[RegCNET] Aerosol-Data required

[Dilip Ganguly]

Hi Ashraf,
Thanks for your reply. I wish you to update the aerosol data as early as 
possible so that it may be used by the community.

However, even if the aerosol data is not corrected due to conversion 
factor, I am getting all the aerosol related parameters such as aext8, 
assa8, trac1, trac2, .... to be exactly the same at all atmospheric 
levels. There is absolutely no difference in their magnitudes at different 
heights (sigma pressure levels). This problem is not due to incorrect in 
aerosol data. This is happening even after correcting the bug in aermix.f

As I have understood, there is a problem with the anthropogenic BC/OC data 
which might have been largely underestimated. So, I have run the model 
with DUST alone. Even in this case, aerosol parameters do not show any 
variation with height.

Does anyone have any idea why is it happening like this? 

Thanks.

Dilip.
