SMOKE v5.0: Missing Point Fire Emissions on Daily Runs / Log Analyzer Exit Priority Error

SMOKE Run Errors and Warnings
1

Hello,

I am running SMOKE v5.0 to process point fire sectors (ptfire and ptagfire) for July and August 2015 using laypoint. I am primarily focused on August 2015.

While my one time runs complete successfully without issues, my daily script runs throw an error during the log analyzer stage, and my final merged output is missing a significant amount of emissions. I see the same output whether using laypoint or inline processing.

1. Missing Emissions

After running laypoint, I did the merge sector step for ptagfire, ptfire, and ptfire_othna. When calculating total emissions for the CONUS domain, my totals for August are roughly 40% lower than expected:

  • EC (Elemental Carbon): Expected ~77 Gg | Actual Output: 45.8 Gg
  • CO (Carbon Monoxide): Expected ~9,590 Gg | Actual Output: 5,650 Gg

2. Log Analyzer Error Output

Even though individual program log files terminate with Normal Completion, the daily scripts fail at the log analyzer step with the following output:

SCRIPT NOTE: Registration of Smkreport temporal reports is currently automatically turned off because these reports are no longer being generated.
SCRIPT NOTE: Not registering Smkmerge reports because only found 62 Smkmerge reports out of expected 365

3. Questions

  • Missing Days?: The script notes it only found 62 Smkmerge reports out of an expected 365. Since I am only trying to model July and August 2015, I am unsure why it expects 365 reports, or if it is dropping daily data files because of this mismatch. But 62 reports align with the 62 days in July and August.
  • Syntax Warnings: I am running SMOKE v5.0 but I just replaced the Linux2_x86_64ifort directory without changing the parent directory name, so it still says smoke4.5. Would this cause issues in running?

Has anyone encountered this specific error or an issue with dropping massive amounts of mass compared to the input files? I would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed!

Thank you!
