Previous issues now resolved in GEOS-Chem 12
The following bugs and/or technical issues have been resolved in GEOS-Chem 12.
Add support for continuous integration with TravisCI
This update will be included in GEOS-Chem 12.1.0.
We have now linked the GEOS-Chem Github repository to the continuous integration tool TravisCI. Each time a commit is pushed to the repository, TravisCI will perform a test to ensure that the commit will not "break" GEOS_Chem. Right now, TravisCI only compiles GEOS-Chem, but we will eventually implement compile-and-run tests in the near future.
You can see the TravisCI status page for GEOS-Chem here: https://travis-ci.com/geoschem/geos-chem/builds
Also, if you navigate to the "commits" page of the GEOS-Chem Github repository], you will see a green checkmark next to each commit that was checked by TravisCI:
NOTE: As of this writing, only the dev/12.1.0 branch is being checked by TravisCI. When we merge this into the master branch, then all future branches will be checked.

Replace HEMCO built-in unit conversions with scale factors in config file
This update will be included in GEOS-Chem 12.1.0.
HEMCO checks the unit string in HEMCO_Config.rc for each emission and converts to HEMCO standard units (kg/m2/s) upon file read if the input units are different. For VOCS, it further converts to kgC/m2/s. The code for the unit conversions is in HEMCO/Core/hco_unit_mod.F90.
Since the automatic unit conversion is performed during HEMCO file read it does not get executed in GCHP which uses MAPL/ESMF for I/O. GCHP users must instead manually include the conversion information as scale factors in HEMCO_Config.rc. To increase clarity and to make GCHP and GCC better match we plan on removing the HEMCO built-in unit conversions and replacing them with scale factors in HEMCO_Config.rc. This change may result in small number differences due to order of operations and precision of scale factors.

Fix typo when registering the State_Chm%SSAlk field
This update was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.1, which was released on 24 Aug 2018.
Shuting Zhai wrote:
I found a typo in state_chm_mod.F90 where we register the State_Chm%SSAlk field. I believe this line:
CALL Register_ChmField( ... State_Chm%pHCloud, ... )
Should be:
CALL Register_ChmField( ... State_Chm%SSAlk, ... )
Upon fixing this issue, the GCST discovered that the State_Chm%SSAlk array cannot be registered as a single array because it is dimensioned as (IIPAR,JJPAR,LLPAR,2). When registering quantities, the 4th dimension is always interpreted as the number of chemical species. Therefore, registering State_Chm%SSAlk in this way caused an error.
The solution is to register the two dimensions of State_Chm%SSAlk separately:
- SSAlkAccum points to State_Chm%SSAlk(:,:,:,1)
- SSAlkCoarse points to State_Chm%SSAlk(:,:,:,2)
This update will require you to list Chem_SSAlkAccum and Chem_SSAlkCoarse as requested diagnostics instead of the single field Chem_SSAlk in the HISTORY.rc file ( which specifies input options for netCDF diagnostics).

Avoid double counting CEDS and GEIA NH3 biofuel emissions
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.0.
Eloise Marais wrote:
If CEDS includes NH3 emissions, then this will be double counting. I recommend using CEDS, as GEIA is very out of date (1998 according to the HEMCO configuration file I have).
Daniel Jacob replied:
We should use the GEIA NH3 natural emission inventory (1° x 1° file from Eleanor Morris) but not the GEIA NH3 biofuel inventory.
UPDATE 29 Jun 2018:
We discovered that HEMCO's default behavior is to ignore the GEIA NH3 anthro and biofuel emissions if CEDS is turned on. This is shown in the HEMCO.log file when VERBOSE = 3:
Register_Base: Checking GEIA_NH3_ANTH HEMCO: Entering Get_targetID (hco_config_mod.F90) ( 4) Skip container GEIA_NH3_ANTH because of CEDS_NH3_WST . . . Register_Base: Checking GEIA_NH3_BIOF HEMCO: Entering Get_targetID (hco_config_mod.F90) ( 4) Skip container GEIA_NH3_BIOF because of CEDS_NH3_WST_Cat00002
But for the sake of clarity, we will modify the HEMCO_Config.rc files to explicitly request this behavior:
(((.not.CEDS.or.EDGARv43 # GEIA NH3 anthro (skip if CEDS or EDGARv43 is on) 0 GEIA_NH3_ANTH $ROOT/NH3/v2014-07/NH3_geos.4x5.nc NH3_ANTH 1990/1-12/1/0 C xy kg/m2/s NH3 - 1 1 # GEIA NH3 biofuel (skip if CEDS or EDGARv43 is on) (((BIOFUEL 0 GEIA_NH3_BIOF $ROOT/NH3/v2014-07/NH3_biofuel.geos.1x1.nc NH3_BIOFUEL 1998/1-12/1/0 C xy kg/m2/s NH3 - 2 1 )))BIOFUEL ))).not.CEDS.or.EDGARv43

