Hello Peter
Sulfate is H2SO4 in this case since sulfuric acid gas phase immediately
condense and dissociate.
However, be aware that you only have the gas phase sulfate production
here, it misses aqueous chemistry. In the regcm-core development version
, simple aqueous chemistry used in AERO simulation is also active in
DCCB. Unfortunatly this is not backported to regcm4.6 yet ( but should be )
