Figure 6.8, “Movesmrg input and output files” shows the input and output files for the Movesmrg program. The input files are the country, state, and county codes file (COSTCY), the grid description file (GRIDDESC), the inventory data table (INVTABLE), the reference county fuel month file (MFMREF), the list of emission process and associated pollutants file (MEPROC), the reference county cross-reference file (MCXREF), the list of emission factors files by reference county file (MRCLIST), the meteorology files (MET_CRO_2D), the gridding matrix from Grdmat (MGMAT), the inventory file output from Smkinven (MOBL), the speciation matrix from Spcmat (MSMAT_L or MSMAT_S), the Met4moves output file for SMOKE (METMOVES =SMOKE_OUTFILE), the MOVES-based lookup tables (RPD, RPV, and RPP), and the daily hour VMT files from Temporal (MTMP_(day)). Note that MET_CRO_2D, METMOVES, and MTMP_(day) are optional files that are included only in certain situations.
Movesmrg outputs a model-ready emissions file MGTS_L or MGTS_S, a report file REPMGTS_S, and a log file LOGFILE.
When using source apportionment (see Section 4.4.24, “Output source apportionment data”), Movesmrg will also read the source grouping file (SMKMERGE_GROUPS) and output the source group information STACK_GROUPS_OUT, the emissions for each source group SGINLNTS_L or SGINLNTS_S, and a source group report file SRCGRP_REPORT.

-
MEMORY_OPTIMIZE_YN:: [default: Y]Allows Movesmrg to use less RAM memory. However, it will increase computational time of RPD_MODE and RPV_MODE runs.
-
Y: Runs Movesmrg in memory optimization mode.
-
N: Runs Movesmrg faster mode using high capacity of RAM memory.
-
-
MRG_BYDAY: [default: blank]String code that specifies which source category is to use a by-day approach for the hourly input files. It must be set to "M" for a Movesmrg to create an output file for each day.
-
MRG_GRDOUT_YN: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg produces a gridded output file.
-
Y: Read the gridding matrix produced by the Grdmat
-
N: Do not read the gridding matrix.
-
-
MRG_SPCOUT_YN: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg produces a speciated output file.
-
Y: Read the gridding matrix produced by the Spcmat
-
N: Do not read the gridding matrix.
-
-
MRG_REPCNY_YN: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg produces a report of emission totals by county
-
Y: Produce the report by Movesmrg
-
N: Do not produce the report
-

MRG_REPSTA_YN: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg produces a report of emission totals by state
-
Y: Produce the report by Movesmrg
-
N: Do not produce the report
-
-
MRG_REPSCC_YN: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg produces a report of emission totals by SCC
-
Y: Produce the report by Movesmrg
-
N: Do not produce the report
-
-
MRG_REPSRC_YN: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg produces a report of emission totals by source.
-
Y: Produce the report by Movesmrg. It will reset
MRG_REPCNY_YNandMRG_REPSCC_YNto N to avoid to outputing duplicate information into the report. -
N: Do not produce the report
-
-
If
MRG_GRDOUT_UNIT[default: units]String code that permits user to change the unit of the gridded output file.
-
If
MRG_TOTOUT_UNIT[default: units]String code that permits user to change the unit of the state/county total report file.
-
RPD_MODE:[default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg processes rate-per-distance emissions.
-
Y: Process rate-per-distance emissions
-
N: Do not process rate-per-distance emissions
-
-
RPV_MODE: [default: N]Determines whether Movesmrg processes rate-per-vehicle emissions.

-
TEMP_BUFFER_BIN: [default: 0.0]Defines the temperature buffer value (°F). This value allows Movesmrg to cover the outside of min/max temperature range in
SMOKE_OUTFILEfrom Met4moves for Movesmrg RPP processing. IfTEMP_BUFFER_BINis set to 10.0, the original max temperature which is 90.0°F will be treated as 100.0°F, and minimum temperaure (=30°F) will be treated as 20.0°F internally in Movesmrg. Emission rates for those temperatures outside of original temperature range will share the ones from original max/min temperatures. -
