The ADF is an automated diagnostic package aimed to be used to evaluate and benchmark simulations from CESM. Here, we describe diagnostics associated with atmospheric chemistry.

The ADF package can be downloaded at https://github.com/NCAR/ADF

Detailed instructions on how to use it can be found here: https://github.com/NCAR/ADF/wiki

Our current atmospheric chemistry diagnostic development plans/wishlist (view on GitHub: https://github.com/NCAR/ADF/issues/237) are:
