Other diagnostic output files

HEMCO diagnostic output

HEMCO diagnostics generate netCDF-format files in the OutputDir/ subdirectory of your GEOS-Chem run directory. You may change this filepath by editing the HEMCO_Config.rc configuration file.

HEMCO diagnostic files use the naming convention HEMCO_diagnostics.YYYYMMDDhhmm.nc, where YYYYMMDD and hhmm refer to the model date and time at which each file was created.

For more information, please see our HEMCO user manual at hemco.readthedocs.io.

Planeflight diagnostic output

The GEOS-Chem plane-following diagnostic generates text files in the top-level of your GEOS-Chem Classic run directory. You may change this filepath by editing the planeflight section of geoschem_config.yml.

Planeflight diagnostic files use the naming convention plane.log.YYYYMMDDhhmm, where YYYYMMDD refers to the model date at which each diagnostic file is created.

ObsPack diagnostic output

The GEOS-Chem ObsPack diagnostic generates netCDF-format files in the top-level of your GEOS-Chem Classic run directory. You may change this filepath by editing the ObsPack section of geoschem_config.yml.

ObsPack diagnostic files use the naming convention GEOS-Chem.ObsPack.YYYYMMDD_hhmmz.nc4, where YYYYMMDD and hhmm refers to the model date a which each diagnostic file is created, and z refers to UTC (aka Zulu time).
