This page includes information about GEOS-Chem 13.2.0.

Version overview

The following items have been added to GEOS-Chem 13.2.0 since the last benchmark for GEOS-Chem 13.1.0. See also the 13.2.0 milestone on Github.

Feature	Contributor(s)	Model scope	Notes
Updates that will affect full-chemistry simulations
CEDS v2 emissions through 2019	Patrick Campbell (NOAA-ARL) Melissa Sulprizio (GCST)	Emissions	See also geoschem/geos-chem Feature Request #757
Updated Yuan/BNU MODIS LAI product (2000-2019)	Jenny Fisher (U. Wollongong) Melissa Sulprizio (GCST)	Emissions Dry deposition	See also geoschem/geos-chem Feature Request #717
Updates that will NOT affect full-chemistry simulations
Trace metal simulation	Junwei Xu (Dalhousie)	Specialty simulation	See also geoschem/geos-chem Pull request #769 Daily data files are very large; we have compressed some. Some data files are missing; we skip these. Added trace metal species as a standalone simulation, so as not to burden other simulations with large data I/O
Features only affecting GCHP:

New data directories

The following data directories have been added or updated in this version. You will have to download the directories relevant to your simulation.

Inventory	Type	What was added?	Directory
CEDS	Default	CEDS v2 emissions through 2019	HEMCO/CEDS/v2021-06
Yuan-processed MODIS LAI	Default	Updated BNU v6/Yuan-processed MODIS LAI product (2000-2020)	HEMCO/Yuan_XLAI/v2021-06

1-month benchmarks

This version will require 1-month full-chemistry benchmarks, with and without Luo wet deposition.

1-year benchmarks

This version will require 1-year full-chemistry and transport tracer benchmarks, with and without Luo wet deposition.
