Advected constituents name and index

[nuvolet]

Greetings,

I was wondering how could be possible to get the indexes from the advected constituents (transported aerosols tracers) in CAM6 for the aerosols in the MAM4 (Modal Aerosol Module).
Once I get their indexes, is there any way to modify them?.
Thanks in advance

Hi Toni,
Could you provide more details about what you mean regarding index values?

Hi Rebecca,

I have seen that in module named physics_types.F90, there is defined an array (line 88: q ! constituent mixing ratio (kg/kg moist or dry air depending on type) where are located all the advected constituents (aerosols included).
A few lines below looks that there is a function named: cast_get_ind, which can be used to get index of each advected constituent ( a few examples akin lines 300 and below).
My question is how to get those indexes for the aerosols repesented in MAM4?.
I am guessing that by default there some values for those aerosols and from them I would to use them to nudge aerosols from my own source.

Thanks in advanced

Toni
