This is a list of planned GEOS-Chem model development items over the next two years, based on discussions and [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_meeting_2009.html#wg_reports GEOS-Chem Working Group reports] from the April 2009 GEOS-Chem Users' Meeting. The key model developer or model contact is identified for each item. Items are listed in rough order of decreasing readiness, although this can quickly change.
+
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 count on user input to augment and prioritize this list, please contact your [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_working_groups.html Working Group Chair] or model scientist [mailto:djacob@fas.harvard.edu Daniel Jacob].

See the links below for items merged and awaiting release.

Here we list new features that have since been brought into the standard mainline GEOS-Chem code.  Each of these was identified as a priority at the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_meeting_2009.html 4th International GEOS-Chem Meeting] in 2009 (aka '''IGC4''') or the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_meeting_2011.html 5th International GEOS-Chem GEOS-Chem Meeting] in 2011 (aka '''IGC5''').

== Feature integration in progress ==
  
−
== Items that have yet to be included in GEOS-Chem ==
+
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.
  
−
We are working towards adding each of these new features into future GEOS-Chem releases.  Each of these was identified as a priority at the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_meeting_2009.html 4th International GEOS-Chem Meeting] in 2009 (aka '''IGC4''') or the [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/geos_meeting_2011.html 5th International GEOS-Chem GEOS-Chem Meeting] in 2011 (aka '''IGC5''').

Latest revision as of 11:52, 19 July 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
GEOS-Chem no-diff-to-benchmark GEOS-Chem 14.5.0

Feature integration in progress

Features listed in this table are actively being integrated into GEOS-Chem by the 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.
