Diagnostic radiative forcing of ozone in CAM5

Hi! everyone,
I am trying to compute the radiative forcing of ozone via the diagnostics radiation calculation using rad_diag_1 in the namelist. The model I use is CAM5 (CESM1-2-1). I added the following codes to namelist:

&rad_cnst_nl
rad_diag_1 = 'A:Q:H2O', 'N:O2:O2', 'N:CO2:CO2',
'N:N2O:N2O', 'N:CH4:CH4',
'N:CFC11:CFC11', 'N:CFC12:CFC12', 'M:mam3_mode1:/g7/zhaoping/cesm-inputdata/atm/cam/physprops/mam3_mode1_rrtmg_c110318.nc',
'M:mam3_mode2:/g7/zhaoping/cesm-inputdata/atm/cam/physprops/mam3_mode2_rrtmg_c110318.nc', 'M:mam3_mode3:/g7/zhaoping/cesm-inputdata/atm/cam/physprops/mam3_mode3_rrtmg_c110318.nc'
/
But error appeared shortly after the simulation started to run. Tail of atm.log:
bulk_props_init: finished for SULFATE

rad_cnst_init: checking for radiative constituents

Is it unavailable to obtain the radiative forcing of individual gas species such as ozone by using rad_diag_1 in CAM5? Does anyone know an alternative way to retrieve the ozone radiative forcing.
Thank you!
