In the following two sections, we discuss the $SMKDAT directories and the default ancillary files included with SMOKE. These files are all the input files needed by SMOKE except for the actual inventory files. This includes the inventory table (INVTABLE), gridding surrogates (AGPRO and MGPRO), speciation profiles (GSPRO), temporal cross-reference files (ATREF, MTREF, and PTREF), etc. We document as well as we can the sources of this information, and include reasons why users might want to change from the default data files to other files.
Default SMOKE inventory files are included in the “nctox” case. These files include criteria emissions from the 1996 NEI, version 3.11 data files for North Carolina only. They also include 1999 VMT for North Carolina, and draft 1999 toxics NEI version 3 data (from October 2002) for all source categories. These inventory files generally will not be useful to others for modeling purposes, except as example files for the IDA and SMOKE toxics formats; therefore, they are not included in the tables below.
The default “nctox” case includes ancillary files in the data/inventory/nctox/other directory that can be used for other modeling applications. These files are documented in Table 3.1, “Default SMOKE ancillary files associated with inventories”.

| File name | Logical file name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| invtable_nonroad.cb4.120202.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table for nonroad mobile sources for CB4 chemical mechanism. This file has an error in that CHLOROBENZN, METHANOL, MEK, and PHENOL are included as toxics VOC that are to be subtracted from criteria VOC to create NONHAPVOC for the “integrate” case (see Section 2.9.5, “Combine toxics and criteria inventories”). These should actually not be included, and instead should use only the toxics VOC (depending on NHAPEXCLUDE file exclusions) computed in the 1999 NEI by EPA calculation approaches. |
| invtable_nonroad.cb4tx.120202.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table for nonroad mobile sources for CB4, toxics (version 1) chemical mechanism. This file has an error in that CHLOROBENZN, METHANOL, MEK, and PHENOL are included as toxics VOC that are to be subtracted from criteria VOC to create NONHAPVOC for the “integrate” case (see Section 2.9.5, “Combine toxics and criteria inventories”). These should actually not be included, and instead should use only the toxics VOC (depending on NHAPEXCLUDE file exclusions) computed in the 1999 NEI by EPA calculation approaches. Users of this file need to make sure it will apply the particular version of the CB4 toxics chemical mechanism that the users intend to apply. |
| invtable_onroad.cb4.120202.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table for on-road mobile sources for CB4 chemical mechanism. It uses only the toxics VOC (depending on NHAPEXCLUDE file exclusions) computed in the 1999 NEI by EPA calculation approaches (i.e., MOBILE6 runs). |
| invtable_onroad.cb4tx.120202.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table for on-road mobile sources for CB4, toxics (version 1) chemical mechanism. It uses only the toxics VOC (depending on NHAPEXCLUDE file exclusions) computed in the 1999 NEI by EPA calculation approaches (i.e., MOBILE6 runs). Users of this file need to make sure it will apply the particular version of the CB4 toxics chemical mechanism that the users intend to use. |
| invtable_ptnpt.cb4tx1.071003.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table for point and nonpoint sources for the CB4 toxics (version 1) chemical mechanism. Users of this file need to make sure it will apply the particular version of the CB4 toxics chemical mechanism that the users intend to use. |
| invtable.remsad7.071103.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table to use for REMSAD7 for onroad and nonroad mobile sources. It does not use toxics VOC; it keeps mercury and cadmium, but not the other toxics that can be modeled by REMSAD. |
| invtable_ptnpt.remsad7.071003.txt | INVTABLE | Inventory table to use for REMSAD7 for point and non-point sources. It does not use toxics VOC; it keeps mercury and cadmium, but not the other toxics that can be modeled by REMSAD. |
| nhapexclude.1999.txt | NHAPEXCLUDE | Lists the on-road mobile and nonroad mobile SCCs to exclude from the NONHAPVOC calculation. |
| nhapexclude.all.txt | NHAPEXCLUDE | Lists only FIP = 37000 and SCC = 0 so that no sources in North Carolina will be included in the NONHAPVOC calculation. This file is used for nonpoint (stationary area) and point sources in the nctox case so that no sources will be integrated. |
| repconfig.ar.inv.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for nonpoint (stationary area sources), inventory reporting. |
| repconfig.ar.temporal.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for nonpoint (stationary area) sources, temporalized emissions reporting. |
| repconfig.mb.inv.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for on-road mobile sources, inventory reporting. |
| repconfig.mb.temporal.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for on-road mobile sources, temporalized emissions reporting. |
| repconfig.nr.inv.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for nonroad mobile sources, inventory reporting. |
| repconfig.nr.temporal.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for nonroad mobile sources, temporalized emissions reporting. |
| repconfig.pt.elev.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for elevated-source-selection reports. |
| repconfig.pt.inv.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for point sources, inventory reporting. Only the annual/average-day values are included in the reports created from this file (i.e., not the day-specific or hour-specific inventories). |
| repconfig.pt.lfrac.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for layer fraction hourly reports. |
| repconfig.pt.temporal.txt | REPCONFIG | Default report configuration for point sources, temporalized emissions reporting. Resulting reports include the effects of day-specific and hour-specific point sources. |
