-An example set-up for including SALSA to PALM can be found [https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/browser/palm/trunk/TESTS/cases/urban_environment_salsa here]. This test set-up called "urban_environment_salsa" is for a very small urban area and can thus be run on a personal computer. 
+An example set-up for including SALSA to PALM can be found [https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/browser/palm/trunk/TESTS/cases/urban_environment_salsa here]. This test set-up called "urban_environment_salsa" is for a very small urban area and can thus be run on a personal computer. The features of the set-up are following:
 
-The simulation domain is the same as in the test case [https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/browser/palm/trunk/TESTS/cases/urban_environment urban_environment]. This set-up has been extended by enabling SALSA and introducing aerosol and gas emissions above streets and background air pollutant concentrations. In SALSA, the aerosol size distribution is represented with 8 size bins (see [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#nbin nbin]) and the aerosols can contain organic compounds, nitrates and ammonia (see [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#listspec listspec]). The following aerosol dynamic porcesses are included: deposition (on both vegetation and other surfaces), condensation and coagulation. The background concentrations for both aerosols and gaseous compounds are defined within the parameter file (see [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#dpg dpg], [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#sigmag sigmag], [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#n_lognorm n_lognorm] and [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#mass_fracs_a mass_fracs_a] for aerosols and [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#H2SO4_init H2SO4_init], [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#HNO3_init HNO3_init], [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#NH3_init NH3_init], [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#OCNV_init OCNV_init] and [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#OCSV_init OCSV_init] for gases). The concentrations are set constant at the left and right lateral boundaries (see [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#decycle_method decycle_method], [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#decycle_lr decycle_lr] and [wiki:/doc/app/salsapar#decycle_ns decycle_ns]) to avoid accumulation of air pollutants with the cyclic boundary conditions for the flow. The aerosol emissions are read from file {{{urban_environment_salsa_salsa}}}.

+* The background concentrations for both aerosols and gaseous compounds are read from a dynamic driver ([wiki:/doc/app/initialization_parameters#initializing_actions initializing_actions] = 'inifor set_constant_profiles'). If instead one wants to define the background concentrations within the parameter file, one must set [wiki:/doc/app/initialization_parameters#initializing_actions initializing_actions] = 'set_constant_profiles'. See [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#dpg dpg], [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#sigmag sigmag], [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#n_lognorm n_lognorm] and [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#mass_fracs_a mass_fracs_a] for aerosols and [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#H2SO4_init H2SO4_init], [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#HNO3_init HNO3_init], [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#NH3_init NH3_init], [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#OCNV_init OCNV_init] and [wiki:/doc/app/salsa_parameters#OCSV_init OCSV_init] for gases. 
+* The concentrations are set constant at the left and right lateral boundaries (see [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_l bc_aer_l] and [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_r bc_aer_r]) to avoid accumulation of air pollutants to the domain when cyclic boundary conditions are applied for the flow. 
+* Surface emissions are enabled and they are read from a file ([wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#salsa_emission_mode salsa_emission_mode]  = 'read_from_file').

-Furthermore, a dynamic driver {{{urban_environment_salsa_dynamic}}} for initialising the meteorological conditions and background concentrations, as well as setting a time-dependent meteorological forcing, is included. To enable this dynamic input, the following changes are needed in the parameter file:
