What you will learn in this Tutorial

In this tutorial you will learn how the wet deposition of chemical species is handelled in UKCA. You will then add-in the wet deposition of one of your new tracers.

Task 8.1: Add wet deposition of a species

Task 8.1: Add in wet deposition for BOB, using the following values:

$\ k(298)\$	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)\$	$\ k(298)$ for the 1st dissociation	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)$ for the 1st dissociation	$\ k(298)$ for the 2nd dissociation	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)$ for the 2nd dissociation
$\ 0.21\times 10^{+06}\$	$\ 0.87\times 10^{+04}\$	$\ 0.2\times 10^{+02}\$	$\ 0.0\$	$\ 0.0\$	$\ 0.0\$

Adding Wet Deposition

The formulation used in UKCA is described in Giannakopoulos (1999)[1]. This scheme uses the following formula to calculate the effective Henry's Law coefficient

$H_{eff}=k\left(298\right)\exp \left(-{\frac {\Delta H}{R}}\left[\left({\frac {1}{T}}\right)-\left({\frac {1}{298}}\right)\right]\right)$

where $k\left(298\right)$ is the rate constant at 298K.

During this tutorial you will be tasked with adding the wet deposition of one of your new tracers.

Turning on Wet Deposition for a Species

Chemistry Scheme Specification

Within the UKCA code, whether a species is wet deposited or not is controlled in the ukca_chem_master.F90 module. In the chch_defs_master array there are lines like

!  10 DD: 7,WD: 4,
chch_t1(10,'HONO2     ',1,'TR        ','          ',1,1,0,TI+S+T+ST+R,0,0,107),&
!  11 DD: 8,WD: 5,
chch_t1(11,'H2O2      ',1,'TR        ','          ',1,1,0,TI+S+T+ST+OL+R,0,0,&
   107),& 

Where the 1 in the 7th column turns on wet deposition of that species (being 0 otherwise). You will need to change the 0 to a 1 for the species that you wish to now wet deposit.

Setting Henry's Law values

In the ukca_chem_master.F90 module the parameters required to calculate $H_{eff}$ are held in the henry_defs_master array (of defined size n_wet_master), and has format

N	'SPECIES   '
$\ k(298)\$	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)\$	$\ k(298)$ for the 1st dissociation	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)$ for the 1st dissociation	$\ k(298)$ for the 2nd dissociation	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)$ for the 2nd dissociation
SCHEME	QUALIFIER	DISQUALIFIER	VN

Columns 3 and 4 are used if the species dissociates in the aqueous phase. In this case, $H_{eff}$ is further multiplied by a factor of

$1+{\frac {k(aq)}{H^{+}}}$

where

$k(aq)=k\left(298\right)\exp \left(-{\frac {\Delta H}{R}}\left[\left({\frac {1}{T}}\right)-\left({\frac {1}{298}}\right)\right]\right)$

and column 3 contains the values of $k(298)$ and column 4 contains the value of $-{\Delta H}/R$. Similarly, if the species dissociates a second time then a further factor of $1+k(aq)/H^{+}$ is applied, where this value of $k(aq)$ is calculated from the values of $k(298)$ and $-{\Delta H}/R$ in columns 5 and 6.

Note: As with the 2D dry deposition values in depvel_defs_master, the order of henry_defs_master also assumes that the values are in the same order as the species (that wet deposit) in the chch_defs_master array.

Examples for this array are

!    4  
wetdep(4,'HONO2     ',&
(/0.21e+06,0.87e+04,0.20e+02,0.00e+00,0.00e+00,0.00e+00/),TI+T+ST+R,0,0,107),&

(/0.21e+06,0.87e+04,0.157e+02,0.00e+00,0.00e+00,0.00e+00/),S,0,0,107),&
!    5
wetdep(5,'H2O2      ',&
(/0.83e+05,0.74e+04,0.24e-11,-0.373e+04,0.e+00,0.e+00/),TI+T+ST+OL+R,0,0,107),&
wetdep(5,'H2O2      ',&
(/0.83e+05,0.74e+04,0.22e-11,-0.373e+04,0.00e+00,0.00e+00/),S,0,0,107),&

You were given the task

• Add in wet deposition for BOB, using the following values:

$\ k(298)\$	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)\$	$\ k(298)$ for the 1st dissociation	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)$ for the 1st dissociation	$\ k(298)$ for the 2nd dissociation	$\ -\left({\Delta H}/R\right)$ for the 2nd dissociation
$\ 0.21\times 10^{+06}\$	$\ 0.87\times 10^{+04}\$	$\ 0.2\times 10^{+02}\$	$\ 0.0\$	$\ 0.0\$	$\ 0.0\$