Fix issues in complexSOA and complexSOA_SVPOA restart files
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.0.
Eloise Marais wrote:
I just wanted to draw your attention to a few issues with the restart files provided on the ftp site (http://ftp.as.harvard.edu/gcgrid/data/ExtData/SPC_RESTARTS/). The complexSOA and complexSOA_SVPOA restart files (4° x 5° and 2° x 2.5°) both have a species entry for IEPOX and also IEPOXD, IEPOXB, and IEPOXA, but should only have the latter 3. This is the same for RIP. The number of species in the 4° x 5° and 2° x 2.5° files for complexSOA is also different.
To fix these issues, we have generated new restart files for the complexSOA and complexSOA_SVPOA simulations. You can download these to your SPC_RESTARTS folder with the following commands:

Bug fix for reference time in netCDF diagnostic files
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.0.
Maria Zatko wrote:
For the sake of run time, we would like to run GEOS-Chem with the old (15/30 minute timesteps) instead of the recommended timesteps (10/20 minutes). I noticed that the output netcdf files have different timestamps depending on the timestep (e.g., 10/20 minutes, 15/30 minutes) used. For example, when 10/20 minute timesteps are used, the time units in the following netcdf output files range from 0 to 23 UTC:
GEOSChem3hrInst.SpeciesConcWithMet.20150701_0000z.nc4 (file size: 4.6 GB)

time:units = "minutes since 2015-07-01 00:00:00 UTC"
When 15/30 minute timesteps are used, the time units in the following output files include hour 24:
GEOSChem3hrInst.SpeciesConcWithMet.20150701_0000z.nc4 (file size: 4.6 GB)

time:units = "minutes since 2015-07-01 24:00:00 UTC"
I wanted to check in to see if others have run into this issue as well.
Bob Yantosca replied:
This issue is caused by floating-point roundoff error in converting from the Julian date to the calendar date. I have created a more robust fix for this issue, which now computes the correct netCDF file reference time independent of the model "heartbeat" timestep.
To apply the fix:
- Copy the patch file ftp://ftp.as.harvard.edu/pub/exchange/bmy/nc_ref_time_fix.txt to your computational server.
- Change to your GEOS-Chem v11-02 release candidate code directory and check out the "master" branch.
- Type: git am < nc_ref_time_fix.txt
The fix will be standardized in the GEOS-Chem 12.0.0 release.

This appears to set up conflict between the older UCX surface layer and the newer HEMCO methane PBL boundary conditions, causing air to be a mix of preindustrial and present-day values (see below for Jul 1, 2013 surface methane in a benchmark run). Setting it to F and/or removing LCH4SBC causes the methane to behave as expected, i.e., being set by HEMCO in all simulations, with the expected spatial pattern. Also, we can slate Online CH4 chemistry? : T in the Chemistry Menu and Input_Opt%LCH4CHEM for future removal, as it no longer does anything.

