Remove dust_a1 radiative effects

Hi,

I am currently trying to remove the radiative effects of dust_a1 in CESM2.1.5 but am running into issues and do not know the rrtmg code so well. I have seen other similar issues on the forum such as here and here but they were either not answered or I could not apply the proposed solutions.

I am aware of the possibility to define a new radiation call using "rad_diag_1" where dust_a1 is removed from the radiation by creating a new mode without it. However, I cannot use this because I need to remove it completely. I tried a similar approach but changing "rad_climate" instead of "rad_diag_1". However, I get the following error: ERROR: init_modes ERROR: cannot find physics buffer field dst_c1.

Another option would be to change the physical properties of dust, but I don't know which ones to change exactly.

I guess that I am not the first one to try something similar and was therefore wondering if anyone could help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance for the time and the help !

Paul
