The Normbeis3 program is responsible for computing normalized biogenic emissions. Normbeis3 creates the following intermediate file:
Normalized biogenic emissions file: Section 9.9.1, “B3GRD”
Type: I/O API NetCDF - adapted gridded format
Used by: Tmpbeis3
Table 9.20. I/O API Header for B3GRD
| I/O API Header variable | Meaning | Set by... | 
|---|---|---|
| NROWS3D | Number of rows in the grid | NROWS3D from the gridded land use file | 
| NCOLS3D | Number of columns in the grid | NCOLS3D from the gridded land use file | 
| NVARS3D | Number of biogenic emission species times the number of seasons modeled | B3DIMS3.EXT include file | 
Table 9.21. Variables in B3GRD

| AVGMONO<Season (S or W)> | Real | g C/h | Normalized MONO emissions | 
| AVGOVOC<Season (S or W)> | Real | g C/h | Normalized OVOC emissions | 
| AVGNO<Season (S or W)> | Real | g N/h | Normalized NO emissions |
