Replicating ptnonipm sector emission found in EPA's 2021 Platform : number of species are about half

Dear SMOKE users

I have a question about EPA’s 2021 Platform (https://2021platform.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html#2021platform/ ) CMAQ ready SMOKE output.

We are specifically looking into replicating the ptnonipm sector of above link using the 2021 Emissions platform scripts (https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2021/) and we are noticing some inconsistencies on the produced INLN files.

These are mainly HAPS species missing from our files and the size (the number of species) is about half. We believe this is due to a different gspro/gsref not available on our emissions platform setup (also possibly slightly different inventories?).

Can someone help us identify/point to the files needed to replicate the platform input/sector?

We use SMOKE 5.1 on AWS and can attach our onetime run-script. (modified from the 2021 emissions platform)

Thanks

I believe the posted files do include more HAPs than the traditional CAP-focused cases. The provided scripts will produce the species that you need for CAP-focused (ozone / PM) modeling. So you don’t need to reproduce the additional species. Have you been able to get good agreement for the CAP species?

Also note that we packaged scripts as-is for this case and included INVTABLE and other speciation files for both HAP+CAP and CAP-focused cases.
