Version history summary
| Past releases | Current release: GEOS-Chem 12.3.0 | Future releases |
The sections below describe each GEOS-Chem feature version and GEOS-Chem bug fix patch version belonging to the GEOS-Chem 12 series. Each feature version carries the tag 12.Y.0, which indicates that the version will be (or has been) validated with a 1-month benchmark simulation (and one or more 1-year benchmark simulations if necessary). Each patch version carries the tag 12.Y.Z, which denotes that the version preserves backwards-compatibility with the prior feature version 12.Y.0. For more information, please see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page.
Several GEOS-Chem updates have been proposed by the relevant Working Groups, but have not yet been assigned to a specific GEOS-Chem version. For a complete list of these updates, please visit our GEOS-Chem model development priorities wiki page.

Previous issues now resolved in GEOS-Chem 12
The following bugs and/or technical issues have been resolved in GEOS-Chem 12.
Declare State_Met%AREA_M2 as 2-dimensional, not 3-dimensional
This update was be included in GEOS-Chem 12.3.1, which was released on 08 Apr 2019.
The State_Met%Area_M2 field (which holds grid box surface areas in m2) was allocated as (I,J,1). But this causes issues with GCHP diagnostics. When GCHP sees a 3rd dimension, it will try to save diagnostics with all levels.
The fix is to allocate State_Met%Area_M2 as an (I,J) array instead of as an (I,J,1) array.

GCHP adjoint development requires time to run backwards in GCHP
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.3.0, which was released on 01 Apr 2019.
Limitations in MAPL previously prevented running the clock backwards in GCHP. However, running time backwards is a feature necessary to develop a GCHP adjoint model. To enable the feature, Atanas Trayanov (GMAO) provided source code updates to be incorporated into MAPL. Lizzie Lundgren implemented the update and added the feature of toggling time direction in configuration file CAP.rc at runtime.
To run GCHP backwards set REVERSE_TIME to 1. Start and end times set in runConfig.sh will then be end and start times respectively. REVERSE_TIME is set to 0 (off) by default in GCHP run directories. This feature is for use in adjoint development and should not be used for general production runs. Output using it has not been validated.

Further bug fix to prevent incorrect restart file output when spanning leap year days
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.3.0, which was released on 01 Apr 2019.
A further bug fix (in addition to the fix that was added to GEOS-Chem 12.2.1) needed to be made to the HISTORY component. This fix prevents restart files (or other instantaneous netCDF diagnostic files) from being created with data fields that are all zeroes.
It turns out that we needed to add some additional code to:
- Call routine History_SetTime from main.F before calling History_Update;
- Call routine HistContainer_UpdateIvalSet from routine History_Update for intervals longer than a month, so that the update interval would be recomputed properly if spanning a leap year day;
- Do not subtract the HeartBeat timestep in seconds from the initial update alarm. This is equivalent to advancing the clock before calling History_Update.
This fix was tested by running a simulation for Jan 1, 2016—Mar 1, 2016 (spanning a leap year day) with the Restart collection set to archive at 1 month intervals (00000100 000000). We obtained restart files with non-zero data for Feb 1st and Mar 1st. So this issue should be fixed.

Bug fix: netCDF diagnostic collections with frequency "End" now properly span leap year days
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.1, which was released on 28 Feb 2019.
Amos Tai wrote:
I have been running GEOS-Chem 12.1.1 Tropchem from 20111101 to 20111201, and that created a normal restart file for 20111201. Then I started the simulation again from 20111201 onward but now running into a problem on 20120301. After archiving the 2012 February data, GEOS-Chem created a GC restart file for 20120301 as usual, but now this restart file is empty, and obviously the simulation can’t move forward. HEMCO restart isn’t affected. I’m attaching the GC log script here, which also didn’t who any problem when archiving the restart file. I’m running it again to see if it happens again, but have you been aware of similar problems before? I suspect it may have something to do with 2012 being a leap year, so somewhere something doesn’t recognize 20120229?.
Bob Yantosca replied:
You were indeed correct, the issue was the Restart collection was not properly accounting for leap year days.
As it turns out, when I wrote the algorithm for computing "alarms" for the Update, File Write, and File Close operations, I had assumed that users would only request diagnostic output at intervals of less than 1 month, exactly 1 month, or exactly 1 year. These are the most common diagnostic intervals and these are the easiest to code up. So technically this wasn’t a "bug" per se, but rather a "design limitation" (which is just as bad sometimes).
When we updated the 12.1.0 code to define the restart files as a netCDF collection with frequency "End", then the existing algorithm would would fail if the interval spanned a leap year day. I have since updated the algorithm for computing "alarms" for the Update, File Write, and File Close operations so that they now work properly when spanning leap years. If you start a run on a leap year such as 2016/01/01 and run to 2016/03/01, then you will now get a restart file for 2016/03/01. I also tested the case if you start e.g. on 2015/12/01 and then run past New Year's Day to 2016/04/01, you will get output on 2016/04/01, as expected. So this should work OK now.
NOTE: There may still be some cases where the new algorithm will fail. Using the frequency "End" should work well for intervals less than a year. If you are submitting individual jobs to a batch scheduler, and the jobs are only a couple of months long, then it should be OK to use "End" for the Restart collection. But if you are jobs of 1 year or longer to the scheduler, we would recommend that you set the Restart collection frequency to either every month or every other month. This will be a failsafe in case the run dies for any reason...you would only have to rerun from the last restart instead of having to rerun the last year.

