Airport Sector Availability in 2022 CRACMM Emissions

Emissions
1

Hello,

I have a plan to use the 2022 CRACMM chemical mechanism and have a question regarding the treatment of airport emissions.

  1. Whether the provided 2022 CRACMM emissions inventory includes a airport sector? I downloaded from Making sure you're not a bot!

  2. If an airport sector exists, what is the recommended way to extract or isolate this sector from the CMAQ-ready emissions files?

Thank you.

CRACMM emission-separated sectors

Airports are lumped with other sources in the merged 2-D emissions at merged_nobeis_norwc. Do you need that sector separate? Aircraft organic aerosol emissions are represented as semivolatile (Table S9).

Thank you for answering the question.

I want to make a background emissions without the airport sector.

With Table S9, I could calculate the speciation but not the quantity of airport emissions.

Do you have any ideas?

Yes

Yes I need airport emission as separated file.

Thank you for airport emissions.

  1. Still I would like to get Dec 2021 airport emission for pre-run for Jan 2022.
  2. Also could you upload beis emission as well in CRACMM folder?

Thank you so much for your help.

@lizadams is working on posting the airport emission files for 2022. We may keep them in a separate location as they are not needed by default as they are in other files.

Thank you.

Do you guys have a plan to provide rwc only, not airports and beis for CRACMM?

CB6 usually provides with pre-merged sectors for rwc, airports, beis as default with pre-run period for January.

Thank you for your work!

Inputs produced by ORD (which include these) do not have premerged biogenics/beis. ORD configurations generally rely on the in-line BEIS emissions. Input files for inline BEIS should be in the surface or misc folders. I’ll follow-up on the pre-merged sectors.
