JoseAgustin / NEI_2011_radm

Read binary data from NEI2011 and convert into Netcdf files to be used by WRF-chem RADM2 mechanism

NEI_2011

Reads binary files and converts into a NetCDF files for modeling air quality in WRF-chem using the RADM2 chemical mechanism.

Input files

• wrfem_00to12z_d01 binary file generated by NEI_2011 from 1 to 12 hour
• wrfem_12to24z_d01 binary file generated by NEI_2011 from 12 to 24 hour
• wrfinput Same projection and dimensions as wrfem files
• domain.nml Domain namelist

Output files

• wrfchemi_00z_d01 netcdf file with attributes, dimensions from wrfinput and emissions from wrfem_00to12z_d01
• wrfchemi_12z_d01 netcdf file with attributes, dimensions from wrfinput and emissions from wrfem_12to24z_d01

Domain namelist

Contains the dimensions of wrfem_00to12z_d01 and should be the same in wrfinput
