This page includes information about GEOS-Chem 13.2.1.

Version overview

The following items have been added to GEOS-Chem 13.2.1 since the last benchmark for GEOS-Chem 13.2.0. See also the following Github pages:

Feature Contributor(s) Model scope Notes
Updates that will affect full-chemistry simulations
Retire tropchem simulation as an option Melissa Sulprizio (GCST) Structural
  • NOTE: Users can still choose between simulations with 72 or 47 vertical levels
Bug fix: Make sure JvalO3O1D and JValO3O3P diagnostic arrays are zeroed in flexchem_mod.F90 Haipeng Lin (Harvard)
Lizzie Lundgren (GCST))
Diagnostics
  • NOTE: This update will cause JvalO3O1D and JvalO3O3P plots to differ w/r/t previous versions, but will not affect benchmark metrics such as mean OH concentration, MCF lifetime, etc.
Fix to HEMCO lightning flash rate diagnostic units Lee Murray (Rochester) HEMCO
