Note that BEIS will create a SOILINP file for days subsequent to the first day in a sequence of simulations.

B4GTS_L |
I/O API NetCDF | Gridded, speciated, hourly biogenic emissions, in moles/hour |

ASCII | Log generated from executing Tmpbeis4 |
The user must point to the SOILOUT file from one day’s simulation as the SOILINP file for the next day. The user must also decide whether to write over SOILOUT files from previous days or create a uniquely named SOILOUT file for each day. The latter approach is recommended if the user wishes to retain the capability to restart simulations
in the middle of a sequence of simulations.
