              - Update 4x5 soil Hg files and Hg simulation
                photoreduction and soil emission
                coefficients
              - Parallelization bug fixes for GEOS-5 Hg
                simulations
              - Bug fixes for HEMCO, including:
                * Fix missing pointer in call to
                  HCO_CalcVertGrid
                * Fix bug preventing HEMCO from writing
                  restart files more than once per run
              - NetCDF Output Phase 2: Use netCDF restart
                files for Hg simulation
              - Restore the tagged CO specialty simulation
              - Updates for High Performance GEOS-Chem
                (GCHP) Dev release, includes:
                * Prevent segmentation fault in HEMCO that
                  can happen with Intel Fortran Compiler
                  v12 or newer
              - Do not nullify local pointers in the same
                line where they are declared
              - Improved species indexing
              - Add PM2.5 diagnostic
    v11-01h   - Fix to remove moisture signature in dry     TBD
                mixing ratio
              - Modifications for running nested Asia
	        simulations with MERRA-2
	      - Bug fixes for the dry deposition diagnostic
	        when using TURBDAY
    

This simulation utilized GEOS-FP met fields for the year 2013, with a 4-year
spinup repeating 2013 meteorology. The full PBL mixing scheme (TURBDAY) was
used.
