_hetero_mod.F90, and for other reactions there is code in asad_hetero.F90.

The settings for N, SCHEME, QUALIFIER, DISQUALIFIER, and VN are the same as in the adding new tracers tutorial, although here N should be incremented for each new reaction, where there might be the same reaction specified several times with changes to reaction rates or even species.

Examples of this type are

rath_t1(5,'N2O5      ','HCl       ','Cl        ','NO2       ','HONO2     ',    &
'          ', 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, s+st+cs,hp,0,107),                   &
rath_t1(6,'ClONO2    ','HBr       ','BrCl      ','HONO2     ','          ',    &
'          ', 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, s+st+cs,eh,0,111),                   &

To add new heterogeneous reactions you will need to append equivalent lines for the new reactions to the end of the rath_defs_master array (increasing the array size n_het_master accordingly), before adding code to either ukca_hetero_mod.F90 (for stratospheric reactions) or asad_hetero.F90 (for tropospheric reactions).

In the above block you can also see the use of the chemical mechanism version specification.

Photolysis Reactions

These define a reaction where a chemical compound is broken down by photons. There is no functional form defined for this type of reaction. Instead, either (in the troposphere) input files are used to define the reaction rates for each species, while (in the stratosphere) on-line look-up tables are generated for the rates for each species, or a separate photolysis code, Fast-JX, is used to interactively calculate the rate of reaction throughout the the whole atmosphere (for Fast-JX). These interactive schemes are preferred as they take the effect of aerosols or clouds into account at each timestep, allowing for more feedbacks to be investigated. In the upper stratosphere there are some wavelength regions that Fast-JX does not consider, and so the 3D on-line look-up tables are also used for these regions.

Tropospheric Off-Line Photolysis

If Fast-JX is not being used, then the off-line two-dimensional (zonally average) tropospheric photolysis is used (for all schemes). It is based on the work of Hough (1988)[2] and Law et al (1998)[3].

This scheme makes use of datafiles which define the reaction rate for a particular species (e.g. H2O2), or if no rate is known, a nil rate can be used. For vn10.4 these files can be found in

$UMDIR/vn11.8/ctldata/UKCA/tropdata/photol

To use this scheme set the value of i_ukca_photol by clicking 2D Photolysis Scheme. You will then need to give the location of the files (above). The code controlling this scheme is held in ukca_phot2d.F90.

It is advised that this scheme is no longer used, and Fast-JX interactive photolysis should be used instead.

Stratospheric Look-Up Table Photolysis

In a chemistry scheme which has stratospheric chemistry, such as CheS/Strat and CheST/StratTrop, if interactive photolysis is not used, then above 300hPa the look-up table approach of Lary and Pyle (1991)[4] is used (below 300hPa the tropospheric scheme described above is used). To use this scheme set the value of i_ukca_photol by clicking 2D Photolysis Scheme. The code for this scheme is held in ukca_strat_update.F90.

Interactive Photolysis

The original Fast-J scheme (Wild et al, 2000)[5] uses 7 different wavelength bins appropriate for the troposphere, and the updated Fast-JX scheme (Neu et al, 2007)[6] adds up to an extra 11 bins allowing use in the stratosphere. At present only Fast-JX is available, although some previous UM versions used the older Fast-J scheme as well.

To use this scheme set the value of i_ukca_photol by clicking FastJ-X. You will then need to give the location of several input data files used by this scheme.

Further details on how the the Fast-JX scheme is used in UKCA, can be found in Telford et al (2013)[7].

The Fast-JX data files are held in

$UMDIR/vn11.8/ctldata/UKCA/fastj

on ARCHER.

Photolysis Reaction Definition

The photolysis reactions are defined in the ukca_chem_master.F90 module using the ratj_t1 Fortran type specification and held in the ratj_defs_master array.

To format of this ratj_t1 type is

ratj_t1(N,'Reactant 1','Reactant 2','Product 1 ','Product 2 ','Product 3 ',&
'Product 4 ', Fraction of Product 1 produced, Fraction of Product 2 produced, Fraction of Product 3 produced, 
Fraction of Product 4 produced, Quantum Yield, Look-up Label,SCHEME,QUALIFIER,DISQUALIFIER,VN), & 

The Look-Up Label is used to define the file used for the 2D photolysis, and is used by Fast-JX to find the correct values for each species in the input data files. This is a 10-character string, although only the first 7 characters are read by Fast-JX. Reactant 2 will always be PHOTON.

The settings for N, SCHEME, QUALIFIER, DISQUALIFIER, and VN are the same as in the adding new tracers tutorial, although here N should be incremented for each new reaction, where there might be the same reaction specified several times with changes to reaction rates or even species.

Examples of this type are

     '          ', 0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0, 100.000,'jhchoa    ',s,0,0,107) ,          &

To add new photolysis reactions you will need to append equivalent lines for the new reactions to the end of the ratj_defs_master array (increasing the array size n_ratj_master accordingly), adding new files/code as necessary as described above.

Checklist

Add the new reaction into the correct reaction type array in ukca_chem_master.F90, incrementing the size of the array accordingly.
Increment the value of nr_therm and/or nr_phot in ukca_config_defs_mod.F90.
If required, add special code to the asad_bimol.F90, asad_trimol.F90, ukca_hetero_mod.F90, or asad_hetero.F90 routines.
For photolysis reactions, further work is required to calculate new cross sections. Code will also need to be added to ukca_strat_update.F90.
