    7 In SALSA, the aerosol size distribution is represented as a discrete set of size bins (by default 10 bins). The number n,,i,, (m^-3^) and mass concentration m,,c,i,, (kg m^-3^) of each size bin i and chemical component c are the model prognostic variables. Currently, the following chemical components can be included: sulphuric acid (H2SO4), organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC), nitric acid (HNO3), ammonium (NH3), sea salt, dust and water (H2O). Furthermore, the gaseous concentrations of H2SO4, HNO3, NH3 and semi- and non-volatile organics (OCNV and OCSV) are also default prognostic variables.

    89The aerosol dynamic processes included are
    910 * coagulation,
     
    1314 * nucleation and dry deposition on horizontal and vertical surfaces and resolved vegetation.

    15 SALSA can be coupled with the [/wiki/doc/app/chempar#chemistrymodule "chemistry module"]. In that case, the five gaseous compounds (H2SO4, HNO3, NH3, OCNV and OCSV) will be imported to SALSA from the chemistry module and should thus be included in the chemical mechanism applied ([https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/browser/palm/trunk/UTIL/chemistry/gasphase_preproc/mechanisms/def_salsa%2Bsimple "Example"] ).

    1718SALSA is enabled by adding the NAMELIST {{{salsa_parameters}}} with appropriate parameters to the INPUT parameter file ({{{<run_identifier>_p3d}}}).
