Hi!For the vertical distribution, you need all the concentration variables for the dust. In this version of the model, the dust is in only _1 and _3 modes (not the aitken mode, which is 2), and you need it in both the aerosol form and the cloud form.fincl1='dst_a1','dst_a3','dst_c1','dst_c3','dst_a3'normally we tend to pull out all the aerosols when we do the dust, to make sure we can analyze also the BC, for example, which can be important for the AOD and SSA in north africa. We also compare to deposition data, so to do that you need all the deposition variables too. The source comes out by default, I think but that is (dst_a1SF and dst_a3SF: no aerosol comes out in the cloud fraction!!! notice that the AOD_dust2 is zero. fincl1 = 'dst_a1','dst_a3','dst_c1','dst_c3','bc_a1','bc_c1','ncl_a1','ncl_c1','ncl_a2','ncl_c2','ncl_a3','ncl_c3','num_a1','num_c1','num_a2','num_c2','num_a3','num_c3','pom_a1','pom_c1','so4_a1','so4_c1','so4_a2','so4_c2','so4_a3','so4_c3','soa_a1','soa_c1','soa_a2','soa_c2','dst_a1DDF','dst_c1DDF','dst_a3DDF','dst_c3DDF','dst_a1SFWET','dst_c1SFWET','dst_a3SFWET','dst_c3SFWET','AEROD_v','AODDUST1','AODDUST2','AODDUST3'
Please see Albani et al., 2014 (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2013MS000279/abstract) to see how to modify the dust parameterization to match available observations (or contact Samuel or myself for the codes, indicating exactly which version), since the default version of the cam5 release code doesn't work very well and has incorrect optics. See Liu et al., 2012 for more description of the Modal aerosols. ThanksNatalie
