High-Performance GEOS-Chem (GCHP)
Please see the GCHP user manual at gchp.readthedocs.iofor more information.
Where can I get restart files for GEOS-Chem?
For instructions on how to obtain a set of sample restart files that you can use to spin up your own simulations, please visit this link.
Running GEOS-Chem
Please see the Run your simulation section of geos-chem.readthedocs.io.. for more information.
There are several ways to speed up a slow GEOS-Chem simulation. If you are archiving many diagnostic quantities are a high temporal resolution (e.g. every hour), then this will increase the run time of your simulation. You can try saving out less diagnostic quantities, or archiving at a lower temporal resolution (e.g. every day).