Fixed typo in call to GAMMA_HOBr_AER

Xuan Wang wrote:
When looking back at the standard GC codes of v11-02d, I found a bug in the function HETHOBr_SS_JS (in module KPP/Standard/gckpp_HetRates.F90). When calling the gamma calculation, in v11-02d, around line 3514, we have:
CALL Gamma_HOBr_AER(rAer, denAir, 2, TK, clConc, brConc, &

This will cause both HOBr+Cl- (X=1) and HOBr+Br- (X=2) on sea salt use the gamma of HOBr + Br- (X=2). It should be:

Bug fix for liquid water content in gckpp_HetRates.F90
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.0.
Jiayue Huang wrote:
Qianjie Chen and I think that there is potential a bug in KPP/Standard/gckpp_HetRates.F90 for halogen chemistry in the model v11-02d/e/f.
In the original code, we were using the grid-box average liquid water content, which likely underestimates the in-cloud Br- and Cl- concentration. So we think that we should change it to in-cloud liquid water content by dividing the cloud fraction. This results in increases the S(IV)+Br reaction in cloud, and thus reduces the BrO abundance, mainly in the 30-90N region.
This bug fix is to use cloud fraction when calculating liquid water content [cm3 H2O/cm3 air] in routine GET_HALIDE_CLDConc, which is used to calculate the in-cloud concentrations of Br- and Cl-.

The P(H2O2) field is required as input in the aerosol-only simulations. To simplify saving out new oxidant fields, we now include P(H2O2) by default in the prod/loss families so that it is saved out when users turn on the prod/loss diagnostic in either bpch or netCDF format.

Remove duplicate C3HI spectrum in FJX_spec.dat and FJX_j2j.dat
This fix was included in GEOS-Chem 12.0.0.
Tomas Sherwen wrote:
- I've just found that both FJX_spec.dat the redundant CH3I spectrum and the new spectrum are both present in FJX_spec.dat and FJX_j2j.dat (in v12.0.0). This will have been due to the spectrum in my branch being under the species alias of "CH3IT" to preserve (and ignore) the use of "CH3I" in the namespace of the code for the existing methyl iodide simulation when the iodine simulation was developed. The "CH3IT" variables were replaced "CH3I" in the v11-1-Patches branches with halogen chemistry provided to GCST, but the existing methyl iodide simulation variable was not removed. There are no double ups in the KPP mechanism itself.
- Please remove lines 276-281 in FJX_spec.dat (copied below).

TOMAS40 simulations exit with a floating-point exception
We were unit testing the TOMAS40 code in the GEOS-Chem v11-02-release-candidate (soon to be finalized as 12.0.0) with the debugging flags:
make –j8 DEBUG=y BOUNDS=y FPEX=y NO_ISO=y ut &
which revealed a a NaN error. This was thrown at line 903 of GeosCore/tomas_mod.F:
ERR_VAR = 'Gcout'
ERR_MSG = 'After COND_NUC'
! check for NaN and Inf (win, 10/4/08)
do jc = 1, icomp-1
ERR_IND(1) = I
ERR_IND(2) = J
ERR_IND(3) = L
ERR_IND(4) = 0
call check_value( Gcout(jc), ERR_IND, ERR_VAR, ERR_MSG )
! if( IT_IS_FINITE(Gcout(jc))) then
! print *,'xxxxxxxxx Found Inf in Gcout xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
! print *,'Location ',I,J,L, 'comp',jc
! call debugprint( Nkout, Mkout, i,j,l,'After COND_NUC')
! stop
! endif
enddo
This error might be caused by the several chemistry and emissions updates that have been added to GEOS-Chem. The GEOS-Chem Support Team has referred the error to the TOMAS development team, who will be investigating further.

TOMAS simulations cannot use netCDF diagnostics
The TOMAS simulations depend on many of the "binary punch" (aka "bpch") diagnostics. As of this time, we have not yet been able to convert these to the new netCDF diagnostics. Therefore, as of GEOS-Chem 12.0.0, all TOMAS simulations must use the binary punch diagnostic option (which is turned ON by default at compile time). If you try to compile a TOMAS simulation with netCDF diagnostics (i.e. with makefile option NC_DIAG=y), then a compile-time error will be generated.
