SMOKE v4.8 process MEIC inventory, using EDGAR program

Hi, I’m trying to process MEIC inventory to CMAQ input files using SMOKEv4.8. I’ve processed the MEIC inventory liked the EDGAR (netcdf format, per file included three variables, lat, lon and one pollutant respectively), the GRIDMASK file is the edgar GRIDMASK file, an error occurred when executed the smkinven part, detail as follow:

     *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine RDGRDNCF
     Problem reading gridded inventory file

Now, I have a few questions:

  1. Can I use SMOKE EDGAR processing MEIC inventory? I look previous topics in the forum, seem that the EDGAR is not appropriate the MEIC inventory?
    If I can use EDGAR process MEIC inventory, then I have following questions:
  2. What’s the reason of the above error?
  3. Can I use the EDGAR GRIDMASK file directly, or I need create a new one for my own and how can I make a new one?
  4. Can I use the “invtable_hapcap_cb05soa.txt” file for CMAQv5.3.2(the chemical mechnism is CB06)? or how can I make a new one?

Specifically what file do you mean when referring to the MEIC inventory?

Hi, alison. Thank you for your replying. Well, I want to use SMOKE to process the MEIC inventory so that it can be inputted into the CMAQ. The MEIC inventory is an grid inventory with res=0.25degrees, nrows=200, ncols=320.
The original MEIC inventory as below (using the “ncdump” tool):

netcdf \2017_0_power_NOx {
dimensions:
	side = 2 ;
	xysize = 64000 ;
variables:
	double x_range(side) ;
	double y_range(side) ;
	double spacing(side) ;
	int dimension(side) ;
	float z(xysize) ;
		z:scale_factor = 1. ;
		z:add_offset = 0. ;
		z:node_offset = 1 ;
		z:nodata_value = -9999. ;

// global attributes:
		:title = "" ;
		:source = "MEIC Core gridding - GMTEngine" ;
}

I used the python to process the MEIC inventory so that it maybe like the EDGAR inventory, the processed MEIC inventory as below:

netcdf meic_NOx_transportation_2017 {
dimensions:
	lat = 200 ;
	lon = 320 ;
variables:
	float lat(lat) ;
	float lon(lon) ;
	float NOx(lat, lon) ;
		NOx:units = "Mg/m2" ;
}

As compare, I post the EDGAR inventory information as below:

netcdf edgar_HTAP_NOx_emi_TRANSPORT_2010.0.1x0.1 {
dimensions:
	lat = 1800 ;
	lon = 3600 ;
variables:
	float lat(lat) ;
		lat:standard_name = "latitude" ;
		lat:long_name = "latitude" ;
		lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
		lat:comment = "center_of_cell" ;
	float lon(lon) ;
		lon:standard_name = "longitude" ;
		lon:long_name = "longitude" ;
		lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
		lon:comment = "center_of_cell" ;
	float emi_nox(lat, lon) ;
		emi_nox:standard_name = "tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_nox_expressed_as_nitrogen_dioxide_due_to_emission" ;
		emi_nox:long_name = "Emissions of NOX - " ;
		emi_nox:units = "kg m-2 s-1" ;
		emi_nox:cell_method = "time: mean (interval: 1 year, 365 days)" ;
		emi_nox:total_emi_nox = "   4.18267e+010 kg/year" ;
		emi_nox:comment = " (see http://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/methodology.php#12sou for the definitions of the single sources)" ;

// global attributes:
		:Conventions = "CF-1.0" ;
		:title = "Annual Mean Emissions of NOX - " ;
		:institution = "European Commission, Joint Research Centre" ;
		:source = "http://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/htap_v2/" ;
		:history = "MICS Asia, EPA US/Canada, EMEP/TNO Europe, EDGARv4.3 Rest of the world on Fri Dec 20 13:51:25 2013" ;
		:references = "EC, JRC / US EPA, HTAP_V2. http://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/htap/EDGAR-HTAP_v1_final_jan2012.pdf" ;
		:contact = "greet.maenhout@jrc.ec.europa.eu" ;
}

Is there something wrong? Looking forward to any suggestions, thank you.

What does

mean? That’s not a standard units-designation…

oh, the units is also have influence, I’ll change it and try again. Thank you, cjcoats.

The GRIDMASK might be causing the “Bad COL dimension” error, but either way, they will need to create a GRIDMASK for the same domain as their MEIC inventory (res=0.25degrees, nrows=200, ncols=320).

To make a GRIDMASK, you first need to determine the primary country (GEOCODE) and time zone (TZONES) for each 0.25x0.25 degree grid cell. Making a CSV with that information first (col,row,GEOCODE,TZONES) and then converting that to I/O API is one way to do it. There may be some past CMAS forum threads that have also discussed how to create GRIDMASKs.

Hello!
I am trying to do the same thing as you do, processing the MEIC dataset to CMAQ!
I have built the GRIDMASK and transformed the MEIC inventory to EDGAR-like files. I am not sure whether I did right… I tried to re-run the script but a segmentation fault occurred.

Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.

Backtrace for this error:

Did you manage to form the emission files?

     *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine GETFORMT
     I/O error    5007 reading inventory file at line       1

Hello again!
I have solved this problem.
The GETFORMT error mainly casued by the format of the attribute ‘total_emi_<pollute>’.
I used the Python format function to form the number, which was a little different from it in Fortran.
The right format was like:
emi_nox:total_emi_nox = " 1.72115e+006 kg/month" .

Detailed information can be found in 4.4.2.7.1. Pre-gridded inventories from the same modeling domain as an area source without source characterization or attributes in user’s manual.

Hope this helps.
