Overview
Below we summarize the notable changes caused by specific updates. Supplementary plots may be viewed at http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/geos-chem/validation/InternalBenchmarks/. Changes to benchmark setup Use MERRA-2 meteorology instead of GEOS-FP Changing from GEOS-FP to MERRA-2 meteorology impacted the concentrations of most species, most notably over land and in the Tropics. Global mean OH increased by 2.11%. In addition, changing the meteorology fields impacted emissions computed by HEMCO extensions (MEGAN, soil NOx, lightning NOx, dust, etc.). Those changes are summarized below in this table of emissions by inventory created from an internal benchmark isolating just the impact of changing from GEOS-FP to MERRA-2. The differences described above likely arise from differences in the GEOS system used to generate the two products. GEOS-FP meteorology for July 2016 are from the GEOS-5.13.1 system while MERRA-2 is frozen at GEOS-5.12.4. See NASA GMAO's website for more details on differences between GEOS versions: https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/GMAO_products/NRT_products.php. Update benchmark year from 2016 to 2019 Changing the benchmark year from 2016 to 2019 impacted the concentrations of most species and caused global mean OH to decrease by 1.97%. This update primarily impacted the emissions used in the benchmark simulation. For GFED and volcano emissions, changing the year meant updating to a more recent emissions year. As with changing meteorology fields, changing meteorology year also changed emissions computed by HEMCO extensions. Those changes are summarized below in this table of emissions by inventory created from an internal benchmark isolating just the impact of changing the simulation year from July 2016 to July 2019. Use restart file that has been spun up The GEOS-Chem restart file is typically updated for each major version release. This means that a restart file generated using GEOS-Chem 12.0.0 has been used for all 1-month benchmarks in the GEOS-Chem 12 series. Many science updates (e.g. updated halogen and isoprene chemistry) went into that version, so the initial conditions provided by that restart file are likely not representative of actual concentrations. In addition, any new species added since 12.0.0 are not included in that restart file so those species are initialized to default background concentrations. To address this, we have updated the restart file to use the July 2016 restart file from the last 1-year benchmark (12.9.0), which has been spun up for at least a 1.5 years (more if you include spin-up from previous 1-year benchmarks). This update impacted concentrations of all species and global mean OH decreased by 3.45%. The exact difference in the initial concentrations from the old and new restart files can be found by viewing the log files from the 1-month benchmarks for GEOS-Chem 12.9.0 and GEOS-Chem 13.0.0. A snippet of that output is included here: From GC_12.9.0.log: =============================================================================== R E S T A R T F I L E I N P U T Min and Max of each species in restart file [mol/mol]: Species 1, ACET: Min = 1.000000003E-30 Max = 2.716920022E-08 Species 2, ACTA: Min = 1.000000003E-30 Max = 7.725763085E-11 Species 3, AERI: Min = 1.037870635E-15 Max = 7.207419123E-12 Species 4, ALD2: Min = 4.684888406E-23 Max = 4.086598082E-08 ...

CEDS_GBD-MAPS emission inventory (1970 - 2017) This benchmark now uses CEDS Global Burden of Disease - Major Air Pollution Sources (GBD-MAPS) emissions for 2017, as opposed to the prior CEDS inventory released for CMIP6 (Hoesly et al., 2018) for which 2014 was the last year.

Those species were traditionally treated as having a molecular weight of 12.0 g/mol which in some cases would be multiplied by the molecular ratio or number of carbon atoms in that species. Differences introduced by this update are primarily small, but arise from the difference between the actual species molecular weights compared to the molecular weight of carbon multiplied by the number of carbons (e.g. for acetone the actual molecular weight is 58.02 g/mol while it was previously treated as 12.03=36.0 g/mol). In addition, the GEOS-Chem and HEMCO output in 12.9.0 and earlier indicated units of v/v or kg/m2/s for many of these species when it was actually vC/v and kgC/m2/s, and this led to incorrect unit conversions in GCPy when creating benchmark plots and tables. Where possible, we have corrected that in this benchmark output for 13.0.0 so we are comparing similar units for 12.9.0 and 13.0.0 output but some species like EOH still show large differences. Heterogeneous chem fixes, performance improvements, and clarification* These fixes primarily caused differences in concentrations of halogen species and other species involved in heterogeneous chemistry. Global mean OH decreased by 3.45%. The following updates introduced differences on the order of numerical noise: Fix handling of NOx coefficients in ucx_mod.F90 Removal of HEMCO code from within the non-local PBL mixing modules Prevent divide-by-zero errors in UCX routine UCX_NOX
