2. SMOKE Training – Area Sources
2 SMOKE Training — Area Sources
2.1
Introduction
During this area-sources training, you will:
•
Copy the area-sources run script, examine the script, and change options.
•
Process 2-d and 3-d area-source emissions for the CMAQ model.
•
Examine area-source program logs and reports.
•
Examine area-source emissions files in PAVE.
•
Problem solve for processing area sources on a new grid.
The symbol “>” is used throughout the training materials to represent the Linux prompt. When
this symbol appears as the first entry on a line in these instructions, you do not need to type it.
Also, Courier font is used to indicate text that you should type at the prompt as you work
through the exercises.
NOTE: To proceed with this lab, you must have created an Assigns file for the uae36 grid,
as described in the SMOKE Overview Exercise. Use the following command to source your
Assigns file:
> source $SMKROOT/assigns/ASSIGNS.train_<initials>.cmaq5.cb05p25.uae36

The run script and script options
1. In this step, you will copy the area-sources run script and configure it to use your Assigns file
and to run SMOKE for inventory import, gridding, and merge. The following steps will
guide you through this process.
A. Go to the directory that contains the SMOKE run scripts:
> cd $SCRIPTS/run
B. Copy the area-sources script to one that uses your initials. In the instructions below, fill in
your initials where indicated, as you did for the Assigns file. Remember that you can use
the tab key to complete file names.
> cp smk_ar_mideast07.csh smk_ar_train_<initials>.csh
C. View your area-sources script using the following command:
> gedit smk_ar_train_<initials>.csh &
D. Examine the script. Note that at the top of the script the SMK_SOURCE environment
variable is set to “A”, indicating that area sources should be processed. Below that, the
script sets which programs to run using the RUN_* variables. Next, the program-specific
