Dear @yantosca

I hope this message finds you well. I am working on optimizing the calculation of sea salt, which currently includes SALC and SALA. I am trying to add two additional modes and, in the future, aim to compute sea salt more precisely. In the figures below, SALA2 and SALC2 are the two modes I am trying to add. However, I have encountered some challenges. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to resolve them.

Attached are the files I have modified. I would appreciate it if you could take a look. Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Dear @yantosca ,

In GEOS-Chem, sea salt includes two modes, SALA and SALC. I am trying to update it to four modes. Following your advice, I have updated the HEMCO_Diagn.rc file, but I still cannot resolve the issue. This issue is quite challenging for me; how should I handle it?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Baihua Chen

@ChenBHXMU: I see the issue. You would need to add SALA2 and SALC2 to the code in https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/blob/main/Headers/aermass_container_mod.F90. Wherever you see SALA and SALC in the module, you can add the similar modifications for SALA2 and SALC2.

As a rule, we expect GEOS-Chem users to be resourceful and to be somewhat familiar with programming concepts. We can provide guidance and advice but cannot write code for users.

Dear @yantosca Thanks a million for your time. I will delve deeper into these codes.
