Commands to run this model: 1. Unzip the file: tar -xzvf iNRACM.zip 2. Go to the folder "simulate": cd simulate 3. Edit the file "date.input" for simulation of photolysis rates (see Note 1 for details) 4. Compile photo module: gfortran photoRACM.f 5. Simulate photolysis rates: ./a.out (then enter the input file "date.input") 6. Generate photolysis rates for 15NOy: python arrfactor.py (see Note 2 for details) 7. Edit the file "plume_input" for simulation of concentrations (see Note 3 for details) 8. Compile sbox module: gfortran 15Nsbox.f 9. Simulate concentrations: ./a.out (then enter the input file "plume_input") Note 1: Variables in "date.input" Cloud base (1-50): 20 #Do NOT change typically, the number is the layer order# Cloud top (1-51): 30 #Do NOT change typically# Date (yymmdd): Longitude (Real): #Negative number for Western hemisphere Latitude (Real): #Negative number for Southern hemisphere Starting time (GMT): 3.0 #GMT-Greenwich Mean Time Delta time: 0.5 #Step length# Stopping time (GMT): 21 The starting time and stopping time are to constrain the start and ending time of daylight (but the real daytime length could still be a function of the latitude and date), which are set to be 3 and 21 for the Greenwich site, respectively. Therefore, when using the real longitude, MAKE SURE the starting and stopping time are converted from the local time to the GMT; while when using the longitude of zero, the starting and stopping time can be the default values of 3 and 21, respectively. To make things easy, for each run, you can just put the longitude as zero and stick to using the default values of 3 and 21 for the starting time and stopping time, respectively. Note 2: arrfactor.py Isotope factor (showing the fractionation factor, Z can be considered as 15N) ZO2: 1.0042 #Fractionation factor α for the NO2 photolysis# Note 3: Variables in "plume_input" START-TIME: #The start time of the simulation# END-TIME: PRINT-INTERVALS: #The same as the DETA TIME in Step 1 Initial concentrations ppb - the initial concentrations in ppb at the START-TIME Inorganic Compounds-Z can be considered as 15N, 15NO concentration that can be derived from NO concentration by adopting the 15N/14N ratio in air or by measurements. Organic Compounds-the concentrations of individual species can be derived from the total VOCs concentration by assuming the relative abundances or by measurements Emissions ppm min-emission data in the unit of ppm/min Note 4: How to use results to determine the nitrate Δ17O In the RESULT (PlumYYMMDD) spreadsheet, (1) QNOX-the amount of NO2 produced from O3+NO reaction (2) RNOX-the amount of NO2 produced from NO+organic proxy radicals reactions (3) ANOX-the amount of nitrate produced from HO+NO2 reaction (4) BNOY-the amount of nitrate produced from NO3+organic carbons reactions (5) CNOY-the amount of nitrate produced from the N2O5 reaction: Finally, calculate the ratios QNOX/(QNOX+RNOX), ANOX/(ANOX+BNOY+CNOY), BNOY/(ANOX+BNOY+CNOY) and CNOY/(ANOX+BNOY+CNOY) to determine the nitrate Δ17O
