About chem to palm

[Solaydh]

Dear Prof Lin,

I‘m sorry to bother you with a few questions:

  (1) Dealing with initial conditions of chemistry through adding variables in this scripts can be used as a simple method?  Just like : "for varbc in ["QVAPOR","pt"]"  ----> "for varbc in ["QVAPOR","pt","PM10", "NOx" ,"SO4".......]"

  (2) Unlike the variable of (u,v,w,pt,qvapor) , the boundary conditions of chem-variables are not given in the list from "https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/wiki/doc/app/iofiles/pids/dynamic", and there are only the initial conditions (such as init_atmosphere_pm10、no2...... ). 
       Therefore,  the "Is_force_pm10, no2......" should be needed? puzzled......

    Thanks for your time! 

Sincerely,

Hi there,

Sorry, I've been on vacation, and I'm a bit slow catching up with my emails these days.

It seems that your questions are related to the chemistry module in PALM. Unfortunately, these features are not supported in WRF4PALM yet. I have very limited knowledge regarding the chemistry module, so I couldn't help you much here. I will have a look later this month, but for the second question, it might be easier to ask the PALM developers (i.e. open a ticket on the PALM website).

I will mark this issue as "to do" for now.

Thanks, Dongqi

Hi, dear friends, have you successfully done the chemical dynamic driver for palm model? How do you do that, using WRF_Interface in https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/wiki/doc/app/iofiles/wrf_interface or another simple and detailed way to handle the CAMX files for the chemical initial and boundary conditions?

Thank you for your help.

Hi, dear friends, Previous ideas mainly focused on the WRF-chem because we are unskilled for CAMx. Directly, adding variables (source from wrfout) may be recognized as a method with simple modifications, and you can imitate other variables (such as w,pt,qvapor) in Lin' s scripts, just like starting with "o3_wrf = ds_interp.o3[:,0,:,:].load()", imitating "qv2_wrf = ds_interp.Q2.load()" given in scripts.

However, the validation (running and evaluating) was set aside due to other projects, and these were only the initial ideas. Thanks for your further exploring!

Sincerely,
