Figure 6.12. Rawbio input and output files

Rawbio input and output files

Figure 6.12, “Rawbio input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Rawbio program. If not using gridded land use, Rawbio reads county land use from the BCUSE file. The summer or winter emission factors are provided in the BFAC file. County land use requires gridding surrogates from the BGPRO file; otherwise, gridded land use can be input as the BGUSE file. Rawbio also requires the grid description file (GRIDDESC).

Rawbio outputs a gridded, normalized biogenic emissions file BGRD. Note that the default SMOKE scripts run Rawbio twice to create both summer and winter BGRD files. Like other SMOKE programs, Rawbio output a program log file, LOGFILE.
