CAMP is software for solving multi-phase chemistry in atmospheric models. For a overview of what CAMP can do, check out part 0 of the CAMP tutorial. A description of the CAMP model elements and how to use them follows.

CAMP Input Classes

Usage

CAMP uses json input files to load chemical species, mechanisms, aerosol phases, aerosol representations, and sub-models at runtime. How to use CAMP in a new or existing model is described in the Boot CAMP tutorial.

Compiling

You will need to have c and Fortran compilers along with CMake to build the CAMP library. In addition, CAMP has the following dependencies:

Library	Version	Source
SUNDIALS	custom	camp/cvode-3.4-alpha.tar.gz
SuiteSparse	5.1.0	http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/davis/SuiteSparse/SuiteSparse-5.1.0.tar.gz
GSL		https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/
json-fortran	6.1.0	https://github.com/jacobwilliams/json-fortran/archive/6.1.0.tar.gz

The SUNDIALS library must be built with the ENABLE_KLU flag set to ON and the KLU library and include paths set according to the SuiteSparse installation.

To install CAMP locally, from the camp/ folder:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install

You can also check out ./Dockerfile (or ./Dockerfile.mpi for MPI applications) to see how CAMP is built for automated testing.

Input files

CAMP uses two types of input files:

File List A json file containing a list of CAMP configuration file names.
Configuration File One or more json files containing all the CAMP configuration data.

To initialize CAMP , the path to the file list must be passed to the camp_camp_core::camp_core_t constructor. The method by which this is done depends on the host model configuration.
