Adding New Diagnostics

If you are using one of the chemistry schemes that uses ASAD (e.g. CheT/TropIsop, CheS/Strat, CheST/StratTrop) then you can make use of the ASAD Reaction Flux Diagnostics module (held in asad_chem_flux_diags.F90). These allow you to straight-forwardly out new reaction and deposition fluxes.

To output new diagnostics you will first need to define them in the asad_flux_dat.F90 module, and then create a new STASHmaster file for them.

Flux Definitions in asad_flux_dat.F90

Within the asad_flux_dat.F90 module the diagnostics are defined in blocks with the format

      asad_flux_defn('Top-level diagnostic type',Stash code,'Second-level diagnostic specification',Tropospheric Mask,Reaction number,Number of species/reactants and products,                       &
      (/'Species/Reactant 1','Reactant 2'/),                                   &
      (/'Product 1','Product 2','Product 3','Product 4'/)),        &
