1 year ago @wlin7 could you please have a look and provide feedback when you get a chance? We would like this to be added to all production v3atm branches (NGD_v3atm and the like). I also think it may be easiest to add it into this PR to e3sm https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/pull/5030
add cloud-borne aerosols to 2D burden outputs
xref: https://github.com/E3SM-Project/e3sm_diags/issues/681
This PR adds new diagnostic fields to output the total aerosol 2D burdens (both interstitial and cloud-borne). The cloud-borne aerosol burden is expected to be less than 10% of the total burden. See figure below from a two-month free-running simulation showing that these added new terms (
ABURDEN...) are working as expected vis-a-vis their predecessors (BURDEN...).This came up during the coupled team meeting, internal link: https://acme-climate.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CM/pages/3749576957/2023-04-17+Coupled+Model+-+Meeting+notes.
The issue was discussed in https://github.com/E3SM-Project/e3sm_diags/pull/676 and https://github.com/E3SM-Project/e3sm_diags/issues/681.
