1Simulation with double call to radiation for stratospheric (mostly volcanic) aerosols,
2in order to calculate IRFs, with respect to "clean" case.
3
4This option became available in the 6.1.11 version of IPSL-CM6.
5
6To activate the IRF calculation :
7   use flag ok_volcan in PARAM/config.def_* (here the _preind is used) :
8        # Flag to yield double call with/without natural forcing (instead of with/without anthropic)
9        ok_volcan=y
10
11To activate the corresponding IRF output :
12  See COMP/lmdz.card :
13     Note the use of PARAM/*.xml_2RadCall files
14       Key elements :
15         in field*lmdz* : groups "fields_irf_aer_standard" and "fields_irf_aer_CMIPstyle";
16         in file*lmdz* : only the group "CMIPstyle" is activated,
17            and it only contains the 8 "aerosol-radiation interaction" variables.
18           No aerosol-cloud interaction (4 variables), because stratosphere is very dry, no (very few) clouds.
19
20      Also note in lmdz.card the post-processing (TS_MO) for the 8 aerosol IRF variables
21       (with CMIPstyle irf* names instead of the native "tospswad, topswai
")
22
23    The 6.1.11 version of PARAM/ping_LMDZ.xml file includes new "volcanic" variables, only needed for VolMIP.
