Hi James,
I’m using the US1: 459×299 domain output from CMAQ to generate ICON/BCON for my 4 km domain. (This domain already exhibited significant underestimation in NOₓ, as noted here: Underestimation of NOx in Canadian Dominant Domain - #2 by foley.kristen).
For the 12 km runs, I obtained the 108k HEMI data for ICON/BCON along with all CMAQ inputs from the EQUATE project (2019 version).
Here is my domain setup. So far, I’ve only examined the 4 km and D03 (Toronto 1.33 km) outputs:
For my 4km domain, I used all the emission sectors for the US and Canada.
- AFDUST
- AIRPORTS
- CANADA_AG
- CANADA_OG2D
- CMV_C1C2
- CMV_C3
- LIVESTOCK
- NONPT
- NONROAD
- NP_OILGAS
- NP_SOLVENTS
- fertilizer
- ONROAD : This I used the AQ inventory instead moves version
- OTHAFDUST
- OTHPTDUST
- OTHAR
- ONROAD_CAN
- OTHPT
- PTAGFIRE
- PTEGU
- PTNONIPM
- PTFIRE-RX
- PTFIRE-WILD
- PTFIRE_OTHNA
- PT_OILGAS
- RAIL
- RWC
For 1.33km domain, I only used the Canadian emission sectors except PTFIRE_OTHNA. Here are the sectorsused : Onroad_can, Canada_Ag, Canada_og2d, cmv_c1c2, cmv_c3,OTHPT,OTHAFDUST,OTHPTDUST, and OTHAR
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
As a side note: Are the emissions from the NEI2019 platform different from those used in the EQUATES 2019 platform?
Thanks again,
Shayamila
