RC1 Luke 8.2 xhkld amekf(??) Pdficon small.png Xhkld_eval.pdf Info circle.png 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 Pdficon small.png Xhklk_eval.pdf Info circle.png 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 Pdficon small.png Xhkll_eval.pdf Info circle.png 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 Pdficon small.png Xhklm_eval.pdf Info circle.png 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 Pdficon small.png Xhkln_eval_yr2.pdf Info circle.png 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. LiNOx in this job = 5.69851 Tg(N)/year. Job sent off for a 10-year run.
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.
