TYPE: enhancement

KEYWORDS: Greenhouse Gas, CMIPs

SOURCE: Trude Eidhammer, NCAR

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: There is now a namelist option for RRTMG where the user can choose to read in projected greenhouse gas mixing ratio for several different CMIP scenarios. The files are located in icar_supporting_files/rrtmg_support and labeled as CAMtr_volume_mixing_ratio.xxx

In the run directory, the user should create a link CAMtr_volume_mixing_ratio that links to the desired CAMtr_volume_mixing_ratio.xxx file.

To run this new capability, the user need to set the namelist parameter run_ghg = .true.

TESTS CONDUCTED: Compiled and run
