For the gas-phase chemicals, the chemists work with the number density of all of the species. Number density has a lower dependence on the context of the host model. I.e.,...

As far as wet/dry/mass/volume conversions go, those are all scheme/model-specific decisions, as the denominator depends upon the scheme’s assumptions as to what the denominator is.

@fvitt Regarding constituent information. There is a proposed standard for chemistry mechanisms and chemical information at https://github.com/NCAR/MechanismToCode/tree/master/schemas. What do you think of the information and the way that information is...

Regarding the question of "do we want to have a water_species_array"? I can see the need for that among the parameterizations that need to know that data. For example, see...

@fvitt @mattldawson The JSON mechanism specification includes the list of molecule names and the molecule properties (molecular weight, henry's law coefficients, activity coefficients, and is extensible for other properties). The...

@gold2718 > The MI in MICM is supposed to stand for model independent so this assumption seems ill founded. I think it is better to think of chemistry as specifying...

@gold2718 As we have discussed, the physics parameterizations have listed the "standard physical gas-phase species". But I'm still a bit confused. Where does the wet-removal data for Ozone come from?...

@fvitt @gold2718 At the moment our proposed standard allows run-time representation of heterogeneous data for (for example) wet removal. Bases and acids have different types of data to initialize those...
