#At present, we have only created the diff-of-diffs plots for species concentration.  This can be extended to other categories in the future.

== GEOS-Chem Classic 1-year benchmark ==
=== Benchmark plots ===
These benchmarks plots were made using a combination of routines from [https://github.com/geoschem/gcpy GCPy] and [[GAMAP]]. The 6-panel concentration, difference, and fractional difference plots were created with GCPy, while the model vs observation plots, the emissions plots and tables, and the aerosol tables were created with GAMAP because they have not been converted to Python yet.

== GEOS-Chem Classic 1-month benchmark ==
=== Benchmark plots ===
These benchmarks were primarily made with [https://github.com/geoschem/gcpy GCPy]. Some benchmark plots created by GAMAP still remain because they have not been recreated in GCPy yet.

Grid-independent dust emissions

  DST2 Natural              :      8.540177      23.995240      15.455063 Tg

  DST4 Natural              :     16.951628      47.628794      30.677167 Tg
Overall, dust emissions and concentrations increased with the introduction of the grid-independent emissions. The offline dust emissions have been scaled to match 2x2.5 online dust emissions for 2016, so further validation with a 1-year benchmark is needed to ensure these changes make sense.


Grid-independent lightning NOx emissions 

  ###############################################################################
  ### Emissions totals                                                        ###
  ### Ref = GC_12.3.0; Dev = GC_12.4.0                                        ###
  ###############################################################################
                                   Ref            Dev            Dev - Ref
  NO Lightning              :      1.603119       1.700865       0.097746 Tg
Lightning emissions increased slightly when using the grid-independent lightning NOx emissions. The pattern of the changes globally is consistent with the expected changes from caused by regridding. Some differences in the vertical distribution of NOx can be attributed to these changing emissions, with slightly lower emissions aloft and slightly higher emissions in the free troposphere.


Grid-independent biogenic emissions

Biogenic emissions for all species except limonene decreased when using the grid-independent biogenic emissions. This caused decreases in many of the primary and secondary organic species over land.


Grid-independent sea salt emissions

  ###############################################################################
                                   Ref            Dev            Dev - Ref
  SALA Natural              :      4.653316       5.620708       0.967392 Tg
  SALC Natural              :    281.640070     340.191067      58.550997 Tg
Sea salt emissions increased when using the grid-independent sea salt emissions, causing global increases in many of the sea-salt aerosol species (BrSALA, BrSALC, ISALA, ISALC, NITs, SALA, SALC, SO4s) at the surface and aloft.


Grid-independent soil NOx emissions

Soil NO emissions increased slightly when using the grid-independent soil NOx emissions. The pattern of the changes globally is consistent with the expected changes from caused by regridding.


Updated volcano emissions (1978-2019)

  SO2 VolcDegas             :      1.553769       1.509524      -0.044245 Tg
  SO2 VolcErupt             :      0.000000       0.000000       0.000000 Tg
Updating to the newer volcano inventory reduced degassing volcano SO2 emissions by 0.044 Tg. This was expected because the last year of degassing emissions in the previous volcano dataset was 2009, which was a particularly active year. The eruptive volcano SO2 emissions remained at 0.


NOTE: The bug fix to rebuild chemical mechanisms for FAST-JX fix did not impact this benchmark. The bug was introduced in 12.3.2, and would not show up in the comparisons here between 12.3.0 and 12.4.0.

  1. At present, we have only created the diff-of-diffs plots for species concentration. This can be extended to other categories in the future.

GEOS-Chem Classic 1-year benchmark

Benchmark plots

These benchmarks plots were made using a combination of routines from GCPy and GAMAP. The 6-panel concentration, difference, and fractional difference plots were created with GCPy, while the model vs observation plots, the emissions plots and tables, and the aerosol tables were created with GAMAP because they have not been converted to Python yet.

GEOS-Chem Classic 1-month benchmark

Benchmark plots

These benchmarks were primarily made with GCPy. Some benchmark plots created by GAMAP still remain because they have not been recreated in GCPy yet.

NOTES:

  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.
