PUBLIC RELEASE scheduled for April 2008


Contains everything in v7-04-13, with the following additions:
=== GEOS-Chem Benchmarking Procedure ===
* This is the first version to be compatible with the [[wiki:geos-chem:geos5_forum|GEOS-5 met fields]].


=== 1-Year Benchmarks ===
For a complete description about the the standard 1-month and 1-year benchmark simulations, please see our [[GEOS-Chem_benchmarking|''GEOS-Chem Benchmarking'' wiki page]].


==== Description ====
=== Mean OH from GEOS-Chem 1-year benchmark simulations ===


* Results from v8-01-01 1-year benchmark simulation (w/ GEOS-5 met) are contained in the FTP directory:
Please see [[Mean_OH_concentration#Evolution_of_mean_OH_in_GEOS-Chem|our ''Evolution of mean OH in GEOS-Chem'' wiki page]].
<tt>/pub/geos-chem/1yr_benchmarks/v7-04-12/geos5/2005/Run</tt>
* This benchmark uses the same input conditions and emissions as v7-04-13.  The only difference is that this benchmark was done w/ GEOS-5 met and v7-04-13 was done w/ GEOS-4 met.


The 3 models compared (and their colors on the plots) were:
=== Global burden history ===
 
Please see [[Global_Burden_History|our ''Global burden history'' wiki page]] to view the global burdens for several species from several recent GEOS-Chem 1-year benchmark simulations.
 
=== GEOS-Chem Benchmark Performance ===
 
For an overview of GEOS-Chem 1-month benchmark timing results, please see our [[GEOS-Chem 1-month benchmark timing results|''GEOS-Chem 1-month benchmark timing results'' wiki page]].
 
== GEOS-Chem 14 release series ==
 
* Please see our [[GEOS-Chem no-diff-to-benchmark]] wiki page for information about updates that can be merged at any time.

# NOTE: There is a bug in this version when [[wiki:geos-chem:lightning_forum|lightning emissions are turned off]]. The bug will be fixed in [[wiki:geos-chem:dev_forum#v7-04-13|v7-04-13]].  For the time being, if you must turn lighting emissions off in v7-04-12, please do this by setting FLASHRATE = 0 in the lightning_nox_nl_mod.f.

Latest revision as of 15:32, 20 November 2024

This page contains links to wiki pages describing past GEOS-Chem model releases. For information about upcoming releases see the GEOS-Chem model development priorities wiki page.

GEOS-Chem development history

In the tables below, we list information about current and past GEOS-Chem releases.

Some notes for the tables below:

  • Information about benchmarks can be found by following the links in the "Benchmarks" column
  • GCC = GEOS-Chem "Classic" (uses OpenMP parallelization single node only)
  • GCHP = GEOS-Chem High Performance (uses MPI parallelization across multiple nodes)
  • DOI = digital object identifier, can be used to reference individual GEOS-Chem versions in publications
  • AMI = Amazon Machine Image, which provides GEOS-Chem Classic on the AWS Cloud

Also see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page for information on how GEOS-Chem versions are labeled.
