GEOS-Chem Versions Page

This page includes information about GEOS-Chem 13.2.1 which is currently in development.

Version overview

The following items have been added to GEOS-Chem 13.2.1 since the last benchmark for GEOS-Chem 13.2.0. See also the 13.2.1 milestone on Github.

Feature Contributor(s) Model scope Notes
Updates that will affect full-chemistry simulations
Bug fix: Make sure JvalO3O1D and JValO3O3P diagnostic arrays are zeroed in flexchem_mod.F90 Haipeng Lin (Harvard)
Lizzie Lundgren (GCST))
Diagnostics
  • See geoschem/geos-chem #810
  • NOTE: This update will cause JvalO3O1D and JvalO3O3P plots to differ w/r/t previous versions, but will not affect benchmark metrics such as mean OH concentration, MCF lifetime, etc.
Updates that will not affect full-chemistry simulations
Planeflight diagnostic bug fixes:
  • Fixed incorrect unit conversions in planeflight diagnostic output
  • Run stops unexpectedly when converting altitude -> pressure
Tess Carter (MIT)
Bob Yantosca (GCST)
Diagnostics
Fixed typo in gc_grid_mod.F90 that caused a regridding error in nested-grid simulations Lizzie Lundgren (GCST)
Bob Yantosca (GCST)
Grids
Enable nested-grid integration testing with the following updates:

Fullchem

CH4

Bob Yantosca (GCST) Nested-grid &
Testing
Update the download_data.py script to read global settings from a YAML file Bob Yantosca (GCST) Dry-Run
Bug fix: Halt simulation if Restart.frequency does not match Restart.duration in HISTORY.rc (for GEOS-Chem Classic only) Bethany Sutherland (NCST)
Bob Yantosca (GCST)
Diagnostics
Bug fix: Compute grid box latitude edges properly for nested-grid simulations
  • This fixes a bug introduced by the GCAP 2.0 met field updates in 13.1.0
Bob Yantosca (GCST) Horizontal Grids
Now zero geogenic Hg emissions if LAnthroHgOnly flag is turned on Harriet Gounia (Wollongong)
Jenny Fisher (Wollongong)
Bob Yantosca (GCST)
Hg simulation
In TPCORE_NESTED, set iord_bg=iord and jord_bg=jord Eloise Marais (UCL) Nested Grids
Transport
Updates that will only affect GCHP
Bug fix for vertical scale factors in ExtData.rc Seb Eastham (MIT)
Melissa Sulprizio (GCST)
Config files
Bug fix for better error messages if GCHP throws an error during set up. Liam Bindle (WashU) MAPL
NetCDF read errors now print an error message that includes the offending file's path and a description of the error. Liam Bindle (WashU) MAPL
Minor GCHP run directory updates Lizzie Lundgren (GCST) Rundir creation
Add WashU data server to GCHP data download script Liam Bindle (WashU) Data download

New data directories

The following data directories have been added or updated in this version. You will have to download the directories relevant to your simulation.
