The CloudConvFlux collection

The CloudConvFlux collection contains diagnostics for mass fluxes in cloud convection.

Here is a sample definition section for the CH4 collection.

  • If this collection is not already present in the HISTORY.rc file in the GEOS-Chem run directory for your selected simulation, you can copy and paste this into your HISTORY.rc file and edit accordingly.
  • To prevent an individual field from being included in the diagnostic output, place a comment character # in front of the field name.
  • Please see our Legend for History diagnostics page for more information about each of the collection tags.
  CloudConvFlux.template:     '%y4%m2%d2_%h2%n2z.nc4',
  CloudConvFlux.format:       'CFIO',
  CloudConvFlux.frequency:    00000100 000000
  CloudConvFlux.duration:     00000100 000000
  CloudConvFlux.mode:         'time-averaged'
  CloudConvFlux.fields:       'CloudConvFlux_?ADV?           ', 'GIGCchem',

This table describes the diagnostic quantities belonging to the CloudConvFlux collection:

Diagnostic name Description Units Wildcards Simulations Notes Bpch equiv.
CloudConvFlux_<spcname> Mass change due to cloud convection kg/s
  • ?ADV?
  • ?GAS?
  • ?WET?
  • all simulations

The WetLossConv collection

The WetLossConv collection contains diagnostics fluxes of soluble species lost to wet scaveinging in convective updrafts.

Here is a sample definition section for the WetLossConv collection. If this collection is not already present in the HISTORY.rc file in the GEOS-Chem run directory for your selected simulation, you can copy and paste this into your HISTORY.rc file and edit accordingly.

To prevent an individual field from being included in the diagnostic output, place a comment character # in front of the field name.

The WetLossLS collection

The WetLossLS collection contains diagnostics fluxes of soluble species lost to rainout and washout in large-scale wet deposition.

Here is a sample definition section for the WetLossConv collection. If this collection is not already present in the HISTORY.rc file in the GEOS-Chem run directory for your selected simulation, you can copy and paste this into your HISTORY.rc file and edit accordingly.

To prevent an individual field from being included in the diagnostic output, place a comment character # in front of the field name.

  WetLossLS.template:         '%y4%m2%d2_%h2%n2z.nc4',
  WetLossLS.format:           'CFIO',
  WetLossLS.frequency:        010000
