    Near-surface sulfuric acid distribution

    I recently used CESM2.2.0 to simulate global near-surface gaseous sulfuric-acid concentrations. The results look wrong: over East and South Asia the modeled near-surface gaseous H₂SO₄ mixing ratios are extremely low. I made no other modifications—just ran the standard workflow.

    Some questions about MOSAIC

    Hi everyone Recently, I need to use MOSAIC scheme in CESM to finish my final project of one course. I have used CESM2.2.2 but I have never used chemsitry related models so I have many questions: 1. I do not know if I couple this scheme correctly. At the beginning, I follow Use MOSAIC scheme...

    Query regarding emission datasets in CAM6

    Hi all, I went though some of the forum threads and saw that you can use daily emissions datasets with CAM. I looked at some of the extended inventories as mentioned here Emission Inventories - CAM-Chem - wiki.ucar.edu, and while for biomass burning they're present, there seems to be no such...

    CAM4 Uniform Aerosol Simulation Issue: Modern Topography Effects on AEROD_v and FSDS

    Hello everyone, I am using CESM1.2 with the CAM4 component for a paleoclimate simulation with an ancient topography. I have set up globally uniform aerosol forcing by modifying the input files for prescribed aerosols (prescribed_aero_file) and aerosol deposition fluxes (aerodep_flx_file) to be...

    Questions on O3S(Stratospheric Ozone Tracer) calculation

    Dear Community, I run a CESM2.2.0 case with FCSD compset during 1980-2022. The resolution is 0.9°*1.25° with 56 vertical levels. The meteorological field is nudged to MERRA2 and CMIP6 historical emissions are used. I want to analyse the contribution of STT (Stratosphere-to-Troposphere...

    Question on BVOC-to-SOA Conversion

    Dear Community, I am interested in comparing the differences in BVOC species (e.g., ISOP) contributions to SOA formation rates between two sets of atmospheric-only simulations—one with higher O₃ concentrations and one with lower O₃ concentrations. Could you please advise which variable would...

    Replacing the Dust Aerosol Online Calculation with Emission Data Yielded Significantly Different Outcomes.

    I am running simulation with CESM2.1.4. The model uses MAM4 to calculate aerosol number concentration and mass concentration. What I want to do: Simulation 1: output the emission flux of dust (both number and mass flux) Simulation 2: read in the (daily) output of dust number and mass flux from...

    compsets that have HFCs?

    Hi everyone, I am trying to model HFCs using CESM2.1.5. Wondering if there are any compsets that contain HFCs or HFC-134a-equivalent in its lower boundary condition files? I have found CFC11eq in other compsets (such as FW1850) but no HFCs. I would really appreciate any help on this!

    Compset question

    Hi, I am using the cesm3_beta06 version code, and want to know if there is any compset that satisfies the requirements of turning on the CAM-Chem and BGC with nudged wind? By looking at the compset website ( CESM2.2.2 Component Sets Definitions ), I only find that the FCfireHIST has the...

    meg_isoprene is an output from clm5 (only), but not cesm?

    Hi, all I run a offline clm5.0, the MEG_isoprene is a default output, but when I changed to run the FHIST case with cesm2.1.3, I can not find MEG_xx in clm2.h0 and cam.h0 files, I would like to ask if the model is coupled, why the MEG_isoprene is disappeared from clm2.h0 files... or I need to...
