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 [[GEOS-Chem model development priorities|our ''GEOS-Chem model development priorities'' wiki page]].
 +
 
 +
== Previously released stable versions ==
 +
 
 +
We list below past releases of GEOS-Chem.  But we recommend that you always download the current stable version listed above when starting a new research project. That version corresponds to the '''main''' branch of the [https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem GEOS-Chem source code repository on Github].
 +
 
 +
Each released version of GEOS-Chem will be assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI).  This will allow you to cite each GEOS-Chem version in publications. We also have obtained a "Concept DOI", which will always point to the current stable version of GEOS-Chem: [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1343546 '''DOI 10.5281/zenodo.1343546'''].  This can be convenient if you wish to cite GEOS-Chem without making reference to a particular version.

==== New data directories in 12.9.0 ====
  
The sections below describe each '''GEOS-Chem feature version''' and '''GEOS-Chem 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.
+
The following data directories have been added or updated in this version.  You will have to [[Downloading_GEOS-Chem_data_directories|download the directories]] relevant to your simulation.

<blockquote>By default in the unit tester, => CH4 is still enabled. This appears to set up conflict between the older UCX surface layer and the newer HEMCO methane PBL boundary conditions, causing air to be a mix of preindustrial and present-day values (see below for Jul 1, 2013 surface methane in a benchmark run). 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.

Version history summary

Past releases 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.

Previously released stable versions

We list below past releases of GEOS-Chem. But we recommend that you always download the current stable version listed above when starting a new research project. That version corresponds to the main branch of the GEOS-Chem source code repository on Github.

Each released version of GEOS-Chem will be assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This will allow you to cite each GEOS-Chem version in publications. We also have obtained a "Concept DOI", which will always point to the current stable version of GEOS-Chem: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.1343546. This can be convenient if you wish to cite GEOS-Chem without making reference to a particular version.

Avoid double counting CEDS and GEIA NH3 biofuel emissions Christoph Keller (NASA/GMAO)
GCST
Bug fix
  • The default HEMCO behavior is to prioritize CEDS over GEIA NH3 anthro and biofuel emissions. But to avoid confusion, we will explicitly request this behavior in the HEMCO_Config.rc files that ship with the GEOS-Chem Unit Tester.
