Dear All,

I am working to investigate aerosols-precipitation interactions utilizing WRF-Chem. I am writing to seek help on following query associated with my research work.

Query: I am running CBMZ chemistry (Zavery et al., 1999) scheme with MOSAIC. I am giving the following options (Also attached the full namelist.input for your perusal). Kindly let me know if I need to give any specific options for the CBMZ or it follows the RADM2 species as it is?

&Chem_opt = 9
emiss_opt = 4
emiss_inpt_opt = 101

Following is the list of emissions species

E_ECI
E_ECJ
E_ORGI
E_ORGJ
E_ALD
E_C2H5OH
E_CH3OH
E_CO
E_CO2
E_ETH
E_HC3
E_HC5
E_HC8
E_NH3
E_NO
E_NO2
E_OL2
E_OLT
E_ORA2
E_SO2
E_TOL
E_XYL
E_HCHO

I have gone through Carter (2015) and I could find the assignment for the CBIV, CB05 and RADM2 but could not find the same for the CBMZ. Please suggest where should I look for mapping of the USEPA SPECIATE profiles (USEPA SPECIATE, V.4.3, 2011, Sarkar et al., 2016) and speciation to CBMZ classes. More specifically,

Thank you so much and regards,
