OVERVIEW

Code to initialize/allocate aerosol climatology

This code initializes prescribed aerosol climatology from input file, allocates necessary memory space and interpolate the aerosol climatology to the model specification. Afterwards the memory space is deallocated, the aerosol climatology information is freed.

OTHER MODULES USED

  time_manager_mod
  diag_manager_mod
 field_manager_mod
tracer_manager_mod
           fms_mod
  interpolator_mod
        mpp_io_mod
     constants_mod
 rad_utilities_mod

PUBLIC INTERFACE

aerosol_init:
Subroutine to initialize/interpolate prescribed aerosol climatology
aerosol_driver:
Interpolate aerosol verical profile based on prescribed aerosol climatology input and model set up.
aerosol_end:
aerosol_end is the destructor for aerosol_mod.
aerosol_dealloc:
aerosol_dealloc deallocates the array components of an aersol_type derived type variable.
obtain_input_file_data:
obtain_input_file_data reads an input file containing a single column aerosol profile.

PUBLIC DATA

None.
