This benchmark simulation is GEOS-Chem v11-01g-Run0. The following
updates since GEOS-Chem v11-01f-geosfp-Run0 have been applied:

    VERSION | FEATURES INCLUDED                           | APPROVAL DATE
   =======================================================================
    v11-01g   - FlexChem                                    TBD
              - 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
 
This benchmark simulation uses the standard chemistry mechanism (i.e. tropchem
+ UCX + SOA ) and 72 vertical levels.
