Information about SMOKE - 22 September 2006


 The Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emission (SMOKE) model was developed by
 the Environmental Modeling Center at MCNC under cooperative research
 agreements and contracts with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
 (EPA).  Development of SMOKE continues at UNC-CEP and is partially
 supported by CMAS.

 The emissions data used in this release of CMAQ were prepared with SMOKE.

 SMOKE code is open source Fortran90 code, and is consistent with the
 netCDF I/O API convention used by CMAQ.

 A full description of SMOKE, and its capabilities is available at
 http://www.smoke-model.org

 The most recently released version of SMOKE (version 2.2) may be
 downloaded from http://www.smoke-model.org

 A user manual, including file formats, a separate test case and other
 relevant links are available on the SMOKE page.  Click on "Download SMOKE"
 to access the SMOKE code and specific installation instructions for your
 system.

 Additional inventory documentation and SMOKE datasets developed for the
