Oslo CTM3 Nitrate
Equilibrium calculations with sulfate/sea salt (Myhre et al., 2006), that is, tropospheric chemistry with the applications of sulfate and sea salt. Listed here are the tracers, which are all transported (T=Y), no chemistry is involved (C=N) and all are washed out (WD=Y).
| Nr | Component | T/C | WD | Remarks |
| 61 | NH3 | Y/N | Y | Produced by emissions |
| 62 | NH4fine | Y/N | Y | |
| 63 | NH4coarse | Y/N | Y | |
| 64 | NO3fine | Y/N | Y | |
| 65 | NO3coarse | Y/N | Y | |
| 78 | H2Ofine | Y/N | Y | |
| 79 | H2Ocoarse | Y/N | Y |
Emissions
The nitrate module needs emissions of NH3. As for CTM2, these are
taken from GEIA (Bouwman et al., 1997), where some datsets were scaled
with the number of sunlit hours (Adams et al., 1999).
However, any emission dataset can be used, e.g. Lamarque et al. (2010).
