== GEOS-Chem Classic 1-month benchmark ==

''NOTE: The GEOS-Chem "Classic" benchmark for 12.3.2 is an unofficial benchmark.  GEOS-Chem "Classic" 12.4.0 will be compared against GEOS-Chem "Classic" 12.3.0.  We ran this 12.3.2 benchmark so as to facilitate comparison with GCHP and also to test the new GCPy benchmark plotting package.''

=== Benchmark plots ===

This table contains plots comparing GEOS-Chem Classic 12.3.0 (Ref) vs. GEOS-Chem Classic 12.3.2 (Dev).

|Comments on SURFACE differences:
|
*As emissions did not change between versions, we can likely attribute these to the updates to FAST-JX.
*Many species showed larger percent differences in areas where concentrations were very small.

|-valign="top"
|At 500hPA, list all species that changed by 10% or more:
|Same as for surface

|In the EMISSION RATIO maps, list all species that changed by 10% or more:
|None 

|-valign="top"
|Comments on EMISSION RATIO differences:
|Emissions in 12.3.2 are 100% identical to 12.3.0

|-valign="top"
|Additional or summary comments:
|The bug fixes for FAST-JX resulted in very small changes w/r/t the [[Benchmark/GEOS-Chem 12.3.0|12.3.0 1-month benchmark]]:
*Mean OH changed by +0.2782%
*MCF lifetime changed by -0.3597%
*CH4 lifetime changed by -0.3936%

The fix to make species H2402 consistent between GCHP and GC "Classic" resulted in very minor additional changes on top of the FAST-JX fixes:
*Mean OH changed by -0.0002%
*MCF lifetime was unchanged
*CH4 lifetime changed by +0.0012%

So it appears that most of the changes between 12.3.0 and 12.3.2 are being driven by the bug fixes to FAST-JX.

|-valign="top"
|Comments on additional differences in GCHP:
|
#Additional differences exist for dust (and to a lesser extent other natural sources with resolution dependence) that are driven by emission differences.
#*GCST NOTE: We expect these to be resolved by the grid-independent dust emissions in version 12.4.0.
#Differences in stratospheric aerosol OD have been noted due to resolution sensitivities in UCX.
#The polar chlorine differences are likely due to the (lack of) polar averaging in GCHP and differences in “true” resolution.
#Concentrations of marine bromine species improved but remain elevated in GCHP relative to GCC
