adding new aerosol types

Hi everyone,

I'm an undergrad student looking to add new aerosol types to CESM for solar geoengineering studies, specifically those that don’t already exist within the model.

I’ve been exploring the files under cam/src/chemistry/modal_aero and I’m considering modifying the MAM to incorporate new species and aerosol characteristics.



Is modifying the MAM a common approach for introducing new aerosol types?

Also, are there any tutorials or documentation that walk through this process?

If anyone has any suggestions, experiences, or alternative methods for adding non-standard aerosols in CESM, I’d appreciate any help!

Many thanks in advance,
Noah
