OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
This tutorial is designed to help you get familiar with iChamber (my IGOR-based 0-D box model), also to cover a few fundamental topics of atmospheric chemistry.
This tutorial works better on big screens (desktop, laptop, maybe tablet too).
This 0-D box model has been tested using IGOR Pro 6.3.7.2 on WINDOWS.
I blah a lot. But each chapter takes about 15-20min. If you don't have time for all these, I strongly suggest you go thru Chapter 1(a), 1(b) and 2 at least.
Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions or there's other topics you would like me to cover! Hope you find it interesting!

A few final notes
Every model has it's own learning curve, and so is mine. But I hope all the efforts I have put into this thing over the past years made the curve less steep (the first successful attempt of this model was in 2011-2012). If you work regularly with MCM, it should take no more than a few minutes to load the mechanism and set up the model! If you work with other mechanisms, you probably have to figure out a way to load the mechanism into the model, and if you have questions please feel free to contact me.
*** NEW: a Python-based model is currently under development! The python-based model is ~10x faster than the Igor-based model because I'm supplying the Jacobian matrix. It also works on supercomputers. If you're interested, shoot me an email! ***
