On this page we have posted complete information about all benchmark simulations (both 1-month and 1-year) for GEOS-Chem v11-01.

1-year benchmarks

1-month benchmarks

v11-01a

Here is the assessment form for 1-month benchmark simulation v11-01a.

  • NOTE: Unit tests for tagged CO were not performed, since this simulation is not yet 100% compatible with HEMCO.
Description
New features added into GEOS-Chem:

Features affecting the full-chemistry simulation in this benchmark:

  • Fixes to use dry air mass in some unit conversions instead of moist air mass

Features not affecting the full-chemistry simulation in this benchmark:
