Turning off emissions sources in CMAQ 5.3 v2

[Georgy]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I`m working with CMAQ v.5.3.1 and trying to run the model without emissions included. So I followed the steps from “CMAQ User Guide” and from this topic:

Turning off emissions sources in CMAQ 5.3

Hello, I am working on using the Windblown Dust Model within CMAQ to study to particulate matter emissions. I am using CMAQ version 5.3.1 and I would like to know if it is possible to have the CCTM not take into account any emissions besides those created inline by the windblown dust model? If this is possible would I still have to have SMOKE input files? Lawless

Unfortunately when I run CMAQ in such mode I get into segmentation fault (Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference). What can be the reason for the problem? P.S.
Iam running CMAQ in "mpi" mode with the identical settings and it performs successful simulation on 24 h if "N_EMIS_PT" in config file is set to more than "0". I decided to turn emissions off since I want to check if concentration from BC transports well (also I dont have appropriate emission-files for my run).

Here are links to log and config files.

Hi,
Did you compile the model by using the following setting in the bldit script?
set Debug_CCTM #> uncomment to compile CCTM with debug option equal to TRUE
Please try that, to see if human readable back tracing information will be generated in the CMAQ.log file.

Dear Liz Adams!

Thank you very much for the advise. I did as you told and here is a new log-file. Now it can be seen that the problem is in the one of Fortran scripts:

“Error termination. Backtrace:
At line 414 of file EMIS_DEFN.F
Fortran runtime error: Assignment of scalar to unallocated array”

In script EMIS_DEFN.F on the line 414 I found this statement:
"VDEMIS_DIFF = 0.0

Respectfully,
Georgy.

Hi Georgy,

Sorry for this inconvenience. Please try moving that initialization line to a location a little lower in the code. Try right after this line:
IF ( N_EM_SRM .GT. 0 ) THEN
and before this one:
DO ISRM = 1,N_EM_SRM
I think this will allow the code to avoid accessing vdemis_diff in the case that it is not allocated.

Best,
Ben Murphy

Dear Ben Murphy!

Thank you very much! It works! But in addition I have also commented line 466 (“EMIS( :,1:EMLAYS ) = DTS * VDEMIS_DIFF( :,:,C,R )”) in a script “vdiffacmx.F” (located in a BLD-directory) because of an error I met during CMAQ run:

“Error termination. Backtrace:
At line 466 of file vdiffacmx.F
Fortran runtime error: Array bound mismatch for dimension 1 of array ‘emis’ (188/1)”.

After two these fixes I am able to run CMAQ without any offline emissions provided ( N_EMIS_GR=0, N_EMIS_PT=0)!

Respectfully,
Georgy Nerobelov.
