Error in generating inline dust emissions while running CMAQ5.0.2

Dear @tlspero , @lizadams, @thayna.gomes, @cjcoats,

Please, I’m having this problem.

I ran cctm using CMAQ5.0.2 with WRF4.1.2 outputs processed with MCIP4.5. Also, I tried WRF3.8.1 outputs processed with MCIP4.2 but still got same error. In the GRICRO2D, there are open shrublands (in LUFRAC_07) and closed shrublands (in LUFRAC_06) variables but got this error while running cctm:

In my cctm script, I used:

setenv DUST_LU_1 MetPath/GRIDCRO2D{EXTN}
setenv DUST_LU_2 MetPath/GRIDCRO2D{EXTN}

Is there any setting to be done or modification to be inserted to make it working?

Your prompt help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Catalyst,
In the benchmark run script for CMAQv5.3, the environment variables are set as follows:

#> Windblown dust emissions configuration
if ( $CTM_WB_DUST == ‘Y’ ) then
# Input variables for BELD3 Landuse option
setenv DUST_LU_1 $LUpath/beld3_12US1_459X299_output_a_bench.nc
setenv DUST_LU_2 $LUpath/beld4_12US1_459X299_output_tot_bench.nc
endif

I examined the file using ncdump and see that the USGS_shrubland variable is in that file.

I am not sure if this option is available with CMAQ5.0.2. Is there a reason that you are not using CMAQv5.3 for your runs?

Dear @lizadams,

I’ve solved this problem. For now, I prefer using CMAQv5.0.2 for some reasons.

Thanks so much and best regards.

Dear Catalyst2682,

I am getting the same error which you asked in the starting of this thread, can you please tell the solution of how you did it? It would be of great help.
Because as we are studying outside of the US, we do not have explicit DUST emissions input, and using GRIDCRO2D is generating the same error as yours
