GEOS-Chem v11-02-final will also carry the designation GEOS-Chem 12.0.0. We are migrating to a purely numeric versioning system in order to adhere more closely to software development best practices. For a complete description of the new versioning system, please see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page.


On this page we have posted complete information about all benchmark simulations (both 1-month and 1-year) for GEOS-Chem 12.

Comments on SURFACE differences: Below we summarize the notable changes caused by specific updates.


Turn off TRASH emissions by default to avoid double counting

  • This update resulted in slightly reduced concentrations over land for many species.

Add entries to HEMCO_Config.rc for SOAP and pFe in CEDS inventory

  • This fix caused increases in SOAP, SOAS, and pFe concentrations globally.

Bug fix for CH4 boundary conditions

  • This fix resulted in increased CH4 concentrations in the troposphere.

Bug fix for liquid water content in gckpp_HetRates.F90

  • This fix reduced many Br and Cl species concentrations globally while increasing HBr, BrSALA, and BrSALC.

Fix typo in call to GAMMA_HOBr_AER

  • This fix caused slight changes in Br and Cl species concentrations, mainly over the oceans

Fixes to DICE-Africa emissions

  • These updates primarily caused increases in species concentrations near the surface over and downwind of Africa.

Bug fix in FlexChem: do not zero out ACTA, EOH, HCOOH concentrations

  • This fix caused large increases in ACTA and HCOOH at all levels

Add GFED4.1 data for 2016 and 2016

  • Updating the GFED4 year from 2014 to 2016 caused >10% increases and decreases in species concentrations over land globally.

The following updates impacted species concentrations slightly, but the changes did not amount to >10%.

At 500 hPa, list all species that changed by 10% or more: NO, PAN, CO, ALK4, ISOP, HNO3, ACET, MEK, ALD2, RCHO, MVK, MACR, NPMN, PPN, R4N2, PRPE, C3H8, C2H6, N2O5, HNO4, MP, DMS, SO2, SO4, NH3, NH4, NIT, NITs, BCPI, BCPO, OCPI, OCPO, Br2, Br, BrO, HOBr, HBr, BrNO2, BrNO3, MPN, ISOPND, ISOPNB, MOBA, PROPNN, HAC, GLYC, MVKN, MACRN, MAP, NO2, NO3, HNO2, BENZ, TOLU, XYLE, MTPA, LIMO, MTPO, TSOG*, TSOA*, ISOG*, ISOA*, ASOG*, ASOA*, SOAP, SOAS, EOH, MGLY, GLYX, ACTA, HPALD, DHDN, ETHLN, HCOOH, IEPOX*, ISN1, RIP*, IMAE, SOAIE, SOAME, SOAGX, SOAMG, LVOC, LVOCOA, ISN1OG, ISN1OA, MONITS, MONITU, HONIT, MONITA, INDIOL, IPMN, HC187, BrCl, HCl, Cl, ClO, HOCl, ClNO3, ClNO2, ClOO, OClO, Cl2, Cl2O2, BrSALA, BrSALC, CH2I2, CH2ICl, CH2IBr, HOI, I2, IBr, ICl, I, IO, HI, OIO, INO, IONO, IONO2, I2O2, I2O3, I2O4, pFe, OH
