    Zero dust deposition flux from CAM4 to CLM4 in CESM1.2.2 run with prog dust

    Hi all, I am trying to run a few CESM1.2.2 runs to examine the effect of dust in a paleoclimate scenerio. I set "CAM_CONFIG_OPTS" to "-phys cam4 -prog_species DST" and included modifications per Albani 2014. While DST01DD to DST04DD, DSTSFDRY and DSTSFWET have reasonable values, DF_DST01-04...

    Aerosol residence time

    Hello there! I'm trying to calculate the residence time of atmospheric aerosols, which variables from the CESM1.2 output should I use? I've learned that I can calculate residence time from both emission and removal perspectives, but I'm not sure how to do it. Thank you in advance!

    Is the aerosol in CAM affected by land?

    Hi, I am new in CAM. I would like to ask whether the land use change can affect aerosol simulated by CAM. I am using CESM2.1.5 (with CAM6) and FHIST compset. I am running a simulation with land use changes. What I have known is that there is no aerosol emissions from CLM. According to the...

    Testing IPTpy: Python-Based Input Processing Tools

    Hi all, We are excited to introduce IPTpy, a Python-based input processing tool that generates global 0.9° × 1.25° anthropogenic emissions using CAMS5.3, CAMS6.2, and CEDSv2021_04_21 inventories. We are looking for testers to try out the IPTpy by GitHub clone and provide valuable feedback...

    NOx and NH3 of the FCHIST

    Hi all, I'm using the FCHIST mode of the CESM 2.1.3 and I'm using the model to run sensitivities for NOx and NH3. I have two problems: 1.The model output results are in mol/mol, how should I convert them to ug/m-3.(especially NOY,noy = total nitrogen...

    Sulfate versus snowpack rates in CESM2.1.3

    Hi all, I'm using the CESM 2.1.3 model for SO2 sensitivity testing (other variables like BC, DMS, etc. are all 0), and I'm using (so4_a1_SRF+so4_a2_SRF+so4_a3_SRF)*1.29 calculating the sulfate concentration. I found that it is not the case that the higher the sulfate concentration, the greater...

    Issue with chemistry preprocessor

    Hi all, I am currently trying to add a new tracer to CAM-Chem in CESM2.1.5. My first step to do so is to copy the chem_mech.in file from pp_trop_mam4_vbs elsewhere and modify it to add the new aerosol. However, when doing so I encounter the following error: ERROR: Command...

    How to convert mass emission (kg/m2/s) to emission (molecules/cm3/s)?

    Hi, everyone. I have 1 question about the unit convertion. I want to use CEDS emission data to simulate. I want to use the emission from aircraft so I think I must convert its unit (kg/m2/s) to molecules/cm3/s. I try to calculate but I do not know if my calculation is right. My calculation is...

    Creating emission files: question about lev

    Hello guys! I want to replace the default SO2 emission with my own SO2 emissions. However, I don't know what the dimension 'lev' means. Also, I don;t know the unit of it.

    No AOD outputs at regions north of 67°N

    What version of the code are you using? - I ran FCnudged using CAM6.3 and CTSM5.2. Have you made any changes to files in the source tree? - No When I checked the output of AODVIS, the northern regions did not have data. Could anyone tell me why? Is it due to SGLC or is it due to using FV...
