Documentation of photochemical mechanisms

The following files contain photochemical mechanisms used in publications or in submitted articles, including current (updated) versions. Links are also provided to outside sources (e.g. Evans et al., 2003) that are used and cited extensively in the mechanisms developed here.

Published versions (2007):

Mechanisms for 2007 published versions ( Ito et al. 2007 and Sillman et al., 2007 ) are available at a permanent site . The same mechanisms also appear on this page.

Complete listings:

Gas-phase mechanism: (published version, 2007)

For reference: The GEOS_Chem gas-phase mechanism:
The gas-phase mechanism described by Ito et al. represents an extension of the GEOS_Chem mechanism. A link to GEOS_Chem is provided here.
