GEOS-Chem 14.4.2

Release date: 2024-07-24

From CHANGELOG.md

Added

• Added number of levels with clouds for photolysis to geoschem_config.yml and Input_Opt to pass to Cloud-J
• Added State_Grid%CPU_Subdomain_ID and State_Grid%CPU_Subdomain_FirstID as "identifier numbers" for multiple instances of GEOS-Chem on one core in WRF and CESM

Changed

• Now reset State_Diag%SatDiagnCount to zero in routineHistory_Write (instead of in History_Netcdf_Write)
• Update rundir creation scripts to turn off the MEGAN extension for "standard" fullchem simulations
• Updated emissions used in CESM to match standard emissions used in the 14.4 offline model
• Disable support For FAST-JX for all simulations except Hg
• Only read photolysis data in Init_Photolysis in first instance of GEOS-Chem on each PET in CESM as PIO requires it

Fixed

• Typo in setCommonRunSettings.sh that made GCHP always choose mass fluxes for meteorology
• Fixed bug in # levels with cloud used in photolysis when using GCAP met or CESM
• Fixed typos for SatDiagnEdge collection in HISTORY.rc templates
• The SatDiagnOH diagnostic now works for the carbon simulation

Removed

• Entry SatDiagnPEDGE from the SatDiagn collection; This needs to go into the SatDiagnEdge collection.
