Hello everyone,
I'm presently using the CAMS global forecast compostion to update the boundary conditions of gaseous species in WRF-Chem using MOZBC utility, and found it to be very useful.
But I also want to update the aerosol species from CAMS. I'm using the GOCART option to simulate dust storm episodes. Is there a mapping to convert the aerosol species from CAMS aerosol module to GOCART aerosol schemes?
Here is the list of aerosol species available from CAMS.
| Param | Short name | Long name |
| 1.210 |
aermr01 |
Sea Salt Aerosol (0.03 - 0.5 um) Mixing Ratio |
| 2.210 |
aermr02 |
Sea Salt Aerosol (0.5 - 5 um) Mixing Ratio |
| 3.210 |
aermr03 |
Sea Salt Aerosol (5 - 20 um) Mixing Ratio |
| 4.210 |
aermr04 |
Dust Aerosol (0.03 - 0.55 um) Mixing Ratio |
| 5.210 |
aermr05 |
Dust Aerosol (0.55 - 0.9 um) Mixing Ratio |
| 6.210 |
aermr06 |
Dust Aerosol (0.9 - 20 um) Mixing Ratio |
| 7.210 |
aermr07 |

Thank you very much,
Best regards,
