Release date: 08 Nov 2024

From CHANGELOG.md

Added

• Added TSOIL1 field to ExtState
• Added download_data.py and download_data.yml to the run folder. These will be copied into HEMCO standalone rundirs
• Added run/cleanRunDir.sh script to remove old output files & log files
• Added documentation for the HEMCO 3.10.0 release, including HEMCO standalone dry-run documentation

Changed

• Added emission factors for ALK6, C4H6, EBZ, STYR, TMB for GFED and FINN biomass burning extensions
• Updated soil NOx extention to include the option to use soil temperature and parameterization based on Yi Wang et al. (ERL, 2021) instead of the temperature at 2 meters.
• Updated HEMCO standalone to print the dry-run header to the HEMCO log file unit HcoState%Config%Err%Lun only if the file is opened
• ReadTheDocs update: Now use GNU 12.2.0 compilers in environment file examples
• Updated runHEMCO.sh standalone script: Change partitions, and pipe output to log file

Fixed

• Fixed formatting error in .github/workflows/stale.yml that caused the Mark Stale Issues action not to run
• Updated to jinja2==3.1.4 in docs/requirements.txt (fixes a security issue)

Removed

• Example "Scale (or zero) emissions with a rectangular mask" from ReadTheDocs. This is currently not working.

See the GEOS-Chem 14.5.0 page for a complete list of updates.
