This file is used to rename variables output from Smk2emis, which converts the I/O API format to the 2-D-UAM “EMISSIONS” file format. The VNAMMAP file lists the SMOKE variable names and the variable names to be output from Smk2emis. It is needed for SMOKE support of UAM-AERO, which requires variable names that cannot be supported by the I/O API format. More information on Smk2emis is provided in Section 5.9, “Smk2emis”.
The format of the VNAMMAP file is shown in Table 8.95, “Format for VNAMMAP”.
