1-month full-chemistry benchmarks
Benchmark simulations typically aren't performed for bug fix releases, but in this case the initial conditions of full-chemistry simulations were impacted because the sample restart file has been updated. Here we document the changes from that update.
1-month benchmark setup
The following table describes the GEOS-Chem setup for both GEOS-Chem Classic and GCHP 1-month benchmark simulations.
