Problem using FINN and WRF-Chem - MOZART/MOSAIC 4BIN

Hi everyone,

I have been working with WRF-Chem for quite some time now, but only recently started using it to simulate transport and transformation of Biomass Burning emissions, and would like to ask you a question.

Our set-up is MOZART-MOSAIC 4BIN. We are including BB emissions from the FINN emission inventory. However, it seems that the MOZART-MOSAIC options are not setup to work with the online plumerise. Only gas phase BB emissions are being mapped to the chemistry after the plume rise calculation.

- The question is.... is there an "easy" way to include also the primary OC and EC from BB into the MOSAIC scheme?

Or alternatively...

- What would be a good Gas-phase chemistry + aerosol scheme to simulate BB emissions including primary BB aerosol emissions?

Best regards,
Karen Ballesteros
