    77The aerosol module SALSA ([wiki:doc/app/salsaref/ Kokkola et al., 2008]) embedded in PALM ([wiki:doc/app/salsaref/ Kurppa et al., 2019]) can be used to simulate the aerosol particle concentrations, size distributions and chemical compositions. In SALSA, the aerosol size distribution is represented as a discrete set of size bins (by default 10 bins).

    21 SALSA can be run with horizontal boundary conditions that differ from the remaining PALM code. For example, it is possible to:
     21By default, SALSA inherits its boundary conditions from PALM. Additionally, SALSA can be run with horizontal boundary conditions that differ from the remaining PALM code. For example, it is possible to:

    2323* 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.
     
    2525* Disable offline nesting for SALSA variables (see [wiki:doc/app/salsa_parameters#nesting_offline_salsa nesting_offline_salsa]).

    27 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].
