SuperFastDepositionSink

Operator model that turns first-order dry + wet deposition loss-rate coefficients into additive sink terms on a SuperFast-family gas-phase mechanism. Each equation is D(<X>) ~ -(k_dry + k_wet)*<X> over the model's OWN species unknowns; when this model is merged with a SuperFast reaction system via an `operator_compose` coupling (systems: [<Chem>, SuperFastDepositionSink]), the flattener matches each sink equation's dependent variable to the chemistry system's state of the same species name and sums the two right-hand sides (dc/dt += -k*c), then retires the sink's own declaration of that name (esm-spec 10.1/10.2 — direct match, else the bare-name match). The deposition rate coefficients are exposed as parameters so they can be driven from the full DryDepositionGas (Wesley 1989) and WetDeposition (EMEP) components via param_to_var edges in an assembly. Species->rate mapping mirrors AtmosphericDeposition.jl/ext/GasChemExt.jl couple2(SuperFastCoupler, DryDepositionGasCoupler / WetDepositionCoupler): NO reuses NO2's dry-dep rate; CH2O uses the formaldehyde (HCHO) dry-dep rate; the wet rate k_wet is the lumped soluble-gas WetDeposition.k_othergas applied to HNO3, H2O2, CH2O, CH3OOH.

Description

Operator model that turns first-order dry + wet deposition loss-rate coefficients into additive sink terms on a SuperFast-family gas-phase mechanism. Each equation is D() ~ -(k_dry + k_wet) over the model’s OWN species unknowns; when this model is merged with a SuperFast reaction system via an operator_compose coupling (systems: [, SuperFastDepositionSink]), the flattener matches each sink equation’s dependent variable to the chemistry system’s state of the same species name and sums the two right-hand sides (dc/dt += -kc), then retires the sink’s own declaration of that name (esm-spec 10.1/10.2 — direct match, else the bare-name match). The deposition rate coefficients are exposed as parameters so they can be driven from the full DryDepositionGas (Wesley 1989) and WetDeposition (EMEP) components via param_to_var edges in an assembly. Species->rate mapping mirrors AtmosphericDeposition.jl/ext/GasChemExt.jl couple2(SuperFastCoupler, DryDepositionGasCoupler / WetDepositionCoupler): NO reuses NO2’s dry-dep rate; CH2O uses the formaldehyde (HCHO) dry-dep rate; the wet rate k_wet is the lumped soluble-gas WetDeposition.k_othergas applied to HNO3, H2O2, CH2O, CH3OOH.

The species are declared here as ordinary unknowns with the upstream SuperFast initial mixing ratios as defaults, so the applicator is a complete, standalone-loadable, standalone-testable document: on its own it integrates seven decoupled first-order decays whose closed-form solution c(t) = c0exp(-kt) is what the inline tests pin, and the species->rate mapping (NO on NO2’s dry rate, k_wet only on the four soluble species) is asserted rather than only asserted in prose. Composition is unaffected: operator_compose matches on the species NAME.

This replaces an earlier spelling in which the equations were written directly against SuperFast.<X> scoped references. That form hard-coded the partner system’s document-level name into the leaf and, per esm-spec 4.6 (the head segment of a scoped reference MUST name a key of this document’s models / reaction_systems, or a subsystem of the referencing model), referenced a system this document does not declare — so load_path rejected the file with reference '<X>' to undefined system 'SuperFast' and neither the CI gate nor any runner could load it. Mounting SuperFast as a subsystems entry would have silenced that error only by changing the composition: the chemistry would then live INSIDE the sink at SuperFastDepositionSink.SuperFast.* and no longer merge with the sibling chemistry system under operator_compose. Name matching is the construct the spec provides for this, and it is what the flattener implements.

IMPORTANT (esm implementation note, carried over from the migration): the additive sink is delivered as a model whose D() equations are merged by operator_compose, NOT via a couple connector with transform:“additive”. The additive/from/to connector form is accepted by the schema (esm-spec 10.3) but was observed during migration not to reach the ODEs through the flatten pipeline’s _apply_couple! (a {from,to,transform:additive,expression} edge went to opaque_refs and was discarded). operator_compose (which sums equations sharing a dependent variable) is the working construct.

Variables

Name	Units	Default	Description
`O3`	`ppb`	`40.0`	Ozone mixing ratio the dry-deposition sink acts on. Merged onto the chemistry system’s O3 by operator_compose; the default is SuperFast’s own O3 initial value (40 ppb), used when this applicator is integrated standalone.
`NO2`	`ppb`	`0.0004`	Nitrogen dioxide mixing ratio. Default is SuperFast’s NO2 initial value.
`NO`	`ppb`	`0.0004`	Nitric oxide mixing ratio. Deposits at NO2’s dry-deposition rate, per GasChemExt. Default is SuperFast’s NO initial value.
`HNO3`	`ppb`	`4e-06`	Nitric acid mixing ratio. Soluble: loses to both dry deposition and wet scavenging. Default is SuperFast’s HNO3 initial value.
`H2O2`	`ppb`	`4e-06`	Hydrogen peroxide mixing ratio. Soluble: dry + wet. Default is SuperFast’s H2O2 initial value.
`CH2O`	`ppb`	`4e-06`	Formaldehyde mixing ratio. Soluble: dry (at the HCHO rate) + wet. Default is SuperFast’s CH2O initial value.
`CH3OOH`	`ppb`	`4e-06`	Methyl hydroperoxide mixing ratio. Wet scavenging only — GasChemExt gives it no dry-deposition rate. Default is SuperFast’s CH3OOH initial value.

Parameters

Name	Units	Default	Description
`k_O3`	`1/s`	`0.0`	O3 dry-deposition first-order loss rate (from DryDepositionGas.k_O3).
`k_NO2`	`1/s`	`0.0`	NO2 dry-deposition rate (also applied to NO, per GasChemExt).
`k_HNO3`	`1/s`	`0.0`	HNO3 dry-deposition rate.
`k_H2O2`	`1/s`	`0.0`	H2O2 dry-deposition rate.
`k_HCHO`	`1/s`	`0.0`	CH2O (formaldehyde) dry-deposition rate.
`k_wet`	`1/s`	`0.0`	Lumped soluble-gas wet-scavenging rate (from WetDeposition.k_othergas), applied to HNO3, H2O2, CH2O, CH3OOH.
