Remove aerosol completly..

This part of the emissions files are in calculating radiation.
In CAM user guide, if I want to remove aerosol completely, I only need to remove mode_refs bc file and it doesn't refer to the ex_frc_specifier files. In this case, ex_frc_specifier files are still in calculating radiation?

If you just want to get the radiation changes which will get a new set of variables such as "FLNS_d1". Then you only need to modify "mode_refs". Otherwise, you need to modify the aerosol emissions to get the whole effect.

Please fogive me for asking so much! However, I don't find there are other files such as dust file except bc file in ext_frc_specifier. So, how could I modify there aerosol emissions to get the whole effect? I also want to know that should I set the variable modal_strat_sulfate to true or false. Thanks for your reply!

Hi,
Not sure whether this is the right place. But putting my question here because I encountered something explained in #4.

I am using CESM1.2.2 with CAM4.


I started two branch cases from a SOM base case E1850.
1. With a LW forcing applied through an aerosol only in the Artic region.
2. With a LW forcing applied through the same aerosol but globally.

I have the output at every timestep (30min). Flux values are present at every alternate time step.

Interestingly, at the first time step, FLNT for both (1) and (2) are same at each and every grid point. While FSNT is varying.

In reply #4 the example given for CAM3 is 'for example they were only implemented in the shortwave part of the code'.

Does anyone have an idea of why this might be happening in my experiments?
