Version history summary
| Past releases | Current release: GEOS-Chem 13.0.0 | Future releases |
The sections below describe each GEOS-Chem feature version and GEOS-Chem bug fix patch version belonging to the GEOS-Chem 12 series. Each feature version carries the tag 12.Y.0, which indicates that the version will be (or has been) validated with a 1-month benchmark simulation (and one or more 1-year benchmark simulations if necessary). Each patch version carries the tag 12.Y.Z, which denotes that the version preserves backwards-compatibility with the prior feature version 12.Y.0. For more information, please see our GEOS-Chem version numbering system wiki page.
Several GEOS-Chem updates have been proposed by the relevant Working Groups, but have not yet been assigned to a specific GEOS-Chem version. For a complete list of these updates, please visit our GEOS-Chem model development priorities wiki page.
Current versions in development
The GEOS-Chem versions listed below are currently under development.
13.0.0
Please see our GEOS-Chem 13.0.0 wiki page.
Current stable version
The GEOS-Chem version listed below is considered stable and can be used to start a new research project. This version corresponds to the master branch of the GEOS-Chem source code repository on Github.
NOTE: In GEOS-Chem 13.0.0 and later versions, the master branch will be renamed to main.
Each released version of GEOS-Chem will be assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This will allow you to cite each GEOS-Chem version in publications. We also have obtained a "Concept DOI", which will always point to the current stable version of GEOS-Chem: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.1343546. This can be convenient if you wish to cite GEOS-Chem without making reference to a particular version.
12.9.3
This version contains additional fixes for bugs and technical issues discovered after the release of 12.9.2.
This version was released on 06 Aug 2020.
This version contains additional fixes for bugs and technical issues discovered during the 12.9.0 benchmarking process.
You can use the following Git commands to download the GEOS-Chem 12.9.2 source code and GEOS-Chem Unit Tester package.
NOTE: In GEOS-Chem 13.0.0 and later versions, run directory generation will be moved to the GEOS-Chem source code repository. The Unit Tester repository will be retired.

New data directories in 12.1.0
The following data directories have been added or updated in this version. You will have to download the directories relevant to your simulation.
| Inventory | Type | What was added? | Directory |
|---|---|---|---|
| DUST DEAD | DEFAULT | Anthropogenic PM2.5 dust source | HEMCO/DUST_DEAD/v2018-04/ |
| GEOS-Chem restart files | DEFAULT | GEOS-Chem restart file updates: New variables, new variable names, new file names | GEOSCHEM_RESTARTS/v2018-11/ |
| Input files for FAST-JX | DEFAULT | Move Fast-JX .dat files from the geos-chem-unittest repository to gcgrid/ExtData | CHEM_INPUTS/FAST_JX/v2018-09/ |
| RRTMG input data | OPTIONAL | netCDF input data files for the RRTMG specialty simulation (converted from the old "binary punch" format files) | HEMCO/RRTMG/v2018-11/ |
