The CO2 collection

The CO2 collection contains diagnostic outputs from the CO2 simulation.

NOTE: Many other diagnostics for the CO2 simulation are archived via HEMCO diagnostics.``

Here is a sample definition section for the CO2 collection.

• If this collection is not already present in the HISTORY.rc file in the GEOS-Chem run directory for your selected simulation, you can copy and paste this into your HISTORY.rc file and edit accordingly.
• To prevent an individual field from being included in the diagnostic output, place a comment character # in front of the field name.
• Please see our Legend for History diagnostics page for more information about each of the collection tags.
