noresm:aerosolbudgetsnoresm2

This is an old revision of the document!


In both the default CAM5-aerosol packages (MAM3,MAM7) and the Oslo-aerosol packages, the budget terms can be taken out using a variable in the namelist :

&phys_ctl_nl
history_aerosol = .true.
/

This will produce the following terms in the monthly output files:

Output variable name Meaning Comment
SF{Tracer} Emissions from surface
GS_{Tracer} gas phase chemistry 3D-emissions and gas phase washout included in this term
AQ_{Tracer} aquous chemistry
{Tracer}_Mixnuc1 Activation in clouds and evaporation of cloud droplets
{Tracer}_DDF Dry deposition flux (aerosol tracers)
{Tracer}_SFWET Wet deposition flux (aerosol tracers)
{Tracer}_condtend loss/production in condensation/nuclation (CAM-Oslo only)
{Tracer}_coagTend loss/production in coagulation (CAM-Oslo only)
DF_{Tracer} dry deposition flux (gas tracers) output with history_aerosol with CAM-Oslo only
WD_A_{Tracer} wet deposititon flux (gas tracers) output with history_aerosol with CAM-Oslo only
Tracer_{CLXF} 3D-emissions (“external forcing”) output with history_aerosol with CAM-Oslo only

Note: Since 3D-emissions and and gas washout rates are included in the term GS_{Tracer}, the individual terms can be found like this (example for SO2:

ncap2 -O -s GS_ONLY_SO2=GS_SO2-WD_A_SO2-SO2_CLXF infile.nc outfile.nc
