Species Database Phase 3:

 Science GCST
Updated organic deposition Science Katie Travis (Harvard)
Jenny Fisher (U. Wollongong)
Remove dependence of species drydep on HNO3 drydep Science Katie Travis (Harvard)
Jenny Fisher (U. Wollongong)
  • NOTE: This was mostly achieved in GEOS-Chem v11-01, with the implementation of the GEOS-Chem species database. For example, N2O5 (which used to depend on the drydep velocity of HNO3) is now assigned the relevant dry deposition parameters in the species database. The dry deposition velocity N2O5 is now computed explicitly. This eliminates the need to manually assign the dry deposition velocity of HNO3 to N2O5 (which was done with confusing code).

Validation

In this section we provide information about the benchmarks and tests that we have done to validate GEOS-Chem v11-01.

1-month and 1-year benchmarks

For complete information about the benchmark simulations used to validate GEOS-Chem v11-02, please see our GEOS-Chem v11-02 benchmark history wiki page.

Unit tests for GEOS-Chem v11-02

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 v11-02. Click on the links below to see the results from each set of unit tests:
