Hello,

I am using the default file “amptpro\_hourly.csv” in South Korea (OUTZONE is 9). But I obtained the right result when I used OUTZONE as 0.  
Does “0100” mean GMT  
in manual ([8.3.&nbsp;Temporal Allocation Files](https://www.cmascenter.org/smoke/documentation/4.8.1/html/ch08s03.html#sect_input_tpro_hourly)) or local time?

Thank you.

The hourly temporal profiles should be in local standard time (LST). If you are generating the emissions output in GMT, then your OUTZONE=0 setting is correct. Here is the details on how OUTZONE should be set.
