Determine how we will add SOA into CATChem. Discuss in MICM or as another module, etc. How we will connect with gas-phase chemistry? How to handle different schemes? How to connect with the aerosol scheme etc. We'll need at least 3 schemes Ravan's, CRACMM's, and AM4's. These will all pair to specific mechanisms or do we want to make it more generalizable? Etc. The parser could connect different SOA schemes together too? Have to think about this. I lean toward each mechanism having it's own SOA scheme like CRACMM as I think this is where the field is going with this being more and more coupled together. Then in the meta data list out which gas-phase species can form SOA and have these be outputs of MICM to be implemented into another scheme to do the SOA processing.
