    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...

    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...

    How to convert the units of the variables(so4_a1,bc_a1)?

    I am currently conducting sensitivity experiments using CESM, but I have encountered some issues. Could you please explain the meaning of the unit "kg/kg" for the aerosol concentration variables such as so4_a1 and so4_a2 in the model outputs? Additionally, how can these values be converted into...

    Radiation effects of dust aerosol

    Hi! I am currently using the FHIST compset of CESM2.1.3 for simulation, with a planned simulation period from 2000 to 2014. I have set up two sets of tests: (1) one set of tests defaults to turning on dust emission; (2) Another set of tests turned off dust emission by setting the soil_erod_file...

    Black Carbon concentration in CAM6

    I am new to CESM, when I run the CESM2.1.3 and the output of black carbon is confusing for me. There are bc_a1 and bc_a4, also bc_c1, so what the meaning of them? If I want to calculate the bc concentration, is the sum of bc_a1 and bc_a4? The units of bc_a1 is kg/kg, so how to convert it to...