Use online sea flux emissions by default in GCHP
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.1, which was released on 28 Feb 2019.
Offline sea flux emissions generated with a 1-year GEOS-Chem Classic simulation at 2x2.5 are used in GCHP by default since 12.0.0. However, the offline emissions cause greater differences between GEOS-Chem Classic and GCHP than online sea flux emissions. In order to make GEOS-Chem Classic and GCHP more comparable in benchmark simulations the default will be to use online sea flux beginning in version 12.2.1. Investigation of the offline sea flux emissions inventory is needed before making the files default.

Missing scaling factors for MERRA-2 simulations with GCHP
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.1, which was released on 28 Feb 2019.
Seb Eastham wrote:
- I noticed that there’s an issue with the ExtData.rc template in the GCHP/Run directory. The pressure fields (SLP, PS, and TROPPT) are all expected to be in hPa. This is true for GEOS-FP, where those fields were indeed stored in hPa, but the MERRA-2 pressure data is stored in Pa. As a result, any GCHP simulations using MERRA-2 will have weird behavior.
- This is an easy fix, fortunately. Whenever a MERRA-2 simulation dir is generated, the scaling factor (the second “none” on each line for SLP/PS/TROPPT) needs to be changed to 0.01. That should fix the issue. Might be worth putting some sanity checks in e.g. Includes_Before_Run.H which throw a warning (not necessarily an error – always possible someone will one day want to simulate Venus or something with GEOS-Chem) if any pressure values are > 5000 (ie a value way outside the bounds of normality but low enough that it will be triggered it we have an order-of-magnitude error due to units). Could be worth also checking if any values of TROPPT, SLP, PS1, or PS2 are < e.g. 200, for the same reason (e.g. someone uses GEOS-FP but thinks the units are Pa).

GCHP uses outdated MODIS files missing projection error fix
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.1, which was released on 28 Feb 2019.
The MODIS LAI files used in GEOS-Chem Classic were updated in v11-02f to address an issue of offsetting along the southern coasts of Australia. Some SW ocean grid boxes had LAI > 0 and some SE land boxes had LAI = 0. However, the source directory was not updated in GCHP and the older files were used in GCHP versions v11-02f through 12.2.0.
To correct this issue the GCHP run directory will be updated to use the newer files in 12.2.1. For more information on the MODIS LAI update, please see the wiki post for Global 0.25x0.25 MEGAN input and MODIS LAI.

ESMF version update required for MAPL upgrade
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.0, which was released on 19 Feb 2019.
GCHP versions 12.1.1 and prior use ESMF v5.2.0rp2 which was released in 2012. Besides this being a very old version that warrants updating, an update to a more recent version of ESMF is required for compatibility with new functionalities GMAO is incorporating into MAPL. Prior to implementing the MAPL update into GCHP we therefore must update ESMF and plan to use the last public release of ESMF, v7.1.0r.

Fix bug in stratosperic aerosol surface area netcdf diagnostics
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.0, which was released on 19 Feb 2019.
This update was submitted by Jonathan Moch who pointed out that "As written, the code is filling the stratospheric liquid aerosol surface area density and the polar strat cloud surface area with the stratospheric liquid aerosol surface area and then refilling the values with polar strat surface area. So if you aren't running the model inside GEOS-5 the AerSurfAreaPolarStratCloud and AerSurfAreaStratLiquid are identical, which shouldn't be the case."
A fix for this was implemented by Christoph Keller in the version of GEOS-Chem used in GEOS-5. To fix the issue in the offline model we use the same solution.

