CCTM emission process

SMOKE
1

Hello again:
This message is very confussed for me:

—>> WARNING in subroutine GET_AERO_EMIS on PE 000
Could not read PEC from EMIS_1
M3WARN: DTBUF 12:07:30 Jan. 1, 2014 (2014001:120730)
Bad argument LAY1= 49

Wath´s the meaning of this??

This is the info about EMISS file

“EMIS_1” opened as OLD:READ-ONLY
File name “/home/epino/CMAQ_BLD_NLHPC/data//SMOKE/enero_febre2.ncf”
File type GRDDED3
Execution ID “???”
Grid name “GRIDOUT_POLAR01_”

Maximum current record number 1777
Checking header data for file: EMIS_1

As you can see, I only have one layer in the emission file processed in SMOKE4.5

The other message that confussed me is this:

 Value for CTM_EMLAYS not defined; returning default:  49

Why does it say Number of emission layers Environment variable not set or empty … Using default: 0

How can I change this statement??

My simulation starts at 000000, so I don´t know why CCTM is looking for PEC emissions at 12:07:30. I don´t have PT3D emissions, I only work with surface emissions. PEC is in the emission file, and also CCTM reads it, as you can observe in this message in the log file

Hi Ernesto,
The problem is that we didn’t anticipate user’s having only surface emissions for this version of CMAQ. For CMAQv5.3, user’s are allowed to provide whatever they want. For now, go ahead and implement
setenv CTM_EMLAYS 1
in your runscript. That should solve it.
Cheers
