The BGPRO
file must be provided to SMOKE when using county land use data, in order to provide a means of converting county land use
to gridded land use. The format for the BGPRO
file is the same as for the AGPRO
and MGPRO
files (see Section 8.4.1, “AGPRO
and MGPRO
: Area and Mobile Spatial Surrogates Files”). Typically, the same gridded surrogates file would be used, and the Rawbio options would be set to assign the county area, agriculture, or forest surrogates to the various biogenic land use groups.
