Hello,
I looked for any related discussions on converting ICON and BCON files from the CB06 mechanism to CRACMM2, but couldn’t find relevant guidance.
From what I understand, setting ICON and BCON to use the default profiles (even just to generate a skeleton that could later be populated with values from another model ) does not consider the CRACMM2 mechanism. Is that why the map2chem
directories exist in both the ICON and BCON folders?
I attempted to run the conversion scripts, but they appear to require variables like RH, P, and TA, referenced in SpecDef_cracmm1_aq_derived_from_cb6r5m_ae7_aq.txt
. However, I don’t believe ICON or BCON provide these fields.
Any instructions or recommendations for preparing and running CMAQ 5.5 with CRACMM2 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
