The AdvFluxVert collection
Here is a sample definition section for the AdvFluxVert collection. This is used to get vertical fluxes of species in advection.
- 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.

This table describes the diagnostic quantities belonging to the AdvFluxVert collection:
- NOTE: You can use this diagnostic to obtain the vertical flux of all species with the ?ADV? wildcard. But in practice, this collection is used to obtain the vertical flux of O3 in advection, which is needed for benchmarking purposes.

The Transport collection
The Transport collection contains diagnostics for age of air. This is used for benchmarking purposes
Here is a sample definition section for the Transport 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.
