This chapter contains format information for all input files used by SMOKE. Chapter 9, SMOKE Intermediate Files and Chapter 10, SMOKE Output Files provide documentation on SMOKE’s intermediate and output file formats.
In this overview section, we first provide a few important notes about file formats (Section 8.1.1, “General notes about file formats”, and then discuss where to put SMOKE input files (Section 8.1.2, “Where to put SMOKE input files”). Section 8.1.3, “SMOKE input file list” summarizes all the input files needed by SMOKE, organized by function. Section 8.1.4, “Input files for SMOKE nctox case” provides a list, organized by SMOKE program, of all the default input files provided with the nctox sample case, which is described in Section 4.2.1, “nctox case”.The remaining sections in this chapter are broken down as follows:
Inventory files used by Smkinven and Rawbio (Section 8.2, “Inventory Files”)
Temporal allocation files used by Temporal (Section 8.3, “Temporal Allocation Files”)
Spatial allocation files used by Grdmat, Rawbio, Normbeis3, and Smkmerge (Section 8.4, “Spatial Allocation Files”)
Chemical speciation files used by Spcmat (Section 8.5, “Chemical speciation”)
Growth and controls files used by Cntlmat (Section 8.6, “Growth and Controls Files”)
Special merging files used by Mrggrid (Section 8.7, “Special Merging Files”)
Meteorology files used by Tmpbio, Tmpbeis3, Premobl, and Laypoint (Section 8.8, “Meteorology Files”)
Source-specific files for biogenics, mobile, and point source processing (Section 8.9, “Source-Specific files”)
Support files used by various programs (Section 8.10, “Other Support Files”)
In the tables used to describe the file format for each file, the “Position” column lists either letters or numbers.
When there are letters in the “Position” column, this indicates that the file must be list-directed, and therefore the fields on each line need to be delimited by a space, comma, or semicolon. If there are fields that have embedded spaces, commas, or semicolons in a list-directed file, these entries must be surrounded by single or double quotation marks to prevent SMOKE from treating those characters as delimiters.
When there are numbers in the “Position” column, this indicates that the file is column-specific, which means that the entry must be placed exactly within the columns listed.
For all cross-reference files (e.g. AGREF, MGREF, GSREF), all of the source-characteristic fields are optional. For example, it is permissible to provide only the SCC for use in matching a profile to a source.
For list-directed files, if there are source characteristic fields that will not be used (such as country/state/county code) that come before the required fields in the file, these must be filled in with a zero or -9. If there are unused fields that come after the required fields in the file, they can be left blank.
For column-specific formats, the optional entries can be left blank or set to -9 when they are not used.
A common difficulty for new users is determining where to put the input files for their case. In SMOKE v2.0 and later, we have reduced the number of places in which you need to keep your raw input files. Section 8.1.4, “Input files for SMOKE nctox case” lists the all of the input directories for the files used in the example “nctox” case. In that section, we also define the path names relative to the EDSS_ROOT directory, which is the directory in which you install SMOKE (and is different for every installation). In Chapter 3, SMOKE Directories and Default Data, we provide diagrams of the SMOKE directory structures, which help in visualizing the tree of directories that SMOKE uses. Additionally, Section 4.5, “How to use SMOKE” contains instructions for getting set up for new runs, including the files that need to be created and where they should go.
In summary, SMOKE input files must go into a handful of directories (see Section 8.1.4, “Input files for SMOKE nctox case”). Multiple directories are needed because in some cases (such as speciation profiles and meteorology data), the data are to be shared across multiple runs. In other cases (such as inventory data), the data are specific to a case and should be stored independently to prevent corrupting other modeling runs. To change the directories used for input (or any other) files in SMOKE, you must modify the Assigns file as described in Section 3.3, “How to change the default directory structure”.
In this section, we list all of the raw input files to SMOKE. The files are grouped into tables by functional type:
Within each table, the files are listed in alphabetical order. When a file is optional, this is noted in the description column of the table.
All of the ASCII files could conceivably be prepared manually. However, the last three table columns indicate other options you can use to prepare the files.
An “X” in column “CNV” indicates that there is a SMOKE converter (either a Fortran program, SAS program, script, or Excel spreadsheet) to create the file.
An “X” in column “ST” indicates that the SMOKE Tool in Models-3 can prepare the file.
An entry in column “Other” indicates that there is another method available to create the file, or that the file is resident in the installation, in which case it is not likely to need modification for most users.

In this section, we summarize the SMOKE input files for the nctox sample case provided with SMOKE for processing ozone, PM, and toxics pollutants. You can adapt these tables to keep track of the raw input files needed for your cases, and to help you understand all the files that need to be prepared for input to SMOKE. Section 4.2.1, “nctox case” is a description of the nctox case in more detail. The documentation in Section 4.5, “How to use SMOKE” describes which input files need to be changed for adapting the default scripts to a particular case.
We list the raw SMOKE input files by program, with the programs listed in alphabetical order:
The files listed are the files that would have to be created by the user or provided by SMOKE, and most cannot be created with a SMOKE utility (exceptions are noted in the tables). Those files that are typically prepared by the users are listed with their logical file names in bold, while the files that users do not usually change fro the defaults are not. Intermediate files (those output by one program and input to another) are not included in the list, but can be found with the program-specific documentation in Chapter 6, SMOKE Core Programs and in the intermediate file documentation in Chapter 9, SMOKE Intermediate Files. The files that are shared among several programs are listed with each program for which they are used (i.e. listed multiple times), and noted with an asterisk adjacent to the logical file name. The file paths are listed using the path logical names, the definitions for which are available below the tables.

There are several directories that contain the raw SMOKE inputs. These are:
$INVDIR/area: Raw area inputs
$SMKDAT/inventory/beld2 or $SMKDAT/inventory/beld3: Raw biogenic inputs
$INVDIR/biog: Other biogenic inputs
$INVDIR/mobile: Raw on-road mobile inputs
$INVDIR/nonroad: Raw nonroad mobile inputs (these can alternatively be included in the area directory)
$INVDIR/point: Raw point inputs
$INVDIR/other: Other raw inputs not associated with a specific source category
$GE_DAT: Shared data
$SMK_M6PATH: Raw MOBILE6 input files
$SMK_EMISPATH: Emission factor inputs (the single file that is considered a raw input file is actually prepared by the SMOKE scripts, when these are being used).
$METDAT: Meteorology data (this can be linked to a meteorology directory that is also used by the air quality model).
All of these directories are based on the $SMKDAT directory, which is set by the Assigns file as $EDSS_ROOT/data. The EDSS_ROOT environment variable should be set as part of the SMOKE installation process, as described in Section 12.3, “Installing SMOKE”.
For the nctox case, these directories (based on your EDSS_ROOT setting) are as follows:
$SMKDAT: $EDSS_ROOT/data
$INVDIR: $SMKDAT/inventory/nctox
