1-year benchmarks

For each benchmark run, plots comparing modeled aerosols to observations are now available. The plotting program and observations were provided by Colette Heald.

Run0

Three GEOS-Chem model versions were compared to each other:

Color Quantity Plotted Met Type Anthro emissions Biofuel emissions Lightning Emissions Linoz Annual Mean OH
[105 molec/cm3]
Red v8-02-04-Run1 GEOS-5, 4x5 Same as v8-02-04-Run0 Same as v8-02-04-Run0 Same as v8-02-04-Run0 OFF 11.048
Green v8-02-04-Run2 GEOS-5, 4x5 " " " " " " ON 11.067
Blue v9-01-01-Run0
(w/ post-release patches)
GEOS-5, 4x5 + ICOADS ship emissions
+ Bug fixes for ship emissions
+ Bug fix for biofuels in EPA/NEI05 " " " " 11.865
Black Observations            

The output plots for Run0 (both PostScript and PDF format) may be downloaded from:
