On this page we list the current priorities for GEOS-Chem development. This list was compiled by the user Working Groups at the last [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/meetings/2017/index.html International GEOS-Chem Meeting (IGC8)] in May 2017 and will be continuously updated based on code readiness and input from the Working Groups and the Steering Committee.

On this page we list the current priorities for GEOS-Chem development. This list is continuously updated based on code readiness and input from the [https://geos-chem.seas.harvard.edu/geos-working-groups Working Groups] and the [https://geos-chem.seas.harvard.edu/geos-steering-cmte Steering Committee]. For history of past releases see the [[GEOS-Chem_versions|GEOS-Chem Versions wiki page]].
  
We also invite you to view our [https://trello.com/board/geos-chem-support-team/4fe36668fc79a1d3540ba80b GEOS-Chem Support Team project management board on Trello.com], which shows the current GCST workflow.

See the links below for items merged and awaiting release.
  
The items listed below are in different stages of readiness and will be included in future versions of the model.

== Feature integration in progress ==

Features listed in this table are actively being integrated into GEOS-Chem by the [https://geoschem.github.io/support-team.html GEOS-Chem Support Team]. In addition, we continuously implement structural updates in the model to maintain and develop coupling with other models including GEOS, CESM, and the model adjoint.

*Need to implement a fix to handle missing data for 2012/09 thru 2012/12. We can do one of 2 things:
+
*[https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/pull/2348 GEOS-Chem PR #2348]
**Create files with zero emissions for 2012/09 thru 2012/12.
+
*[https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/pull/2349 GEOS-Chem PR #2349]
***But because data for 2013- is copied from 2012, this will mean that the last 3 months of the year have no volcano emissions.
+
* More PRs in progress
**Link to the existing volcano emsisions files for September thru December

Latest revision as of 14:19, 25 June 2024

On this page we list the current priorities for GEOS-Chem development. This list is continuously updated based on code readiness and input from the Working Groups and the Steering Committee. For history of past releases see the GEOS-Chem Versions wiki page.

Merged and awaiting release

See the links below for items merged and awaiting release.

Mergeable at any time Version in development
