Version overview

The following items have been added to GEOS-Chem 14.0.0 since the last GEOS-Chem version GEOS-Chem 13.4.0. Also see the following Github pages:

Feature Contributor(s) Model scope Notes and references
Updates that will affect full-chemistry benchmark simulations
Add several fixes to remove GCHP differences when splitting up simulations Lizzie Lundgren (GCST) Initialization
  • geoschem/geos-chem PR #1229
  • GCHP simulations are now identical if broken up into shorter simulations
  • Differences in GCClassic still exist (under investigation)
Remove TMPU1, SPHU1, PS1_WET, and PS1_DRY from GCClassic restart file Lizzie Lundgren (GCST) Restart files
Updates that will NOT affect full-chemistry benchmark simulations

1-month internal benchmarks

Each update that will introduce a significant change in the full-chemistry simulation is tagged with an alpha version in Git. For each of these alpha versions, the GCST runs an internal 1-month benchmark simulation to isolate the impact from that update.

For more details on the update(s) included in each alpha version and a link to benchmark results, see this Google sheet.
