Contains everything in v7-04-12, with the following additions:

Please see the separate wiki page for [[GEOS-Chem v7-04-13]].
 
+
# Offline H2/HD simulation (cf. Lyatt Jaegle et al)
+
# [[Bugs_and_fixes#smvgear.f|Bug fix in "smvgear.f"]] -- due to a design flaw, you could have a situation where you could have negative or    zero tracer in a box even if the global & local error criteria were satisfied.  If this condition is encountered, we now revert to the concentrations at the end of the previous internal timestep, and then reduce the internal timestep and try again until we get convergence.
+
# [[Lightning_NOx_emissions#2The common block bug fix|Bug fix -- replace GEMISNOX w/ module arrays to avoid common block errors in lightning & aircraft NOx emissions]]
+
# [[NOx-Ox-HC-aerosol#variable_tropopause|Bug fix -- cap variable tropopause at 200hPa for polar regions (90S-60S and 60N-90N)]]
+
# [[Lightning_NOx_emissions#24-Sep-2007|Lee Murray's local lightning redistribution of lightning flashes]]
+
# Minor bug fixes for GCAP and diagnostics
+
 
+
Also note that the [[Biomass_burning_emissions#25-Sep-2007|Last year of GFED2 biomass emissions]] is still 2005 in this version.  If you want to use the 2006 emissions you will have to edit the source code module "gfed2_biomass_mod.f".

NOTE: Information subject to change. Please check back here often for the latest information.

v8-02-01

CHEMISTRY RELEASE date TBD

Will contain everything in v8-01-04 plus the following:

  1. Glyoxal chemistry (May Fu)
  2. Updated J(O1D) cross sections (Lin Zhang)
  3. Updated reaction rates (Jingqiu Mao, Dylan Millet, Palmer group @ U. Edinburgh)
  4. HO2 uptake (Lyatt Jaegle)
  5. Updated dust single scattering albedo (Randall Martin)

v8-01-04

Please see the separate wiki page for GEOS-Chem v8-01-04.

v8-01-03

Please see the separate wiki page for GEOS-Chem v8-01-03.

v8-01-02

Please see the separate wiki page for GEOS-Chem v8-01-02.

v8-01-01

Please see the separate wiki page for GEOS-Chem v8-01-01.

v7-04-13

Please see the separate wiki page for GEOS-Chem v7-04-13.

v7-04-12

BETA RELEASE October 2007

  1. Variable tropopause has bug fix from v7-04-11 but not 200 hPa cap at polar latitudes
  2. NOTE: There is a bug in this version when lightning emissions are turned off. The bug will be fixed in v7-04-13. For the time being, if you must turn lighting emissions off in v7-04-12, please do this by setting FLASHRATE = 0 in the lightning_nox_nl_mod.f.

1-Year Benchmarks

We have already done the following 1-year benchmark simulations:

Run1

In FTP directory: /as2/pub/ftp/pub/geos-chem/1yr_benchmarks/v7-04-12/geos4/2005/Run1

View output plots via the web HERE.

  • Run w/ 4x5 GEOS-4 for met field year 2005 (spun up thru 2003 & 2004)
  • with G-C "old" fossil fuel (GEIA + EPA/NEI99)
  • with G-C "default" climatological biomass burning
  • with old lightning parameterization
  • with MEGAN biogenic emissions
  • with SMVGEAR chemistry up to dynamic tropopause
  • with new dust emissions (w/ GOCART source function)
  • with new TOMS/SBUV ozone columns for FAST-J photolysis
  • with variable tropopause on