GCHP Bug fix: use checkpoint output file as subsequent run restart
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.0, which was released on 19 Feb 2019.
This bug fix applies only to the multi-run option of GCHP. It corrects a previous silent bug in which the initial restart file specified in runConfig.sh was used as the restart when doing multiple subsequent runs (i.e. in the presence of cap_restart). The proper behavior when using the multirun option (runScriptSamples/multirun.sh) is to use the checkpoint file (snapshot of end of last run) if the run is continuing from where the last run left off.
This is now corrected by automatically updating the entry for the initial restart file in GCHP.rc with the name of the checkpoint file if the file cap_restart is present just prior to execution. For simplicity the checkpoint file no longer contains the grid resolution in its name.

GCHP transport fix to prevent instant propagation from troposphere to stratosphere
This fix was included in 12.1.1, which was released on 13 Dec 2018 .
Sebastian Eastham describes this bug fix as follows:
GCHP uses a simple mass conservation kludge which rescales global tracer concentrations between transport steps. This is equivalent to the pressure fixer in GC-Classic, used to account for inconsistency between the surface pressure field (which sets the vertical grid spacing up to the upper troposphere) and the averaged wind speeds. Although the scaling factor is usually small, this can cause nonphysical redistribution of mass. This is especially problematic because mass can be transferred to, or from, the stratosphere, which should be impossible given that the stratosphere operates on fixed pressure levels. In a future update, this problem will be resolved by direct application of mass fluxes archived from GEOS in place of winds, but while that update is in development we have produced an interim fix
This patch forces mass redistribution to be constrained to the variable pressure levels in the troposphere. Although this slightly increases spurious mixing in the troposphere, it prevents changes in the troposphere from being instantly propagated to the stratosphere. This can have significant effects when inspecting (e.g.) the response to changes in surface emissions of NOx.

Yanxu Zhang reported an issue in GEOS-Chem 12.1.0 where BC files would not save out, even when turned on in the Nested Grid Menu of input.geos. To resolve this issue, we will always add USER_DEFS += -DBPCH_TPBC in Makefile_header.mk. The switch to turn on saving out boundary condition files is still controlled by the options in input.geos, but this fix ensures the tpcore_bc_mod.F code is always compiled.

Allow for SZA to 98 degrees when getting photolysis rates
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.1.0, which was released on 26 Nov 2018.
Eric Palmer (GMAO) wrote:
I see that the code that calls the photolysis rates (in flexchem_mod.F90), is only called when the solar zenith angle is < 90 degrees (COS(SZA) > 0.). However, Fast-Jx allows for SZA down to 98 degrees, which is important in the stratosphere-mesosphere where sunlight still illuminates at high altitudes if the sun is below the horizon at the surface. To allow for SZA down to 98 deg, I made the following one line change:
IF ( State_Met%SUNCOSmid(I,J) > 0.e+0_fp ) THEN
to:
IF ( State_Met%SUNCOSmid(I,J) > -0.13917e+0_fp ) THEN
where -0.13917e+0_fp = COS(98 degrees) This looks like it has the desired effect, as species with sharp gradients across the terminator (eg: Br, BrO), are now more "rounded" and look much more like GMI (which also allows SZA down to 98 degrees). This also eliminates the problem with the non-conservation of bromine family species in the mesosphere due to transport across the terminator (ie, the sharp edges of a square wave).

Fix bug in application of CFC surface mixing ratios in GCHP
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.3, which was released on 16 Oct 2018.
This fix is urgent, as any current users of the last several versions of GCHP will be see bad results for relevant species. We recommend that all GCHP users implement this update if not updating to the latest version.
Sebastian Eastham describes this bug as follows:
Basically, we specify a target year for CFC emissions to be read in in input.geos, so (eg) we can specify “2050” and all surface VMRs for CFCs will be set according to the expected value for 2050. Usually, though, we use a value of 0 – meaning “use the current year”. In GCC, the value Input_Opt%CFCYEAR is set to Get_Year () during initialization, and the offset is calculated in UCX_mod, meaning the right year gets used. However, in GCHP this isn’t possible because Get_Year doesn’t return the right value until after initialization. There was a workaround in UCX_mod already where we had a local variable “CFCYEAR” which was a copy of Input_Opt%CFCYEAR, and which got set to Get_Year() at runtime if it was still zero; however, this wasn’t being propagated in the case of an ESMF environment (where UCXNETCDF is .False.) because we only passed Input_Opt rather than the updated local variable. As a result, the CFC “emissions” were always for 1950 rather than for the true target year.

Fix incorrect run configuration for offline sea salt emissions in GCHP
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.3, which was released on 16 Oct 2018.
The offline sea salt emissions applied in GCHP starting in 12.0.0 contained a bug due to incorrect settings in HEMCO_Config.rc. SALA and SALC sea salt values read from file should be scaled and applied to BrSALA and BrSALC respectably. However, the HEMCO_Config.rc settings resulted in applying the scaled values to SALA and SALC instead. This bug was identified by Seb Eastham (MIT) and is corrected by updating the species column in HEMCO_Config.rc. No source code updates are necessary but you must create a new run directory or apply the fix in your existing run directories.

The tagged CO simulation was still using NEI2005 emissions over the US by default, while all other simulations had retired the NEI2005 option and were using NEI2011 instead. For consistency, we will use NEI2011 with the tagged CO simulation and remove NEI2005.
In addition, the CEDS and DICE_Africa inventories were omitted from tagged CO HEMCO configuration file. To maintain consistency with the full-chemistry simulations, these inventories are now added for tagged CO and are turned on by default.

Replace HEMCO built-in unit conversions with scale factors in config file
This update will be included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.0 or later.
HEMCO checks the unit string in HEMCO_Config.rc for each emission and converts to HEMCO standard units (kg/m2/s) upon file read if the input units are different. For VOCS, it further converts to kgC/m2/s. The code for the unit conversions is in HEMCO/Core/hco_unit_mod.F90.
Since the automatic unit conversion is performed during HEMCO file read it does not get executed in GCHP which uses MAPL/ESMF for I/O. GCHP users must instead manually include the conversion information as scale factors in HEMCO_Config.rc. To increase clarity and to make GCHP and GCC better match we plan on removing the HEMCO built-in unit conversions and replacing them with scale factors in HEMCO_Config.rc. This change may result in small number differences due to order of operations and precision of scale factors.

! ============================================================================
! 1 - nAdvect : GEOS-CHEM advected species [v/v ]
! 501 : OH concentration [molec/cm3 ]
! 502 : NOy concentration [v/v ]
! 503 : Relative Humidity [% ]
! ... etc ...
Complicating matters further, some ND51/ND51b quantities, including the AOD’s, were only updated on every chemistry timestep (20 mins) instead of on every dynamic timestep (10 mins). There was a CASE statement in routine WRITE_DIAG51 to divide by the proper counting array to create the average quantity:
SELECT CASE( Input_Opt%ND51_TRACERS(W) )
CASE( 91, 92, 76, 77 )
... etc ...
CASE( 84:89, 115:121 )
... etc ...
CASE( 105:114 )
... etc ...
CASE DEFAULT
... etc ...
END SELECT
But we just realized that this CASE statement had the old ND51/ND51b tracer numbers ( < 500) and not the new ones.
Therefore, we have made the following fixes, which should eliminate any striping or discontinuities
- Archive most ND51/ND51b tracers (except for NOy, which has special handling) on every dynamic timestep. Remove the GOOD_CHEM, GOOD_CT_CHEM, GOOD_EMIS, GOOD_CT_EMIS arrays.
- Update the CASE statement shown above so that all tracers (except NOy) are divided by the number of dynamic timesteps when each grid box was within the proper local time range.
Also note: the ND51/ND51b diagnostics were developed in an ad-hoc fashion and were were never really thought out holistically. It is possible that there may be some issues with some of the other quantities in ND51/ND51b, but the GCST is not planning on investigating further. The bpch diagnostics will be eventually removed from GEOS-Chem once we have a satisfactory equivalent local-time averaging netCDF diagnostic.

Fix typo when registering the State_Chm%SSAlk field
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.1, which was released on 24 Aug 2018.
Shuting Zhai wrote:
I found a typo in state_chm_mod.F90 where we register the State_Chm%SSAlk field. I believe this line:
CALL Register_ChmField( ... State_Chm%pHCloud, ... )
Should be:
CALL Register_ChmField( ... State_Chm%SSAlk, ... )
Upon fixing this issue, the GCST discovered that the State_Chm%SSAlk array cannot be registered as a single array because it is dimensioned as (IIPAR,JJPAR,LLPAR,2). When registering quantities, the 4th dimension is always interpreted as the number of chemical species. Therefore, registering State_Chm%SSAlk in this way caused an error.
The solution is to register the two dimensions of State_Chm%SSAlk separately:
- SSAlkAccum points to State_Chm%SSAlk(:,:,:,1)
- SSAlkCoarse points to State_Chm%SSAlk(:,:,:,2)
This update will require you to list Chem_SSAlkAccum and Chem_SSAlkCoarse as requested diagnostics instead of the single field Chem_SSAlk in the HISTORY.rc file ( which specifies input options for netCDF diagnostics).

