 The main routines and the Driver of the chemistry module is included in chemistry_model_mod.f90.
 
-The module chem_gasphase_mod.f90, where the gas phase chemistry rate equations are solved within PALM4U depends on the chosen chemical mechanism. chem_gasphase_mod.f90 is generated by a preprocessor that is based on the Kinetic Pre-Processor KPP (Damian et al., 2002, Sandu et al., 2006), Release 2.2.3 from November 2012 (http://people.cs.vt.edu/asandu/Software/Kpp/, kpp-2.2.3.tar.gz) and an adapted version of the KPP postprocessor KP4 (Jöckel et al, 2010). This adapted Version of kp4 which converts the KPP-generated code to a PALM4U module is named kpp4palm.
