Include CFCs in RRTMGP #3997

Open PeterCaldwell opened 3 years ago

PeterCaldwell commented 3 years ago

RRTMGP doesn't handle CFC-11 and CFC-12 because data for them were not available when @brhillman started working with RRTMGP. They are available now so we should update the RRTMGP radiation interface to include them.

We noticed this issue in SCREAM but it affects the whole project so should be fixed upstream in the E3SM repo.

@PeterCaldwell , the interactive stratospheric chemistry package Linoz v3 solves important greenhouse gases (GHGs), CH4, N2O, and NOy besides O3. We completed coding the Linoz v3 in E3SM and are testing it now. When it's done, we will be able to generate these GHGs data for SCREAM with the low-res E3SM in a more consistent way than relying on other models or data sources. Just note this option here in case you are interested.
