Bolchem PreProcessin'Project

"variable" files needed for BOLCHEM run

MHF for meteo IC/BC prepared using ECMWF (HOWTO automatic retrieval?) or GFS (automatic retrieval possible, but low res)
CHF for chem IC/BC prepared in various ways (from global or limited (larger scales) models: Mozart, EMEP, ...)
availability? retrieval procedure?
"surface" emissions (EMEP, ENEA)
point source emissions (ENEA)
BOLAM control file (bolam.inp)
chem control file (bc freq, logical point source, solver parameter, ...)
source code for chemical mechanisms
orography and land/sea mask

spatio-temporal domain ( $LaTeX code: \Rightarrow$ meteo/chem data retrieval/preparation for IC/BC)
spatio-temporal resolution
meteo boundary condition frequency
chem boundary condition frequency
chem emission frequency
photochemical mechanism ( $LaTeX code: \Rightarrow$ number of photochemical species)
aerosol model ( $LaTeX code: \Rightarrow$ number of aerosol classes)
other tracers (total numer and physical characteristics: molecular weight, radioactivity, settling velocity, ...)
BOLAM specific control parameters (those that are usually modified)
logical to switch on/off ... options (which one?)
nesting ?
trajectories ?
output format: BOLAM standard (MHF/CHF) || NetCDF
