run CAM6 without aerosols

Greetings to everyone,

I am trying to run an initial case with CESM2.2/CAM6 but without aerosols.
Looking at the CAM6 documentation (Section 8.4) and in a previous post in this forum there are some indication how to do that by adding the following to user_nl_cam:

rad_diag_1 =
'A:Q:H2O', 'N:O2:O2', 'N:CO2:CO2', 'N:ozone:O3',
'N:N2O:N2O', 'N:CH4:CH4', 'N:CFC11:CFC11', 'N:CFC12:CFC12',

I followed that and when I start the case I got an error:

Exception from case_run: ERROR: RUN FAIL: Command 'mpirun ~/CESM2.2/cime/output/No-aerosols-CAM6/bld/cesm.exe >> cesm.log.$LID 2>&1 ' failed

Then looking at the details in cesm.log file the specific error is:

ERROR: list_init2 ERROR: cannot find physics buffer field ozone

Anybody have tried same case and had same problem?
Any suggestions to avoid/solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

FYI I found that if you want to run CAM6 without aerosols, but only for the radiative transfer module, in CESM2.2(CAM6) you need to do this:

Code:
rad_diag_1 =
'A:Q:H2O', 'N:O2:O2', 'N:CO2:CO2', 'N:O3:O3',
'N:N2O:N2O', 'N:CH4:CH4', 'N:CFC11:CFC11', 'N:CFC12:CFC12'

In you user_nl_cam file.
I hope it helps somebody.
