5.15.3.1. Input Files

File Name Format Description
GRIDDESC ASCII Grid descriptions file that defines the input grid in the UAMEMIS file. This is needed because the UAMEMIS file does not include enough information to describe the grid for the I/O API. The file must include the name of the grid set by the IOAPI_GRIDNAME_1 environment variable setting.
UAMEMIS Fortran binary UAM-ready, gridded, hourly, speciated emissions file.

5.15.3.2. Input Environment Variables

  • IOAPI_GRIDNAME_1: [default: blank]

    This variable sets the name of the input (and output) grid definition to be read from the GRIDDESC input file. The name can be a maximum of 16 characters long (the limitation of I/O API grid names).

5.15.3.3. Output Files

File Name Format Description
E2DNCF: I/O API NetCDF Gridded, hourly, speciated emissions in the I/O API format needed for CMAQ or MAQSIP.
LOGFILE ASCII Log generated from executing Uam2ncf
