9.9.2. SMOKE_OUTPUT

Type: ASCII - column-specific

Used by: SMOKE.

The output file created for use by the SMOKE model contains county-specific min/max temperatures and averaged RH values in local time for every inventory county and averaging period in the modeling inventory. SMOKE adjusts the native MCIP time zone (GMT) to local time in order to properly use the Met4moves lookup tables, which are given in local time. This output contains the actual month (Month), the fuel month (fuelMonth) and Julian date (julianDate) used by MOVES to generate the emission rate lookup tables. If the averaging method is set to monthly, julianDate will contain the last Julian date of the averaging month. There are no 24-h profiles, since SMOKE does not need them.
