Part 1.  A box model simulation. This simulation has the purpose of= assessing numerical approximation solver techniques of the gas-aqueous= chemical system.  We will also discuss the effect of the cloud chemistry= on the gas-phase species.

 

Required Simulation.

Part 1 is a box model simulation of 45N summer z =3D 1.5 km case from Lelieveld and Crutzen (1991), hereafter called LC91.

This case is to check numerical solvers of chemical mechanisms.  The idea is to implement the solver that you generally= use.  If you have a 3-dimensional model with cloud chemistry, then= use the solver in that 3-D model as a box model for this case.  Likewise use the solver from 2-dimensional and 1-dimensional models if appropriate. = If all that you use is a box model, then use it as is for this= case.  We do not want to compare each other's Gear solvers, so let's test the various numerical approximations that we employ in our multidimensional models.

Use the same conditions as given in LC91 and repeated here. Reaction= rate and equilibrium constants have been updated with JPL97 and R.= Sander's web page of Henry's Law coefficients.  We may have forgotten an O2 or H2O; they=92re not critical to solving the reaction rate.
