CMAQ can use boundary conditions derived from global chemistry models (GCMs) like MOZART. I use mozart2camx to process mozart output and get CMAQ v5.3 IC, BC. However, CMAQ complains 1) IC is not time-dependent, and 2) BC has wrong time stamp. It is easy to fix the first issue by updating IC netcdf…

Christian Hogrefe, I fixed the problem by re-downloading the code file. Now it works now. Thank you very much.

Time Stamp Issue to use MOZART output as CMAQ5.3 ICBC

Maybe a question I posed elsewhere in the forum would also be relevant here:
