| Feature Update | Component | Relevant model | Contibutor(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ozone and nitrogen deposition | Chemistry fields for other models without | WACCM output for other models | Doug Kinnison | Simulations performed with 2 degrees WACCM. Output from CMIP7 runs for non interactive chemistry runs. Updated EPP forcing. Possible connection with mid-top. Saving O3, N dep, OH? |
| Soil NOx | online calculation of soil NO emissions | CESM/CAM-Chem, WACCM and MUSICA | Maria Val Martin (University of Sheffield) | Updated Soil NOx emissions (CTSM Issue #1952) |
| Short Lived Halogens (SLH) | chemistry mechanism | CESM/CAM-Chem, WACCM and MUSICA | Rafael Fenandez (ICB-CONICET), Carlos Cuevas (CSIC) | CAM7 Physics included. |
| Heterogeneous uptake on sea salt and dust | multi-phase chemistry | CESM/CAM-Chem, WACCM and MUSICA | Rafael Fenandez (ICB-CONICET), Carlos Cuevas (CSIC), Danny Leung | Heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 on sea salt and dust. Need ClNO2 (inc. in SLH mechanism). |
| Marine Organic Aerosol Emissions | emissions | CESM/CAM | Simone Tilmes | Add emissions of marine aerosols (CAM Issue #531). Two more aerosol species added to the model. Impacts cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). |
| Interactive methane | emissions | CESM/CAM-Chem, WACCM and MUSICA | Benjamin Gaubert | Carbon Tracker inversion. Wetland methane emissions are currently prescribed. |
| Nitrate aerosols | aerosol mechanism | CESM/CAM-Chem, WACCM and MUSICA | Implementation of MOSIAC and CARMA with nitrate aerosols. Danny Leung, Yunqian Zhu (NOAA). | Implementation of MOSIAC and CARMA with nitrate aerosols. |
| Chemistry on MPAS grid | chemistry | MUSICAv1 | Wenfu Tang, Behrooz Roozitalab, Ren Smith | Implementation and evaluation on MPAS dynamical core |
Long-term plans
These updates are on our radar, but either are low priority or do not have anyone assigned to work on them.
