== 1-month benchmark ==
This page includes information about benchmark simulations for [[GEOS-Chem 12#12.3.2|GEOS-Chem 12.3.2]].
== 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 ===
=== Benchmark plots ===


This is the first GEOS-Chem benchmark to utilize [https://github.com/geoschem/gcpy GCPy]. Some benchmark plots created by GAMAP still remain because they have not been recreated in GCPy yet. To view the entirety of the old version of benchmark plots created by GAMAP, visit http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/geos-chem/1mo_benchmarks/GC_12/12.3.0/GCC/output/.
This table contains plots comparing GEOS-Chem Classic 12.3.0 (Ref) vs. GEOS-Chem Classic 12.3.2 (Dev).

#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

This page includes information about benchmark simulations for GEOS-Chem 12.3.2.

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.

  1. Category and lumped species definitions are simple to adjust. Updating them requires only editing the json files.
  2. All plots created with GCPy have PDF bookmarks. If you do not see them in your browser try using a different browser (not Safari) or installing an Adobe Acrobat plug-in.

Metrics
Global mean OH from log file (% change): 12.5657321664519 x 105 molec/cm3 (0.27%)
Methyl chloroform lifetime (% change): 4.9303 years (-0.36%)

  • Secondary Organics: MEK MVK CH2O HPALD MP ISOPN IEPOX ACTA
  • ROy: H2O2 H HO2 O1D OH RO2
  • Sulfur: SOx SO2 SO4
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.
At 500hPA, list all species that changed by 10% or more: Same as for surface
Comments on 500 hPa differences: See comments for surface differences
In ZONAL MEANS, list all species that changed by 10% or more: Same as for surface
Comments on ZONAL MEAN differences: See comments for surface differences
In the EMISSION RATIO maps, list all species that changed by 10% or more: None
Comments on EMISSION RATIO differences: Emissions in 12.3.2 are 100% identical to 12.3.0
Additional or summary comments: The bug fixes for FAST-JX resulted in very small changes w/r/t the 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.

Comments on additional differences in GCHP:
  1. 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.
  2. Differences in stratospheric aerosol OD have been noted due to resolution sensitivities in UCX.
  3. The polar chlorine differences are likely due to the (lack of) polar averaging in GCHP and differences in “true” resolution.
  4. Concentrations of marine bromine species improved but remain elevated in GCHP relative to GCC
