Hello,
I'm using WRFchem v4.5.2 to make regional simulations of O3. I am using the RADM2SORG_KPP chemical option (106) and I aim to include also new species in the analysis. I am at the stage where I have been able to activate the diagnostic following these threads:
a) How to output deposition velocity for chemicals
b) output_diagnostics and nwp_diagnostics vars empty
In the first instance I had the variables correctly created in the history outputs (and then following b) also in the separated diagnostic file) all 0. I went into the code (dry_dep_driver.F) and I realised that there wasn't an explicit option to calculate the dvel_* and ddmass_* variables for the particular mechanism I'm using. Therefore I made some tweaks to that file in order to include the creation of dvel_ and ddmass_ for a few variables also for the RADM2SORG_KPP mechanism and recompiled. Currently, I have the diagnostic outputs for both dvel_ and ddmass_ for all the variables and with numbers instead of 0.
My question at this point: Is there any motivation to exclude RADM2SORG_KPP from having these diagnostics? It looks strange to me that the option is created for a number of mechanisms but not for this one. I don't want to go ahead with the work and then realise I should have used another mechanism.
I'm attaching a copy of my "namelist.input", "registry.chem" and the "dry_dep_driver.F" file.
Many thanks in advance for the help.
Andrea
