Chemical boundary and initial conditions from CAM Chem to WRF Chem - adelgadop/SOPRO GitHub Wiki

  1. Download CAM-Chem data from https://www.acom.ucar.edu/cam-chem/cam-chem.shtml
  2. Download MOZBC program from https://www.acom.ucar.edu/wrf-chem/download.shtml
  3. Install MOZBC in the Linux server. Consider suggestions to avoid errors with netCDF when compiling WRF-Chem tools
  4. Create mozcart_camchem.inp (credits: thank you, Noelia) to map species' emission from CAM-Chem:

  1. Ensure that met_em files are in the WRF-Chem path when you run the model.
  2. Finally, in the Linux terminal, write ./mozbc < mozcart_camchem.inp changing the mozcart_camchem.inp if you have two or more domains:
do_bc   = .true.
do_ic   = .true.
domain  = 1

do_bc   = .false.
do_ic   = .true.
domain  = 2

That's all folks!
