History diagnostics output

GEOS-Chem History diagnostics are comprised of several diagnostic collections. Each diagnostic collection contains a series of diagnostic fields that may be archived from a GEOS-Chem Classic simulation.

In the HISTORY.rc configuration file (which is located in your GEOS-Chem Classic run directory, you will find a list of default diagnostic collections. These are collections that have been predefined for you. You may edit the this configuration file to select which diagnostic collections you wish to archive from your GEOS-Chem Classic simulation. You may also define your own custom diagnostic collectinons.

The filenames listed below correspond to the default diagnostic collections in the HISTORY.rc configuration file.
