Add Alumina Aerosol Emission

Hello there!

I am a new user to WACCM/CAM and I am interested in adding alumina emissions at altitude. However, I am confused how to specify the particle distribution size for my emissions. I am also curious to learn how to add optical properties such that WACCM computes the radiative forcing effects of alumina.

It seems like black carbon emissions are specified in two files, one with the emission amount and the other with the particle distribution. I do not understand how the model reconciles these two files, and if I should replicate this file structure.

Thank you for the help!

Best,

Asha
