README -- HEMCO/CH4/v2024-01/GCC_14_Output/
GEOS-Chem Support Team

This folder contains data from the 10-year benchmark of GEOS-Chem Classic
14.0.0 (from the HEMCO/GCClassic_Output/14.0.0 folder).  We have taken
only the fields that are needed for the CH4 and carbon simulations, namely

In the SpeciesConc collection:

  - SpeciesConc_OH
  - SpeciesConc_Cl

In the ProdLoss collection:

  - ProdCOfromCH4
  - ProdCOfromNMVOC

These data were extracted by running the script

  ./extract_data_and_make_coards_compliant.sh

on a copy of the GCClassic/14.0.0/{2010..2019} folders.

Several variables (i.e. bnds, lon_bnds, lat_bnds, lev_bnds) were removed
in order to allow GCHP to read these data files.
