Implementation of the SMOKE Emission Data Processor and SMOKE Tool Input DataProcessor in Models-3

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has implemented Version 1.3 of SMOKE(Sparse Matrix Object Kernel Emission) processor for preparation of area, mobile, point, and biogenic sources emission data within Version 4.1 of the Models-3 air quality modeling framework. The SMOKE system includes MOBILE 5b to model on-road emissions and the Biogenic Emission Inventory System, Version 2 (BEIS 2) to model biogenic emissions. Although SMOKE may be operated from scripts outside of the Models-3 framework, integration within the system allows automatic registration and tracking of input and output files, as well as close coupling to the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system and visualization tools by using the Net CDF I/O API data format convention. Models-3 also includes the SMOKE Tool to assist in preparation of emission input data for SMOKE.
