    299299When flag_aerosol > 0 you must provide aerosol files to the model. In any case, the file '''aerosols.nat.nc''' is needed. Another flag '''aer_type''' determines which aerosols are taken into account. If `aer_type` is set to  "preind" preindustrial aerosols are used and only the file aerosols.nat.nc must be provided to the model. If the flag is set to  "actuel" present-day aerosols are used with the aerosols1980.nc file. If the flag is set to  "scenario" the aerosols follow a scenario with files such as aerosolsXXXX.nc with a 10-year resolution. Finally, if the flag is set to "annuel" the aerosols are taken for a specific year and the input file is aerosolsXXXX.nc where XXX is the year in the run.

    301 In case flag_aerosol > 0 both flags '''ok_ade''' and '''ok_aie''' (set to y or n) control the activation of direct and indirect (respectively) aerosol effects. In case an effect is deactivated natural aerosols are used for this effect. The flags ok_ade and ok_aie are independant from each other. However flag_aerosol must be > 0 as soon as one of the two flags ok_ade and ok_aie is activated. This also activates the radiative forcing diagnostics (topswad and topswai variables). In case ok_aie is activated you must choose the explicit computation of the cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) with the flag '''ok_cdnc=y'''. In the opposite case you can choose ok_cdnc=y (CDNC is computed explicitly from an empirical relationship which depends on aerosols) or ok_cdnc=n (an effective radius is then directly prescribed).

    303303bl95_b0=1.7 and bl95_b1=0.2 are the parameters of the relationship between aerosol mass and CDNC according to the Boucher and Lohmann (1995) parametrization.
