This is a guide to using CHEM1D to perform the ozone simulations presented in Siskind et al. paper for a hypothetical supernova-induced soft Xray input For compiling, it seems to require ifortran; I tried gfortran and it crashed ifort -c -80 *.f ifort *.o then mv a.out chem1d_out_66 to run: ./chem1d_run_flare It will ask for the name of your initial file ("restart", *.res). There are three files provided nox_base.res, nox_x13.res and nox_x27.res Then, the code will create a big unformatted OUT file with lots of extraneous reaction rates etc. You can use read_output.pro to read it, but easier is that here this has been condensed into python readable IDL save files A problem is that it doesn't calculate pressure- you need the input temperature. Can see fort.15, timegcm_t_m_p.txt for that Anyway, fig11_plot.pro reads the 3 save files and shows how Figure 11 was made
