Description of New Soil Code: We update the YL SNOx parameterization as follows: the soil moisture and temperature dependence is decoupled allowing for a continuum of SNOx response rather than discrete wet or dry states; pulsing length and strength is modified to depend on soil moisture history rather than precipitation; N fertilizer emissions are updated to account for timing and distribution of N fertilizer based on MODIS derived seasonality; N fertilizer emissions are now allowed to respond to temperature/soil moisture and pulsing; and wet and dry deposition of ammonia (NH ), 3 ammonium (NH +), nitric acid (HNO ), nitrate (NO -), nitrogen dioxide (NO ), and peroxyacetyl 4 3 3 2 nitrate (PAN) are calculated as an additional fertilization effect on SNOx. 1. Soil NO Parameterization x -1 The current implementation of the YL scheme in GEOS-Chem produces 6.2 Tg N yr for the year 2006. SNOx is computed as a function of vegetation type (from Olson [1992] map), temperature, precipitation history, fertilizer use, and a canopy reduction factor: [ ( ( )) ] SNOx Flux = f w / d T , Aw / d biome × P(precipitat ion) + Fert × CRF(LAI , SAI ) (1) where fw/d is a constant, linear, or exponential function of soil temperature (T) and Aw/d(biome) is a coefficient to distinguish between vegetation type. The subscript w/d refers to ‘dry’ or ‘wet’ soils (Section 2.1). P(precipitation) is a scaling factor used to adjust the flux during pulsing events (Section 2.2), and Fert is fertilizer emissions which are set to 2.5% of total fertilizer applied,
