I have noticed in my ObsPack output that the mixing ratio variable "q" appears to be in units of g/kg based on the magnitudes I am seeing (values ranging 5-17). The ObsPack output gave this a unit label of kg/kg. So, either the data needs to be converted to kg/kg, or the netCDF unit label for q in ObsPack should list g/kg instead. I am not sure if this is only an issue depending on the meteorology one is using, but I am using GEOSFP and GC 12.6.0.

I took a look at this. You are right, the obspack_q variable (specific humidity) should be g/kg, because the SPHU field in GEOS-Chem is g/kg, not kg/kg. We will fix this for 12.9.0.
