2013 StratTropIsop/CheST (Co-ordinator: Luke Abraham)

Release candidate	Owner	UM version	Monsoon job ID	Met Office ID	Link to evaluation suite	Comments
RC1	Luke	8.2	xhkld	amekf(??)	Xhkld_eval.pdf	GA4.0+FastJX. NOy problems persist in this version. OH not good either. LiNOx in this job = 1.11408 Tg(N)/year. 11-year spin-up with analysis performed on the 12th year.
RC2	Luke	8.2	xhklk	N/A	Xhkld_eval.pdf	GA4.0+FastJX. This is a slightly updated version of xhkld, but with the RCP scenario added and the HOx recycling (and a minor change to the bit-comparability fix) added. This is configured for 2000/01/01 conditions (WMOA1b) and is initialised to UKCA fields from Alex's vn7.3 xgywn CheST job. The chemistry is identical between xgywn and xhklk. LiNOx in this job = 1.16781 Tg(N)/year. 2-year job from initial conditions, analysis performed on the 2nd year (hence poor age of air).
RC3	Luke	8.2	xhkll	N/A	Xhkld_eval.pdf	GA4.0+FastJX. Same as xhklk, but with the updated Lightning NOx routines from UKMO. LiNOx in this job = 11.57956 Tg(N)/year. 2-year job from initial conditions, analysis performed on the 2nd year (hence poor age of air).
RC4	Luke	8.2	xhklm	N/A	Xhkld_eval.pdf	GA4.0+FastJX. Same as xhklk, but with the Cambridge Lightning NOx routines. LiNOx in this job = 9.11675 Tg(N)/year. 2-year job from initial conditions, analysis performed on the 2nd year (hence poor age of air).
RC5	Luke	8.2	xhkln	N/A	None at present	GA4.0+FastJX. Same as xhklk, but setting P_no in ukca_light.F90 to half its original value. Updates/bugfix to asad_trimol.F90 to see if this improves NOy.
		8.2	N/A	amekf	None at present	Base job - GA4.0, updated rxn rates, Fast-JX, no lightning, some bugfixes.
		8.2	N/A	amekd	None at present	Base job but with offline photolysis.
		8.2	N/A	amekl	None at present	Base job but with updated lightning NOx routines.
		8.2	N/A	ameku	None at present	Base job but without updated rxn rates.
		8.2	N/A	amekv	None at present	Base job but with vn7.3 Fast-JX routines.
		8.2	N/A	amzxj	None at present	Base job but with updated lightning NOx routines and stratospheric water vapour as seen by the chemistry set to 3.8 ppmv.

2013 StratTropIsop/CheST + GLOMAP (Co-ordinator: )

Release candidate	Owner	UM version	Monsoon job ID	Met Office ID	Link to evaluation suite	Comments
		8.4	N/A	anenu	None at present	GA5 (ENDGAME) Includes plume scavenging of soluble aerosol tracers. Being assessed for tropospheric aerosol.