Avoid double counting CEDS and GEIA NH3 biofuel emissions
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.0.
Eloise Marais wrote:
If CEDS includes NH3 emissions, then this will be double counting. I recommend using CEDS, as GEIA is very out of date (1998 according to the HEMCO configuration file I have).
Daniel Jacob replied:
We should use the GEIA NH3 natural emission inventory (1° x 1° file from Eleanor Morris) but not the GEIA NH3 biofuel inventory.
UPDATE 29 Jun 2018:
We discovered that HEMCO's default behavior is to ignore the GEIA NH3 anthro and biofuel emissions if CEDS is turned on. This is shown in the HEMCO.log file when VERBOSE = 3:
Register_Base: Checking GEIA_NH3_ANTH HEMCO: Entering Get_targetID (hco_config_mod.F90) ( 4) Skip container GEIA_NH3_ANTH because of CEDS_NH3_WST . . .

But for the sake of clarity, we will modify the HEMCO_Config.rc files to explicitly request this behavior:

Fix issues in complexSOA and complexSOA_SVPOA restart files

I just wanted to draw your attention to a few issues with the restart files provided on the ftp site (http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/SPC_RESTARTS/). The complexSOA and complexSOA_SVPOA restart files (4° x 5° and 2° x 2.5°) both have a species entry for IEPOX and also IEPOXD, IEPOXB, and IEPOXA, but should only have the latter 3. This is the same for RIP. The number of species in the 4° x 5° and 2° x 2.5° files for complexSOA is also different.
To fix these issues, we have generated new restart files for the complexSOA and complexSOA_SVPOA simulations. You can download these to your SPC_RESTARTS folder with the following commands:

For the sake of run time, we would like to run GEOS-Chem with the old (15/30 minute timesteps) instead of the recommended timesteps (10/20 minutes).

For example, when 10/20 minute timesteps are used, the time units in the following netcdf output files range from 0 to 23 UTC:

Bob Yantosca replied:
This issue is caused by floating-point roundoff error in converting from the Julian date to the calendar date. I have created a more robust fix for this issue, which now computes the correct netCDF file reference time independent of the model "heartbeat" timestep.
To apply the fix:
- Copy the patch file ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/pub/exchange/bmy/nc_ref_time_fix.txt to your computational server.
- Change to your GEOS-Chem v11-02 release candidate code directory and check out the "master" branch.
- Type: git am < nc_ref_time_fix.txt
The fix will be standardized in the GEOS-Chem 12.0.0 release.

Setting it to F and/or removing LCH4SBC causes the methane to behave as expected, i.e., being set by HEMCO in all simulations, with the expected spatial pattern. Also, we can slate Online CH4 chemistry? : T in the Chemistry Menu and Input_Opt%LCH4CHEM for future removal, as it no longer does anything.

Jiayue Huang wrote:
Qianjie Chen and I think that there is potential a bug in KPP/Standard/gckpp_HetRates.F90 for halogen chemistry in the model v11-02d/e/f.
In the original code, we were using the grid-box average liquid water content, which likely underestimates the in-cloud Br- and Cl- concentration. So we think that we should change it to in-cloud liquid water content by dividing the cloud fraction. This results in increases the S(IV)+Br reaction in cloud, and thus reduces the BrO abundance, mainly in the 30-90N region.
This bug fix is to use cloud fraction when calculating liquid water content [cm3 H2O/cm3 air] in routine GET_HALIDE_CLDConc, which is used to calculate the in-cloud concentrations of Br- and Cl-.

Inconsistency in H2402 concentrations in GCHP vs GEOS-Chem Classic
We have discovered an inconsistency with the concentrations of the halogen species H2402 (chemical formula: C2Br2F4) between GEOS-Chem "Classic" and GCHP. This inconsistency appears as the large fractional difference above ~50 km in the lower-right frame of the plot below.
We have traced this issue to the fact that surface boundary conditions for H2402 used by GCHP differ from those used by GEOS-Chem "Classic", and also that the boundary conditions in GEOS-Chem "Classic" are read in improperly. A fix will be made in an upcoming GEOS-Chem version.

TOMAS simulations cannot use netCDF diagnostics
The TOMAS simulations depend on many of the "binary punch" (aka "bpch") diagnostics. As of this time, we have not yet been able to convert these to the new netCDF diagnostics. Therefore, as of GEOS-Chem 12.0.0, all TOMAS simulations must use the binary punch diagnostic option (which is turned ON by default at compile time). If you try to compile a TOMAS simulation with netCDF diagnostics (i.e. with makefile option NC_DIAG=y), then a compile-time error will be generated.
