Where can I get restart files for GEOS-Chem?

For instructions on how to obtain a set of sample restart files that you can use to spin up your own simulations, please visit this link.

Running GEOS-Chem

Please see the Run your simulation section of geos-chem.readthedocs.io..

There are several ways to speed up a slow GEOS-Chem simulation. If you are archiving many diagnostic quantities are a high temporal resolution (e.g. every hour), then this will increase the run time of your simulation. You can try saving out less diagnostic quantities, or archiving at a lower temporal resolution (e.g. every day).
