In addition to log files, some SMOKE programs also create reports. These reports can help provide quality assurance concerning the steps taken by the program. The programs and their associated reports and uses are as follows:

Smkinven: Creates the REPINVEN file, which documents the inventory data read, which data where kept, and the inventory totals for each data value. It also includes the area-to-point conversion information.

Laypoint: Creates the REPRTLAY file, which documents any point sources for which the Laypoint program computed a plume rise into a layer greater than the layer number set by the REP_LAYER_MAX setting.

Spcmat: Creates the ASSUP, MSSUP, and PSSUP files, which include the speciation profile codes assigned to each source by pollutant. These files can be used with the ASCII component of the SMOKE intermediate inventory file (AREA, MOBL, and PNTS) to quickly determine the speciation profile assigned to a specific source. These files are also input files to the Smkreport program, for creating more involved summaries of emissions and/or sources including the speciation profiles.

Grdmat: Creates the AGSUP and MGSUP files, which include the spatial surrogate codes assigned to each source. They also indicate whether that assignment was a fallback or original assignment. This file can be used with the ASCII component of the SMOKE intermediate inventory file (AREA and MOBL) to quickly determine the spatial surrogate assigned to a specific source. These files can also be used by the Smkreport program, for creating more involved summaries of emissions and/or sources including the spatial surrogate codes.

Temporal: Creates the ATSUP, MTSUP, and PTSUP files, which include the monthly, weekly, and diurnal profile codes assigned to each source for each pollutant. These files can be used with the ASCII component of the SMOKE intermediate inventory file (AREA, MOBL, and PNTS) to quickly determine the temporal profiles assigned to a specific source. When no pollutant-specific temporal profile assignments have been made, these files can also be used by the Smkreport program, for creating more involved summaries of emissions and/or sources including the temporal profile codes.

Cntlmat: Writes several report files (documented with the Cntlmat program in Chapter 6, SMOKE Core Programs) that summarize the growth and control factors. Separate reports are written for each type of projection (growth, multiplicative control, reactivity control) with emissions before and after each control. Another report is written that summarizes all projections made to each source.

Smkmerge: Writes a report of state and/or county totals that are created at the same time as the model-ready files. These totals are guaranteed to match the actual state/county totals in the model-ready gridded, hourly outputs (unless there is a problem introduced into Smkmerge). These reports are useful even though they duplicate the Smkreport reports in some ways, because they allow you to ensure that the Smkmerge totals and Smkreport totals are the same - indicating that Smkreport was run with the correct files. Because Smkreport is run separately from Smkmerge, this is not necessarily the case, so you should confirm it with the Smkmerge report.
