Emissions
  • geoschem/geos-chem PR #1709
  • NOTE: Will not affect benchmarks, because the benchmark year is 2019, and we are only adding new years 2020-2022.

Melissa Sulprizio (Harvard)
Emissions
Reduce log file output in GEOS-Chem and HEMCO Bob Yantosca (Harvard) Structural
Remove `NcdfUtil/perl` directory from GEOS-Chem and HEMCO Bob Yantosca (Harvard) Structural
Do not halt benchmark simulations and integration/parallel tests if there are missing species in restart files and/or boundary conditions Bob Yantosca (Harvard) Testing
Updates that will only affect GCHP
TBD
