Dear all,
I’m trying to run a WRF-Chem simulation to study the interaction between dust and ozone. My goal is to simulate both dust emissions and ozone chemistry in the same run and analyze their coupling effects.
From previous posts, I’ve seen that it might be possible to activate both by setting, for example:
chem_opt = 202 ! MOZART+MOSAIC (8-bin), or 11 for RADM2 or similar chemical option ???
dust_opt = 1 ! GOCART or another suitable dust scheme ??
aer_op_opt = 1
However, I’m not sure if this combination correctly enables dust–ozone interactions, or if additional configuration (e.g., emissions, boundary conditions, or chemistry settings) is required.
Could someone who has experience with dust and ozone co-simulation in WRF-Chem please guide me on the proper configuration or share an example namelist?
I would also appreciate any advice on how to check whether the model is actually coupling dust and ozone processes during runtime.
Thank you very much for your help.
