Check emissions from new (SO2) emissions file

[zosiast]

Hi, I've made a new SO2 emissions file by copying and editing an existing input file (following this https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/camchem/Emission+Inventories). I've put the emissions on a km altitude grid, in molecules cm-3 s-1. It's worked, but I'd like to check how much is being read in (and check total Tg). Is there a namelist item I can add for input emissions for SO2 or similar?

Thanks,
Zosia

One option is to add
history_aerosol=.true. to the namelist.
This will write out a large number of output fields, however the one you want to look at is SFSO2+SO2_CMXF (Surface emissions + 3D grid emissions.
Note the fields are output as seen from the tendency calculations. If you want to add the fields at the point of reading in the emission files you need to create your own variable.

Thanks - this worked! I also just added SFSO2 and SO2_CMXF to the namelist without having history_aerosol=.true. and I think this worked too
