aqmbc User’s Guide
aqmbc is a python tool to make boundary conditions for CMAQ.
The key value of aqmbc is to provide a single interface to multiple models. This makes maintaining a system easy to acheive and hopefully easy to use.
Currently, aqmbc supports:
GEOS-Chem v12 and v14
CMAQ (Hemispheric or Regional)
NASA GMAO’s GEOS-CF
RAQMS
To do:
aqmbc would like to support WACCM, AM4, and CAMS
A future version will allow for explicit output of CAMx readable boundary conditions. For now, use the cmaq2camx tools to convert these files.
