On this page we list the current priorities for GEOS-Chem development. This list is continuously updated based on code readiness and input from the Working Groups and the Steering Committee.

We also invite you to view our GEOS-Chem Support Team project management board on Trello.com, which shows the current GCST workflow.

Priorities assigned to upcoming GEOS-Chem versions

12.8.0

This version is currently in development. See the GEOS-Chem 12 wiki page for details.

12.9.0

This version will require 1-month and 1-year full-chemistry benchmarks.

Feature Submitted by Type Notes
Features affecting the full-chemistry simulation
Updated halogen chemistry Xuan Wang (Harvard)
Tomas Sherwen (York)
Shuting Zhai (UW)
Science
  • Delivered to GCST (Sep 2019)
  • Originally implemented in v11-02e and updated to 12.5.0 by Will Downs (GCST)
Fix incorrect rates in stratosphere for HOBr + SO3/HSO3 Seb Eastham (MIT) Science
Features NOT affecting the full-chemistry simulation

13.0.0

Feature Submitted by Type Notes
Updates that will NOT affect full-chemistry simulations
Retire the GNU Make build system in both GEOS-Chem Classic and GCHP and replace with CMake Liam Bindle (WashU) Structural
Retire the GEOS-Chem Unit Tester repository and move GEOS-Chem run directory creation to the GEOS-Chem source code repository Melissa Sulprizio (GCST) Structural
Make HEMCO a Git submodule in GEOS-Chem GCST Structural
Dynamic diagnostic array size allocation based on settings in HISTORY.rc Bob Yantosca (GCST) Structural
Features only affecting GCHP:
Retire the existing GCHP repository and replace with a new wrapper repository that uses ESMF as an external library and integrates GEOS-Chem and NASA/GMAO GEOS-ESM git repositories as git submodules Lizzie Lundgren (GCST) Structural
Separate HEMCO from GEOS-Chem to use as an ESMF gridded component in GCHP Lizzie Lundgren (GCST) Structural
