5.8.3.1. Input Files

File Name Format Description
GEOMASK I/O API NetCDF Gridded, time-independent file that assigns a 1 to any grid cell whose emissions you want to adjust. The emissions from INFILE in grid cells that have a 1 in GEOMASK are multiplied by the factor provided in SPECFACS. All other emissions and grid cells are untouched.
INFILE I/O API NetCDF Hourly, gridded, speciated inputs from Smkmerge. INFILE should be set to logical file name AGTS_[L|S], BGTS_[L|S], MGTS_[L|S], PGTS_[L|S], PGTS3D_[L|S], EGTS_[L|S], or EGTS3D_[L|S], which are the output files from Smkmerge.
SPECFACS ASCII

File that lists the species name and the factor to be applied to all grid cells with a 1 value in the GEOMASK file. The species name must be in columns 1-16 and the factor in columns 17-22. For example, the following SPECFACS file sample would multiply NO and NO2 emissions by 1.3 (30% increase) and multiply PAR by 0.6 (40% decrease).

NO              1.3
NO2             1.3
PAR             0.6

File Name Format Description
LOGFILE ASCII Log generated from executing Geofac
OUTFILE I/O API NetCDF Hourly, gridded, speciated emissions, adjusted based on GEOMASK and SPECFACS.
