We recommend upgrading to the latest version of CMAQ v5.5.

Please also search the forum for previous posts about HNO3 dry deposition as they may provide the answer that you need.

> How you approach this depends on what processes you are considering and the CMAQ model options. If you are using the M3Dry deposition option: Constants related to cuticular and soil resistances by deposition species are found in: AS\_DATA\_MOD.F All other surface resistances are estimated in: m3dry.F The aerodynamic and stomatal resistances are passed down from the meteorological model All modifications will require a recompile of the code. Documentation can be found in Pleim and Ran 2011 ([A…](https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos2030271)
