SMOKE TEMPORAL Program Abruptly Terminates

Hello everyone,

I am using the SMOKE model to process EDGAR area source emissions data. The run terminates abruptly during the TEMPORAL program without a clear error message. The output files generated by the program are empty:

  • The output NetCDF file atmp.edgar.bohai.2022182.ncf was created but contains no data.

  • The output text file atsup.edgar.bohai.2022182.txt is also a blank file.

Below is my log file. I would appreciate it if anyone could help analyze the potential cause.

     Program TEMPORAL, Version SMOKEv5.2.1_Sep2025
     Online documentation 
         https://cmascenter.org/smoke/                                         
      
     Program TEMPORAL to take a SMOKE area, mobile, or point
     source inventory file, a temporal profiles file, a temporal
     cross-reference file, an optional SMOKE day-specific file, 
     and an optional SMOKE hour-specific point source file, and
     produce hourly low-level and optionally hourly elevated point
     source emissions for the requested episode.
      
      
     You will need to enter the logical names for the input and
     output files (and to have set them prior to program start,
     using "setenv <logicalname> <pathname>").
      
     You may use END_OF-FILE (control-D) to quit the program
     during logical-name entry. Default responses are given in
     brackets [LIKE THIS] and can be accepted by hitting the
     <RETURN> key.

Hi,

Did you build SMOKE locally or download pre-compiled files?

If you are able to build SMOKE locally can you please try to compile SMOKE with debugging?
