Fail to generate the ASENS file in CMAQ-DDM V5.4

CMAQ-DDM-3D
1

I am using CMAQv5.4 to run DDM for a simulation but the program fails to generate the ASENS file the log files show the program is done successfully. I am using SAPRC07 and I have only one emission species in sensinput.dat for testing. The ASENS file is created but only has 11k which must be something wrong. Other than that, the simulation seems done successfully, ACONC, CONC and SENGRID are in normal size and the variables in them are reasonable. Looking forward to help.

Best,
K

Thanks for making a new thread.

It is unusual that the program completes and creates a SENGRID files, but not the ASENS files. Does SENGRID have reasonable values?

Another thing to check would be that your GRIDDED_BEIS actually has NO species values in it. Or run a different sensitivity parameter - maybe one to total NO like this (but with proper formatting):

BIE
EMIS
SPECIES
NO

Yes, I think SENGRID has reasonable values (not infinity or zero). And I had tried different options in seninput.dat, including single species (e.g., NO, SO) and all emissions. All test run come up with the same issue.

I have no idea why you are experiencing this, honestly. The last thing to check would be to see if you are removing the old output files completely and to check that you are writing into a completely clean and empty directory.

I found this and seems it solves the problems:

Not sure if it is correct, I tried to use medium memory IOAPI and still got the same error. I tried this modification and now the ASENS file seems successfully generated (regular size).

Hi Sergey,
I have got the same error when I run the latest CMAQ 5.4-HDDM(compiled in September 2023). I have limited the output species, used large IOAPI and online MEGAN.

Here’s my sensinput.dat and the error:

And I tried to run CMAQ5.4 HDDM in the former version (compiled in March 2023) and output the normal ASENS file.

This looks like you have an previously created file that exists in your output directory and the code is trying to add to it. I would make sure that you are writing to a completely empty output directory as the first test.

Hi Sergey,
I tried to specify a new empty output directory but still got the same error.

Please, attach the rest of the log file. Or look for text similar to:

 Could not open A_SENS_1 file for update - try to open new

 Avg Sens File Header Description:
   DDM3D Sensitivity file output
   Averaged over the synchronization time steps

What follows should be the list of variable.

Hi, Sergey
Here is the LOG file.

wry2233,

Please try the 5.4+ branch code. From your log file, it is evident that you are not using the latest release.

When you go to the CMAQ github page (GitHub - USEPA/CMAQ: Code for U.S. EPA’s Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) which helps in conducting air quality model simulations), the default branch is called “main.” Click where it says “main” and select “5.4+” towards the bottom of the selection list. Using this code will address your issue.
