Normbeis3 reads gridded land use data and emissions factors and produces gridded normalized biogenic emissions. Normbeis3 is the first program in the SMOKE-BEIS3 model; Rawbio is the corresponding program for SMOKE-BEIS2. The gridded land use includes 230 different land use types. Emissions factors are provided for each land use type. The output gridded domain is the same as the input domain for the land use data. Emission fluxes are normalized to 30 °C, and isoprene and methyl-butenol fluxes are also normalized to a photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) of 1000 µmol/m²s. Normbeis3 also computes normalized emissions for winter months, using a winter factor read in from the emissions factor table. Normbeis3 outputs winter and summer normalized emissions for four species/compounds (ISOP, MONO, OVOC, NO) as well as winter and summer leaf area indices (LAI). The output units for all species/compounds are in grams of carbon per hour.
