Hello everyone,

I'm going to use WRF-Chem V3.8 based on CBMZ-MOSAIC chem option. According to WRF-Chem user guide, there are a couple of chem_opt that use CBMZ-MOSAIC. Let's just stick with 8 bins options:
"8: CBMZ chemical mechanism (chem_opt=6) and MOSAIC using 8 sectional aerosol bins
10: CBMZ chemical mechanism (chem_opt=6) and MOSAIC using 8 sectional aerosol bins including some aqueous reactions
33: CBMZ chemical mechanism (chem_opt=6) and MOSAIC using 8 sectional aerosol bin with dms
34: CBMZ chemical mechanism with (chem_opt=6) and MOSAIC using 8 sectional aerosol bins with dms. Some aqueous reactions included
170: CBMZ Chemistry with MOSAIC aerosols using KPP library"


I want to know which of these options includes SOA formation?
Also, the other question I have is that does chem_opt 170 includes dms and aqueous reactions or not?

Thank you, in advance, for your help.


Best,
Soroush
