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 cfg-hist configuration file (which is located in your GEOS-Chem Classic run directory <rundir>, you will find a list of default diagnostic collections. These are collections that have been predefined for you. You may edit the cfg-hist 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 cfg-hist file.
