== Current version in development ==
+
== Previously released stable versions ==
  
The GEOS-Chem version listed below is currently under development.
+
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].
  
=== 12.2.0 ===
+
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.
  
The items listed below are slated to be included in GEOS-Chem 12.2.0.  This is a feature release which will be benchmarked with a 1-month benchmark simulation and a 1-year Rn-Pb-Be benchmark simulation.
+
=== 12.9.3 ===
 +
 
 +
This version contains additional fixes for bugs and technical issues discovered after the release of 12.9.2.
 +
 
 +

== Current stable version ==
 
 
The GEOS-Chem version listed below is considered stable and can be used to start a new research project.  This version corresponds to the '''master''' 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.

+
'''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#12.1.0|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 <tt>USER_DEFS += -DBPCH_TPBC</tt> 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.

<blockquote>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:</blockquote>

<blockquote>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).</blockquote>

=== Fix bug in application of CFC surface mixing ratios in GCHP ===

<span style="color:green">'''''This update was included in [[GEOS-Chem 12#12.0.3|GEOS-Chem 12.0.3]], which was released on 16 Oct 2018.'''''</span>
+
 
+
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:'''
+
 
+
<blockquote>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.</blockquote>

=== Fix incorrect run configuration for offline sea salt emissions in GCHP ===

<span style="color:green">'''''This update was included in [[GEOS-Chem 12#12.0.3|GEOS-Chem 12.0.3]], which was released on 16 Oct 2018.'''''</span>
+
 
+
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.

+
 
+
The regional tile file used by GCHP for regrigding the APEI inventory from native resolution to cubed sphere was incorrect at the time of the 12.0.0 release. The tile file erroneously caused the APEI inventory to be regridded at a 180 degree longitude offset. Corrected tile files now replace the erroneous ones at <tt>gcgrid/ExtData/GCHP/TileFiles</tt>. No changes are necessary to the model source code or the GCHP run directory.

Integration of the DICE-Africa inventory in GCHP resulted in erroneously masking out total global anthropogenic emissions outside of Africa. Updating the Africa mask file from containing regional bounds to global bounds corrects the problem. GCHP users who are using the DICE-inventory prior to 12.1.0 can fix the issue by updating their Africa mask file to <tt>MASKS/v2014-07/AF_LANDMASK.geos.05x0666.global.nc</tt> which is now available on <tt>gcgrid</tt>.

=== Replace HEMCO built-in unit conversions with scale factors in config file ===
+
 
+
<span style="color:darkorange">'''''This update will be included in [[GEOS-Chem 12#12.2.0|GEOS-Chem 12.2.0]] or later.'''''</span>
+
 
+
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.

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.''</blockquote>

Upon fixing this issue, the [[GCST]] discovered that the <tt>State_Chm%SSAlk</tt> array cannot be registered as a single array because it is dimensioned as <tt>(IIPAR,JJPAR,LLPAR,2)</tt>.  When registering quantities, the 4th dimension is always interpreted as the number of chemical species.  Therefore, registering <tt>State_Chm%SSAlk</tt> in this way caused an error.

The solution is to register the two dimensions of <tt>State_Chm%SSAlk</tt> separately:

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 <tt>GET_HALIDE_CLDConc</tt>, which is used to calculate the in-cloud concentrations of Br- and Cl-.</blockquote>

:I've just found that both FJX_spec.dat the redundant CH3I spectrum and the new spectrum are both present in FJX_spec.dat and FJX_j2j.dat (in v12.0.0). This will have been due to the spectrum in my branch being under the species alias of "CH3IT" to preserve (and ignore) the use of "CH3I" in the namespace of the code for the existing methyl iodide simulation when the iodine simulation was developed. The "CH3IT" variables were replaced "CH3I" in the v11-1-Patches branches with halogen chemistry provided to GCST, but the existing methyl iodide simulation variable was not removed. There are no double ups in the KPP mechanism itself.

=== Inconsistency in H2402 concentrations in GCHP vs GEOS-Chem Classic ===
+
Unresolved issues are listed on the following Github pages:
 
+
*[https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/issues GEOS-Chem open issues]
We have discovered an inconsistency with the concentrations of the halogen species H2402 (chemical formula: C<sub>2</sub>Br<sub>2</sub>F<sub>4</sub>) 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.
+
*[https://github.com/geoschem/gchp GCHP open issues]
 
+
[[Image:H2402_issue.png]]
+
 
+
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".  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 [[List of diagnostics archived to bpch format|"binary punch" (aka "bpch") diagnostics]].  As of this time, we have not yet been able to convert these to the new [[List of diagnostics archived to netCDF format|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 <tt>NC_DIAG=y</tt>), then a compile-time error will be generated.

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.
