SMOKE Run with cb05_ae05_aq

SMOKE
1

Hi everyone,

I have to run SMOKE with the chemical mechanism cb05_ae05_aq. I’ve been using SMOKE 3.7 along with the ancillary data for speciation from https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2011/v2platform, but it appears that this platform supports only cb05, not specifically AE05.

Could you please let me know which SMOKE modeling platform (year/version) and ancillary files provide support for cb05_ae05_aq speciation?

Thank you for your help.

From the 2011v6.3 TSD Section 3.2 it says we only included AE6 PM species staring with the v6.2 platform:

Some updates to speciation made in the 2011v6.2 platform and carried forward into the 2011v6.3 platform include the following (the subsections below contain more details on the specific changes):

  • VOC speciation profile cross reference assignments for nonpoint oil and gas sources were updated based on comments;
  • VOC and PM speciation for onroad mobile sources occurs within MOVES2014;
  • the latest CB6 chemical mechanism was used;
  • only AE6 PM species are included, where previously both AE5 and AE6 species were generated;
  • the 2010 Canadian point source inventories in the othpt sector use CB05 speciation as it was provided from Environment Canada; and
  • speciation for onroad mobile sources in Mexico was updated to be more consistent with that used in the United States.

So 2022v6.1 was the last one that incluced both AE5 and AE6.
