CMAQv5.0.2 Sulfur Tracking
Release Date: April 2014
Overview
CMAQv5.0.2 includes an optional diagnostic model configuration that provides detailed information on the modeled sulfur budget. This model version, referred to as the CMAQ-Sulfur Tracking Model (CMAQ-STM), tracks sulfate production from gas- and aqueous-phase chemical reactions, as well as contributions from emissions and initial and boundary conditions. Each tracked species is treated as other modeled species, undergoing transport (advection, diffusion, cloud-mixing) and removal by deposition (both wet and dry).
Build Instructions
The CMAQv5.0.2 STM installation includes a build script for compiling a version of the CCTM instrumented with the Sulfur Tracking Model.
For installing CMAQ-STM, first download, install, and build the base version of the model. Then download the CMAQ STM tar file and untar into the CMAQv5.0.2 home directory:
cd $M3HOME/../ tar xvzf CMAQv5.0.2_STM.Apr2014.tar.gz
Use the bldit.cctm.stm script as you would the base cctm build script.
cd $M3HOME/scripts/cctm_stm ./bldit.cctm.stm |& tee bldit.cctm.stm.log
Note that you will need to have the libraries (I/O API, netCDF, MPI, Stenex, and Pario) and model builder (bldmake) required by the base model to compile this version of the code. See the base model README for instructions on building these components.
Run Instructions
A sample run script is provided in the STM release package under $M3HOME/scripts/cctm_stm.
The CMAQ STM test run uses the same input data as the base CMAQv5.0.2 distribution package. To run the CMAQ STM test case:
- Download the base CMAQv5.0.2 distribution, including the model and input data to obtain/prepare inputs for CMAQ STM.
- Run the ICON and BCON processors from the base model package to create initial and boundary conditions input files for the CMAQ STM test case.
- Point the CMAQ STM run script to the emissions and ICBC data from the base CMAQv5.0.2 distribution
- Execute the CMAQ STM run script the same way that you would run the base model
CMAQ STM Input/Output Data
CMAQ-STM will work with initial conditions, boundary conditions, and emissions files available for use with the standard, non-instrumented CCTM. No additional processing is required to prepare input data for this model version.
The output concentration and deposition files will include additional species beyond the normal species list. These new output species are listed in Table 1 below.
