Emission

Emission reactions take the form:

\[\rightarrow \ce{X}\]

where \(\ce{X}\) is the species being emitted.

Emission rates are constant. A conforming implementation of version 1.0.0 of the configuration will provide ways to dynamically update wet deposition rates if nonconstant rates are needed.

Input data for emission reactions have the following format:

YAML

type: EMISSION
species: species name
scaling factor: 1.2

JSON

{
    "type": "EMISSION",
    "species": "species name",
    "scaling factor": 1.2,
}

The key-value pair species is required, and its value must be the name of the species being emitted. The scaling factor is optional and can be used to set a constant scaling factor for the rate. When a scaling factor is not provided, it is assumed to be 1.0. Rates are in \(\mbox{molecule}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\,\mathrm{s^{-1}}\).
