Can a 'state of the art' chemistry transport model really simulate Amazonian tropospheric chemistry?: High-Resolution Chemistry Model Simulations and Analysis

The Quantifying the Amazon Isoprene Budget: Reconciling Top-down versus Bottom-up Emission Estimates project produced a unique high resolution model (GEOS-Chem version v8-03-01 - with modifications) for the Amazon, which simulated isoprene emissions and atmospheric chemistry. Model outputs associated with Barkley et al. publication is available through CEDA-BADC.



An evaluation of a nested high-resolution Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS)-Chem chemistry transport model simulation of tropospheric chemistry over tropical South America is presented. The model has been constrained with two isoprene emission inventories:



(1) the canopy-scale Model of Emissions of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGAN) and



(2) a leaf-scale algorithm coupled to the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS) dynamic vegetation model, and the model has been run using two different chemical mechanisms that contain alternative treatments of isoprene photo-oxidation.
