                tracer units, and tracer unit conversions
              - Correct bug in below cloud average mixing
                ratio calculation in DO_MERRA_CONVECTION
              - Prevent negative tracer concentration at
                poles after advection

    v11-01b   - Update DMS climatology to Lana              TBD
              - Add impaction scavenging for BCPO
              - Add homogeneous IN removal
              - Update density of organic aerosol
              - Improve dust size distribution scheme
              - Treat DST2- DST3 as coarse mode in wetdep
              - Update PMN + O3 reaction in globchem.dat
              - Fix black carbon bug in ucx_mod.F
              - Fix archiving of POx/LOx via ND20
              - Add the following options:
                BrC UV absorption (default off)
                Acid uptake on dust aerorols (default off)
                Online emissions of marine POA (default off)
 
This benchmark simulation uses the benchmark chemistry mechanism (i.e. tropchem
+ UCX + SOA ) and 72 vertical levels.
