Mbsetup input and output files

Figure 6.8, “Mbsetup input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Mbsetup program. The input files are the county cross-reference file (MCREF), the inventory file output from Smkinven (MOBL), the ungridding matrix file from Grdmat (MUMAT), the county settings file (MVREF), and the speed cross-reference file (only if USE_SPEED_PROFILES is set to Y).

Mbsetup outputs an ASCII listing of counties using day-average meteorology data (DAILYGROUP), week-average meteorology data (WEEKLYGROUP), month-average meteorology data (MONTHLYGROUP), or episode-average meteorology data (EPISODEGROUP). It also outputs a log file (LOGFILE) and a summary of speeds and road types (SPDSUM).

6.8.3.1. Input Files

File Name Format Description
MCREF ASCII County cross-reference file
MOBL SMOKE map Intermediate inventory file produced by Smkinven
MUMAT I/O API NetCDF Ungridding matrix from Grdmat
MVREF ASCII County settings file
SPDREF (optional) ASCII Speed profiles cross-reference file

6.8.3.2. Input Environment Variables

  • SMK_SOURCE: See description in Section 6.2.3.2, “Input Environment Variables”.

  • USE_SPEED_PROFILES: [default: N]

    Indicates whether hourly speed profiles should be used instead of speed data from the inventory.

    • Y: Use hourly speed data; requires SPDREF cross-reference file

    • N: Use speed data from the mobile inventory

6.8.3.3. Output Files

File Name Format Description
DAILYGROUP (optional) ASCII Listing of counties using day-average meteorology data
EPISODEGROUP (optional) ASCII Listing of counties using episode-average meteorology data
LOGFILE ASCII Log generated from executing Mbsetup
MONTHLYGROUP (optional) ASCII Listing of counties using month-average meteorology data
SPDSUM ASCII Summary of speeds and road types associated with each source
WEEKLYGROUP (optional) ASCII Listing of counties using week-average meteorology data
