No

Describe your problem or question:
Hi all,

I am running FCnudged and interested in black carbon radiative forcing.

In the user guideline, 8. Physics modifications via the namelist — camdoc documentation, there are instructions for mam4_mode1_noBC and mam4_mode4_noBC.

I see the note: "The current version of the modal aerosol code does not support doing diagnostic radiation calculations with aerosol modes when the model is run with modal_strat_sulfate set to true. This option is not used withcam6 physics, but it is used with WACCM."

Does this mean I should not calculate the BC direct radiative effect using FCnudged with cam6 physics? Does it support now?

Look forward to any comments. Thank you.

Best,
Yuan
