Dear User, Total deposition = dry deposition + wet deposition: BCDP001 + BCDP002 + BCWT001 + BCWT002 Total loss additionally includes sedimentation and convective scavenging: BCDP001 + BCDP002 + BCSD001 + BCSD002 + BCWT001 + BCWT002 + BCSV001 + BCSV002 For the physical processes, consult the GMAO Su...

Dear User, Total deposition consists of dry and wet deposition: Dry deposition: BCDP001 + BCDP002 Wet deposition: BCWT001 + BCWT002 Total loss includes these terms plus BCSD001 + BCSD002 + BCSV001 + BCSV002: BCDP001 + BCDP002 + BCSD001 + BCSD002 + BCWT001 + BCWT002 + BCSV001 + BCSV002 Regards, GES D...

Dear user,

Thank you for your patience on this matter.

We have corrected and re-published the problematic metadata fields, which should allow your query to work as normal. Please try again, and let us know if you need any other assistance.

Dear user,

The previous equation sent should be considered as the total loss of the aerosols from the atmosphere to the surface. In the real world, there could be a loss in aerosol due to chemical processes however that isn't accounted for in the model.

Dear User,

Here is a response from the GMAO team:

Total loss = BCDP001 + BCDP002 + BCSD001 + BCSD002 + BCWT001 + BCWT002 + BCSV001 + BCSV002.

Nothing is double counted by using all of the terms in this equation for the total loss.

Dear User, Thank you for contacting us. Here are some answers from the GMAO team: Bin 1 of carbon is hydrophobic, bin 2 is hydrophilic BCWT001 is expected to be zero because wet deposition does not act on hydrophobic particles For completeness, I always like to include BCWT001 when I write out the e...

Hello, To compute the total loss, you would need to add dry deposition, wet deposition, and sedimentation as suggested but also convective scavenging (BCSV001 and BCSV002). There is no double counting going on. Sedimentation and dry deposition occur as two separate processes within GOCART. Thank you...

Hello Carl, Thank you for reporting this. We were able to verify that the granules do exist, but for some reason, certain granules have a sub-global bounding box limit in their CMR records. In October 2024, they have a bounding box limit over North America ([21.1546, -131.6533, 53.03837, -58.79196])...
