    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...

    How to calculate so4_a1 and so4_a2?

    I want to replace the default SO2 emission with my own SO2 emissions in F2000climo. The sulfate emis = SO2_emis * 0.025. What are the proportions of so4_a1 and so4_a2 in the total sulfate emissions, respectively? I really need the help.

    Questions about tutorial of CAM.

    Hi, In the chapter 9.5 of CAM tutorial says: Removing species from modes requires us to create new mode definitions. Using black carbon as a specific example, we see from the default definitions of the trop_mam4 modes that black carbon is contained in mam4_mode1 and mam4_mode4.The best way to...
