DMSCHLO

Barron Henderson, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Type of update: New Pre-Processing Tool
Release Version/Date: CMAQv5.4
Description: Depending on the chemical mechanism selected, the traditional "Ocean" file maybe required to contain temporal "DMS" and chlorophyll-a (CHLO) concentrations for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and halogen chemistry, respectively. To create these fields for input, a new Python tool called "DMSCHLO" is released to augment standard CMAQ "Ocean" files with this data.
Significance and Impact: No impact on core model results. The significance of this tool is to provide an easy to use tool in which to augment the standard "Ocean" file for use with CCTM.
