Tmpbio is the second program in the SMOKE-BEIS2 model. Tmpbio reads the gridded, normalized emissions file BGRD
and/or BGRDW
produced by Rawbio, as well as meteorological data from MET_FILE1
and/or MET_FILE2
(MET_CRO_2D
or MET_CRO_3D
). Speciation profiles are used to speciate biogenic pollutants into appropriate chemical mechanisms; the CB4 and RADM2 mechanisms
are supported. The normalized emissions and meteorological data are used to produce gridded, speciated, hourly biogenic emissions.
Additionally, an optional seasonal switch file, BIOSEASON
, can be used to determine when and where to use summer or winter normalized emissions data on a daily basis. Both the BGRD
and BGRDW
files are needed if the seasonal switch file is used.
