Overview

This page is part of the Chemical Model (CHEM) documentation.
It contains a listing of setup examples.
For an overview of all CHEM-related pages, see the CHEM main page.

Example setups

The PALM-4U subdirectory TESTS/cases contains some sample setups for different application types. An setup for a very small urban area with the 'phstatp' mechanism can be found in 'urban_environment' and 'urban_environment_restart'.

An example setup with two passive tracers for the small test_urban model domain is attached to this page (Attachment test_urban_chem_passive.tar).

Further setups are attached for a 1km x 1km model domain with 10 m grid width, which is centered around the Ernst-Reuter-Platz in Berlin . For this domain, example input files are supplied for two chemistry settings:

two passive compounds ('passive')
the 'smog' mechanism

Please note that PALM-4U comes by default with the code for the photostationay equilibrium between NO, NO2 and O3 plus one passive tracer, i.e. chem_gashase_mod.f90 is prepared for 'phstatp'. In order to run PALM-4U e.g. with the 'smog' mechanism, copy the chem_gashase_mod.f90, which is supplied in UTIL/chemistry/gasphase_preproc/mechanisms/def_smog into SOURCE (or execute run_kpp4palm.ksh -m smog).

So far, all example setups are supplied for 'PARAMETERIZED' emissions. Example emissions files for 'PREPROCESSED' and 'DEFAULT' emissions will be supplied here at a later time.
