I don’t believe that Gentpro has not been updated to support latest TREF format yet. It generates the updated TPRO files but not the TREF yet unless I am mistaken. Since you are generating the county-specific temporal profiles for RWC sources, you can still use the same TREF (no need to update with the TREF output file from Gentrpo), The original TREF should work fine with the newly generated TPRO files you generated. Let me know whether this fixes the issue with Temproal or not. ---

We think we have a fix for this issue, but not until tomorrow. Will follow up then… ---

Thanks for providing the solution, but unfortunately the original TREF file still gave the same error. Wei ---

We have posted a new package for using Gentpro including a README that should help address the issues you have been having – please let us know how it goes: [https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2017/ancillary\_data/gentpro\_scripts\_2017platform.zip](https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2017/ancillary_data/gentpro_scripts_2017platform.zip) ---

it shouldn’t be a problem with the surrogate as SMOKE will subset it as long as it is aligned with the grid you are running.[.](https://forpc.onl) [.](https://forpc.onl/youtube-vanced-for-pc/) ---

@eyth.alison I am trying to generate GENTRO for my domain using the script in the 2017 platform. However, I am getting memory allocation error. I tried up to 5 nodes for my job submission. However, I am still getting the error. what should I do? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/cmas/original/2X/f/f0c7a05cdc0b6f5b794a91d7bda86a76176ef79c.png) ---

@eyth.alison I am trying to generate for ‘ag’. I updated my srgdesc, griddesc, usa\_340\_nofill, and the run script. It starts working but after closing met file the program cashes with memory allocation error. ---

Thank you for this information. We note that this is not typically a memory intensive program. Unfortunately, we can’t provide much more troubleshooting right now due to folks being out for the holidays. If your domain is over the U.S., you could use the temporal profiles provided with the 2017 platform: [https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2017/ancillary\_data/ge\_dat\_for\_2017gb\_temporal\_29jun2020.zip](https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2017/ancillary_data/ge_dat_for_2017gb_temporal_29jun2020.zip) ---

Thanks for providing the alternative solution. Based on the manual, gentpro program requires annual MCIP output, which in my case I didn’t provide. Since my project has only specific time period (which is only selected months of the year that I can provide the MCIP output), is there any way that I can utilize gentpro? Thanks ---

It looks like you have a single met file for the 20-day period. We don’t know if Gentpro can read all met data from one file. But a larger issue is that Gentpro is designed to run with met. data from an entire year and it appears you do not have that. Instead of running Gentpro, you could consider using the RWC and ag profiles from the corresponding 12US1 annual case for 2018, such as the Gentpro outputs from the 2018 package: [https://gaftp.epa.gov/air/emismod/2018/ancillary\_data/ge\_dat\_for\_2018gc\_temporal\_11oct2021.zip](https://gaftp.epa.gov/air/emismod/2018/ancillary_data/ge_dat_for_2018gc_temporal_11oct2021.zip) ---

Thanks @eyth.alison I think the error I am getting from Gentpro is due to unavailability of the whole year met files. For RWC, I was able to use Gentpro outputs and the model is working fine. However, for ag, the model cannot process the Gentpro output from 12US1 domain since my domain is totally different than 12US1. ---

Yes, that makes sense although I’m surprised that you got it to work for RWC without a full year of met data. If your domain is over the continental US you may still be able to use the pregenerated files. Otherwise, not sure how to help further – you may be able to derive some regular diurnal profiles from the pregenerated data they just won’t be as specific. ---

Can you attach your full Gentpro log so we can help determine which input might be causing a problem? [Previous page](https://forum.cmascenter.org/t/run-gentpro-script/2816.md?page=1)
