Output CO2 or aerosol concentrations & optical depth

Good afternoon

I'm using OpenIFS 43r3v2 and I'd like to be able to output concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols. It would also be great to output aerosol optical depth for a few spectral bands.

I went into yomxios.F90 and added "aod550" (GRIB code 210207, https://codes.ecmwf.int/grib/param-db/?id=210207) and added this to my field_def and file_def xml files for XIOS. I got a field "aod550" in my output files, but its filled with zeros everywhere, so I'm guessing this is not actually the optical depth in the model.

Which GRIB codes and field names would be the ones containing the aerosol and GHG concentrations etc?
Is there a way to add these fields to output for XIOS?

Many thanks
Joakim
