Hi All,

I have a question to run certain days usng NEI2017 EPA’s EMF scripts. Could I continue to run from the stop day by setting spinup in scripts of NEI2017 package? For example, stop at Jul 20 due to time limitation, then I set:  
setenv RUN\_MONTHS “8”  
setenv SPINUP\_DURATION “12”  
setenv SPINUP\_MONTH\_END “Y”

## Emissions modeling year

# (i.e. meteorological year, not necessarily the inventory year"

setenv BASE\_YEAR “2017”  
setenv EPI\_STDATE\_TIME “{BASE\_YEAR}-07-20 00:00:00.0" setenv EPI\_ENDATE\_TIME "{BASE\_YEAR}-07-31 23:59:00.0”

I am not sure if it is reasonable, or is there other way to run certain days instead of the whole month for the scripts in NEI2017 package?

Thank you in advance!

Some instructions on running certain day’s have been added as Section 12 of this file:

Did you already review the info on running SMOKE for part of a month in section 12 of this file?

Hi alison,

Thank you for your reply!  
Yes, it works for me now, I set a wrong path for run\_setting.txt before.
