AEROEMISS – Aerosol emssions

AEROEMISS creates aerosol emissions for CCAM.  Prognostic aerosols can influence the CCAM simulation through direct effects on the simulated radiation, as well as indirect effects with the cloud microphysics.  The command line argument for AEROEMISS is shown below:

aeroemiss -o output.nc < aero.nml

where output.nc is the output.nc aerosol emission file on the cubic grid.  aero.nml is the AEROEMISS namelist with variables described below.
