Revision as of 20:04, 22 April 2008

NOTE: The order in which various future-scheduled updates enter into the standard GEOS-Chem code may differ than what is listed here, depending on circumstances. Please check back here often.

v8-01-04

Also adds:

v8-01-03

Also will add:

  1. EPA/NEI99 California transport sector fix
  2. Updated MEGAN annual emission factors for isoprene
  3. PERHAPS -- Updated mercury simulation (cf. Noelle, Elsie, Chris, Sarah Strode, etc.)

v8-01-02

Also will add:

  1. May Fu's updated chemistry mechanism ???
  2. New scale factors for anthropogenic emissions (cf. Aaron van Donkelaar)

v8-01-01

PUBLIC RELEASE scheduled for April 2008

Release Notes

Contains everything in v7-04-13, with the following additions:

  1. Compatibility for GEOS-5 met fields.
  2. Now uses RPMARES instead of ISORROPIA
  3. Implements floating point error traps (e.g. to prevent division by zero) in a few critical places

Also note that we have implemented the fix for the Last year of GFED2 biomass emissions, (which is now 2006) into v8-01-01.

1-Year Benchmarks

We have done two 1-year benchmarks for GEOS-Chem v8-01-01:

Run0

The 3 models compared (and their colors on the plots) were:

Color Quantity Plotted Met Field Type Lightning algorithm A.T.E. algorithm
Red v7-04-12 Run2 GEOS-4 4x5 near-land w/ OTD-LIS regional scaling ISORROPIA
Green v7-04-13 GEOS-4 4x5 updated non-near-land w/ OTD-LIS local scaling ISORROPIA
Blue v8-01-01 GEOS-5 4x5 updated non-near-land w/ OTD-LIS local scaling ISORROPIA
Black Observations      

NOTES for Run0:

  1. This benchmark uses the same input conditions and emissions as v7-04-13.
    • The only difference is that this benchmark was done w/ GEOS-5 met and v7-04-13 was done w/ GEOS-4 met.
  2. Use Run0 if you need to make a clean comparison between the GEOS-4 and GEOS-5 met fields.
  3. Results from Run0 may be viewed on the web HERE.

Run1

The 3 models compared (and their colors on the plots) were:

Color Quantity Plotted Met Field Type Lightning algorithm A.T.E. algorithm
Red v7-04-13 GEOS-4 4x5 updated non-near-land w/ OTD-LIS local scaling ISORROPIA
Green v8-01-01 GEOS-5 4x5 updated non-near-land w/ OTD-LIS local scaling ISORROPIA
Blue v8-01-01 GEOS-5 4x5 updated non-near-land w/ OTD-LIS local scaling RPMARES
Black Observations      

NOTES for Run1:

  1. The only difference between Run0 and Run1 is that Run0 uses ISORROPIA and Run1 uses RPMARES to compute the aerosol thermodynamical equilibrium. We recently learned that ISORROPIA can return incorrect values at low RH.
    • Use Run0 if you need to make a clean comparison between ISORROPIA and RPMARES.
  2. Results from Run0 may be viewed on the web HERE.

v7-04-13

BETA RELEASE November 2007

Release Notes

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

  1. Offline H2/HD simulation (cf. Lyatt Jaegle et al)
  2. 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.
  3. Bug fix -- replace GEMISNOX w/ module arrays to avoid common block errors in lightning & aircraft NOx emissions
  4. Bug fix -- cap variable tropopause at 200hPa for polar regions (90S-60S and 60N-90N)
  5. Lee Murray's local lightning redistribution of lightning flashes
  6. Minor bug fixes for GCAP and diagnostics

Also note that the 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".

1-Year Benchmarks

Run

The 3 models compared (and their colors on the plots) were:

Color Quantity Plotted Met Type Lightning algorithm
Red v7-04-12 Run1 GEOS-4 4x5 ancient
Green v7-04-12 Run2 GEOS-4 4x5 near-land w/ OTD-LIS regional scaling
Blue v7-04-13 GEOS-4 4x5 updated non-near-land w/ OTD-LIS local scaling
Black Observations    

NOTES:

  1. Results from v7-04-13-Run can be downloaded from FTP directory
    • pub/geos/1yr_benchmarks/v7-04-13/geos4/2005/Run/output/pdf
  2. Output plots from v7-04-13-Run can be viewed on the web HERE.
  3. v7-04-13-Run uses the same input conditions and emissions as v7-04-12-Run2, except for the updated lightning emissions as described above.

v7-04-12

BETA RELEASE October 2007

Release Notes

  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:
