Here we have posted links to a separate wiki page describing each GEOS-Chem model version.

GEOS-Chem development history

In the table below, we list information about current and past GEOS-Chem releases.




GEOS-Chem v11-02-final will also carry the designation GEOS-Chem 12.0.0. We are migrating to a purely numeric versioning system in order to adhere more closely to software development best practices. For a complete description of the new versioning system, please see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page.

Mean OH from GEOS-Chem 1-year benchmark simulations

Here is a plot of the mean OH concentration from several recent GEOS–Chem 1-year benchmark simulations. The mean OH is an indicator how the chemistry mechanism is performing. Typical values are 10–12 x 105 molecules cm-1.
