Tg/yr NO from Lightning, calculated from molecules / cm3 / year

I'm having trouble calculating the total TgNO per year from Lightning sources. I didn't output the variables in the h0 output, so the typical diagnostic package didn't calculate it. I'm trying to process all of the data on my own, but am having a heck of a time. Is there some code or module somewhere that does this already? Or does someone have some tips to get at this calculation?So far, I've:1. Averaged the daily NO_Lightning to monthly2. Retreived the T, PS, hyai, hybi, from the h0 files to calculate delta_pressure (using the ncl tool dpres_hybrid_ccm)3. Am trying to write some code that processes it all together. It may be that I'm just failing to get it right here.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
