GEOS-Chem v11-02-final will also carry the designation GEOS-Chem 12.0.0. We are migrating to a purely numeric versioning system in order to adhere more closely to software development best practices. For a complete description of the new versioning system, please see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page.




Version history

The table below shows the previous, current, and successive major releases of GEOS-Chem:

Previous major release This version in development Next major release
GEOS-Chem v11-02 (aka 12.0.0) GEOS-Chem 12 GEOS-Chem 13
TBD TBD TBD
View v11-02 benchmark history View GEOS-Chem 12 benchmark history TBD

GEOS-Chem 12.3.0

GEOS-Chem 12.2.0

GEOS-Chem 12.1.0

GEOS-Chem 12.0.0

In order to transition to a new, purely numeric versioning system, the GEOS-Chem v11-02-final release also carries the designation GEOS-Chem v12.0.0

Validation

In this section we provide information about the benchmarks and tests that we have done to validate GEOS-Chem v11-03.

1-month and 1-year benchmarks

For complete information about the benchmark simulations used to validate GEOS-Chem v11-03, please see our GEOS-Chem v11-03 benchmark history wiki page.

Unit tests for GEOS-Chem v11-03

We perform a full set of unit tests on GEOS-Chem on an almost daily basis. These tests ensure that each new feature being added does not break any existing functionality.

Here are the unit tests that we ran before submitting 1-month benchmark simulation for v11-03. Click on the links below to see the results from each set of unit tests:

Unit test Date

Previous issues now resolved in GEOS-Chem 12

The following bugs and/or technical issues have been resolved in v11-03.

Outstanding issues not yet resolved in GEOS-Chem 12

The following known issues are slated to be fixed in v11-03:

FlexChem bug fix: do not zero ACTA, EOH, HCOOH

This fix will be included in v11-03.

Katie Travis wrote:

I am working on a VOC simulation, and noticed that in my copy of v11-02f, the following species are set to zero in two places:
     ! Zero certain species
     C(ind_ACTA) = 0.e0_dp
     C(ind_EOH) = 0.e0_dp
     C(ind_HCOOH) = 0.e0_dp
And
  C(ind_ACTA)  = 0.0_dp
  C(ind_HCOOH) = 0.0_dp
Since none of these species are fixed in Tropchem.eqn, shouldn’t they NOT be set to zero?

Mike Long wrote:'

I think the code should be removed. This must have been a patch added to maintain parity with SMVGEAR w/o anticipating that the species would become active.

Avoid double counting CEDS and GEIA NH3 biofuel emissions

This fix will be included in v11-03.

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.
