Hi teachers,
I added BC and OC to arinv.edgar.lst and then ran SMOKE. I didn’t encounter any errors, but the program seems to be stuck at the ‘‘temporal’’ program and does not finish running. I am confused about this behavior. Can SMOKE properly process BC and OC from the emissions inventory and generate the emission files needed for CMAQ?
EDGAR-HTAP BC is mapped to PEC in our hemispheric applications, although I’m not sure if you need to rename it to PEC prior to processing.
Our standard for NOx in regional modeling is:
For mobile sources (onroad*, nonroad, rail, CMV, airports): NO: 0.9 NO2: 0.092 HONO: 0.0080 (* for onroad, the NO/NO2 ratios are determined within MOVES and vary somewhat)
For everything else: NO 0.9, NO2 1.0, HONO 0
Historically for hemispheric modeling / EDGAR-HTAP inventories, we have only used the 90/10 NO/NO2 split with no HONO. But there’s no technical reason why the HONO profile couldn’t be used for EDGAR-HTAP, although based on what we do for regional modeling, it should only be applied for mobile / transport sectors.
