Megan 3.2 preprocessor input files missing from website

Hello there. Im trying to run the Megan 3.2 preprocessor. In order to so, I believe the following input files are needed:

  1. LAI
  2. Growth form and ecotype

Files for growth form and ecotype are not available in the website (Broken links). Does anyone know where can I find them?

Kind regards
Sol

Here is a link to a tarball with inputs for ecotype and growth form:

LAI input is optional when using MEGAN 3.2 with CMAQ (USE_MEGAN_LAI). By default the LAI in your MCIP files will be used. If you want to use a different LAI you can download one of these: UCI BAI - LAI. The links are working for me.

Here is rough flow chart showing what files need to be preprocessed for use with CMAQ. The files in green are optional unless you want a specific LAI input or want to use BDSNP for soil NO. Inputs to the python tool are in yellow boxes.

Thank you so much! Both for the inputs and the flow chart. Extremely useful!

Hi everyone, so the input files for MEGAN pre-processor are here? Thanks

Hello there. I ran Megan 3.2 pre processor successfully with the input files provided by willson.jeff here. I dont think they are the same files that you are sharing.

Did you had any problem using the files linked here?

In the link there are only ecotype and growth form. Where can I find the other data (lai and the weather inputs)? Thanks

Usually you generate them by running WRF or some other model

Perfect, thank you so much!

LAI is provided by Professor Guenther’s lab website. weather inputs are gained from WRF model simulation.
