  1. Los Alamos National Laboratory TRACE GAS SIMULATIONS IN LOS ALAMOS COSIM The Climate Ocean and Sea Ice Model (COSIM) project Computational, Theoretical and Environmental Science Divisions Marine Trace Gas Simulations in COSIM Scott Elliott, Mathew Maltrud, Shaoping Chu and Carrie Dean The Climate Ocean Sea Ice Model team, Los Alamos National Laboratory David Erickson, Climate and Carbon Research Institute, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Collaborators: NCAR, Other DOE Laboratories, Members of NOPP Paradigm, University of California and Maine, MBARI Sponsors: U.S. Department of Energy Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SCIDAC) and Climate Change Prediction Program (CCPP), National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP), University of California President’s Office, Los Alamos LDRD 1

  2. TRACE GAS MODULE • Tasked to add a modular simulator for multiple climate relevant volatiles • Initial tests on demonstration mechanisms for DMS(P), MeBr, N2O, propylene • Runs alongside DML and adopts POP 2 structure • Sulfur cycle focus of early coupling to CCSM atmosphere in CAM • Mechanism since refined through plant subclassification and cell internal regulation • Next step for the module is attachment of complete set of aerosol and ozone influencers • Hence CO photochemistry in development, NMHC fluxes evaluated for oxidant influence • Simple N2O and CH4 runs have been extended to 100 years • Recurring themes: microbial ecology, unification and automation 2

  13. TRACE GAS FUTURES • Install switches within a DMS/CO/NMHC suite • N cycle now topical, return to N2O to address de- and nitrification yields • Methane now produced in POP open ocean by archaeans, must expand to shelf zone • Other tractable compounds include OCS, H2S, NH3, isoprene, organohalogens • Aim at SOLAS relevance and entrain external experts • Continuing themes: atom/energy conservation, microbial and general complexity • Automated, unified and conservative biogeochemical preprocessing needed • Work through composition of cell classes, stoichiometries of metabolism, from the genome • Employ set theory/logic, relational data base, object orientation and CASE principles 13

CCSM(DML) carbon lumps small phytoplankton excluding the coccolithophores, which are few. Tracegas_Mod now segregates cyanophytes (low S) and phaeocystis (high S). Reductions 40-50 S are assigned to cryo/grazing protection or osmoregulation. Eukar signifies pico/nano non- bacterial plants as defined in Gregg et al. 2003. .
