    Help cam variables namelist - aerosols

    I have the following questions: I found the list of atmospheric variables in the case I ran in the atm_in file, but I don't know where to look up the specific meaning of these variables, such as: bc_a1, bc_a4. This is the original atm_in file: aer_drydep_list = 'bc_a1', 'bc_a4', 'dst_a1'...

    num_a4 unit

    I have a question regarding the actual unit of the num_a4 parameter. From what I’ve observed, num_a4 typically has a unit of (particles/cm²/s) × (molecules/mole) × (g/kg). However, when I looked into the source code used to generate BC emissions—such as the script at...

    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!

    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...
