| Summary: | <p>We present version 4.0 of the atmospheric chemistry box
model CAABA/MECCA that now includes a number of new features: (i)
skeletal mechanism reduction, (ii) the Mainz Organic Mechanism (MOM) chemical mechanism for
volatile organic compounds, (iii) an option to include reactions from
the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM) and other chemical mechanisms,
(iv) updated isotope tagging, and (v) improved and new photolysis
modules (JVAL, RADJIMT, DISSOC). Further, when MECCA is connected to a
global model, the new feature of coexisting multiple chemistry
mechanisms (PolyMECCA/CHEMGLUE) can be used. Additional changes have
been implemented to make the code more user-friendly and to facilitate
the analysis of the model results. Like earlier versions,
CAABA/MECCA-4.0 is a community model published under the
GNU General Public License.</p> |
