Guidance for using AFDUST with SMOKE

SMOKE Emissions Inventory
1

We would like to use the afdust module to suppress dust in the model when soil is wet or there is rain. A couple years ago, Alison Eyth provided us with links to scripts for afdust:
ftp://ftp.epa.gov/EmisInventory/2011v6/v2platform/smoke_scripts_utils/2011eh_cb05_v6_11g_scripts.zip
ftp://ftp.epa.gov/EmisInventory/2011v6/v2platform/smoke_scripts_utils/smoke_helper_scripts_2011v2platform_smoke36.zip

Unfortunately, we never got very far on it.

Is there any manual/guidance for installing afdust the first time? Or perhaps there is a set of example SMOKE scripts that have afdust routines inserted?

Hi Farren, if you download all the files from the site and untar them, you should have a preprocessing script that can generate afdust xportfract input file required prior to the AFDUST run script “Annual_afdust_adj_*.csh”. The preprocessing run scripts are packaged and located at:

smoke/smoke_preproc_scripts/afdust_xportfrac_regrid_scripts.zip

It is not complete but README file contains some ancillary information for this AFDUST adjustment run setting.
