Figure 6.7, “Met4moves input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Met4moves program. The input files are the Grid Description File from MCIP(GRIDDESC), the Surrogate Description file (SRGDESC), the MCIP List of Meteorology File (METLIST), and the reference county cross-reference file (MCXREF).
Met4moves outputs datasets for SMOKE that contain the min/max temperatures and averaged RH associated for each inventory county. Met4moves outputs for MOVES datasets that provide all (min/max) temperature combinations for a reference county, reflecting all min/max combinations for all inventory counties in that county group. The associated RH values are also included in these datasets. In addition, the datasets include the 24-h diurnal profiles needed for the RPP emission process, and contain user-specified temperature increments for use by MOVES.
