NAM_SALT

This namelist is used to active explicit sea salt aerosols. It is not necessary to use chemistry to activate sea salt but it is recommended to activate on-line sea salt emissions.

  • LSALT : flag to activate passive salt aerosol.

  • LVARSIG_SLT : flag to activate variable standard deviation for each salt modes.

  • LSEDIMSALT : flag to activate salt sedimentation.

  • NMODE_SLT : number of lognormal salt modes (a maximum of 8 modes is allowed).

  • LRGFIX_SLT : flag to use only 1 moment by salt mode (LRGFIX_SLT=’TRUE’ associated to LVARSIG_SLT=’FALSE)

  • LDEPOS_SLT : flag to activate salt wet deposition

  • LSED2MOM_SLT: flag to activate multimoment sedimentation on sea salts
