 SALSA is enabled by adding the NAMELIST {{{salsa_parameters}}} with appropriate parameters to the INPUT parameter file ({{{<run_identifier>_p3d}}}).
 
-SALSA can be run with horizontal boundary conditions that differ from the remaining PALM code. See the respective boundary condition parameters like [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_n bc_aer_n]. For example, it is possible to:
-* Use non-cyclic boundary conditions for the SALSA variables, while cyclic conditions are used for all other variables
-* Disable self-nesting for SALSA variables and run SALSA e.g., only within a child domain (see [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#nesting_salsa nesting_salsa])
-* Disable offline nesting for SALSA variables (see [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#nesting_offline_salsa nesting_offline_salsa])

+SALSA can be run with horizontal boundary conditions that differ from the remaining PALM code. For example, it is possible to:
+
+* Use non-cyclic boundary conditions for the SALSA variables, while cyclic conditions are used for all other variables. If there are aerosol sources/sinks in the simulation domain, using cyclic conditions for the SALSA variables would lead to accumulation and a constant increase/decrease of concentrations in the domain.
+* Disable self-nesting for SALSA variables and run SALSA e.g., only within a child domain (see [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#nesting_salsa nesting_salsa]).
+* Disable offline nesting for SALSA variables (see [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#nesting_offline_salsa nesting_offline_salsa]).
+
+All the scanerios above require setting the respective boundary condition parameters [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_n bc_aer_n], [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_s bc_aer_s], [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_l bc_aer_l],[wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_r bc_aer_r], [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_b bc_aer_b] and [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#bc_aer_t bc_aer_t].
