The Rawbio program is responsible for computing normalized biogenic emissions. Rawbio creates the following intermediate file:
Normalized biogenic emissions file: Section 9.10.1, “BGRD (summer) or BGRDW (winter)”
Type: I/O API NetCDF - adapted gridded format
Used by: Tmpbio
Table 9.21. I/O API Header for BGRD and BGRDW
| I/O API Header variable | Meaning | Set by... |
|---|---|---|
| NROWS3D | Number of rows in the grid | NROWS3D from the gridded land use file |
| NCOLS3D | Number of columns in the grid | NCOLS3D from the gridded land use file |
| NVARS3D | Number of biogenic emission species | B3DIMS3.EXT include file
|
