CMAQ PM2.5 overestimation

Dear Min,
Thank you for your message.

Regarding the sector names, I assume that the first column (SCC) in the ARINV list file can be configured according to the user’s preference. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Conversely, the third column “Variable_Name” appears to map directly to the exact variable names presented in your NetCDF files.

You can find actual (unmodified) variable names of 4 datasets (HTAP 2, HTAP3, HTAP 3.1, EDGAR 8.1) in the following screenshot:

However, you could even modify the variable names in the .nc files, see EXTRACT emissions from EDGAR_HTAPv3 with limited geographical domain (South America) - #16 by Jano

Kind Regards,

Mason
