mbl_bsn_fct and mbl_bsn_fct_geo

[weichun_tao@kaust_edu_sa]

Dear Sam,

I found in atm/cam/src/chemistry/bulk_aero/dust_intr.F90 there is a variable "mbl_bsn_fct_geo".

What's the difference between this and "mbl_bsn_fct" in clm/DUSTMod.F90?

Beside, in the inputdata repository, there is a boundary dataset for this variable /atm/cam/dst.

When run CAM, this dataset could be read in by set "soil_erod" filename.

My questions are:

Could this soil_erod (actually the souce erodibility factor) be read to CLM when run CLM offline?
Is there any way to read this without editing any code?
Is this reasonable to read the "dst" dataset for runing CLM?

Million thanks!

Wish you all the best!

Weichun

I'm afraid I don't know about this. You seem to have found that cam applies the erodibility factor after it receives the dust flux from the clm. If this is correct, then you would not be able to read the same erodibility factor in a simulation that did not use cam, unless you modified the codes that run in an "i" case.
