>to the lower thermosphere. WACCM is based on the Community 
>Atmosphere Model (CAM) and includes additional physics and chemistry 
>that are important in the middle and upper atmosphere.
>
>On June8 , 10 am, FL0 2512, Doug Kinnison (ACD/NCAR) will give a 
>chemistry tutorial specific to WACCM3. The following aspects of the

>1) Preprocessor
>2) Numerical Solution Approach
>3) Chemical Mechanism
>* Middle Atmosphere Mechanism
>* Troposphere Plus MA Mechanism
>4) Photolysis Approach
>* LUT/Parameterization
>5) Heating Rates
>* Chemical Potential
>6) Heterogeneous Processes
>* Rate Constant Derivation
>* Dehydration
>* Denitrification
