GEOS-Chem Classic 13.4.0

Release date: 02 May 2022

Updates that will affect full-chemistry benchmark simulations

• Migrate sulfate chemistry into KPP
• Convert the HOCl & HOBr reactions with dissolved SO2 to use gas phase SO2
• Turn off sea salt debromination by default
• Fix bug in Henry law CALC_HEFF routine in hetchem computations
