date_table error for the LISTOS emission data

[Maryam Golbazi]

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to run anthro_emis for the LISTOS campaign data which is based on EPA NEI 2017  emission data. The LISTOS campaign is provided for the year 2018. 

When I run anthro_emis, I face an error that says "translate_table: date type all not in table; terminating".

I know the error is about the "smk_merge_dates_2018.txt" file but I am not sure what it is or what table it refers to. I attached my input file and the two "merge_dates" files I tried. 

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. And, if anybody knows what the best way to create the dates file accordingly.

Thank you,

Maryam

Dear Maryam, 

The EPA_ANTHRO_EMIS does not work on years other than years (e.g., 2017, 2014 etc.) for which NEI emissions are available because we need to preserve the day of week variability in emissions. I suggest you create the emissions for 2017 and then map to your 2018 time period. I'll be happy to share an IDL code with you to map the 2017 emissions to 2018 preserving day of week profile. 

Thanks,

Rajesh

Hi Maryam, 

I have tried mapping for other years using the NEI 2017 data by manually updating the Date, Date Format, day of the week, day number, and holiday dates of the targeted year (2018 in this case) in the smk_merge_year_change sheet. You can then copy the New dates which are matched to the respective 2017 dates to the smk_year file. 

Taking a look at your smk_2018 table, this may not work because the dates in the required headers are showing for 2018 rather than 2017. You can try the attached smk_dates for 2018 and see if it works. 

Thanks,

Akinleye

Dear Akinleye,

Thanks for your response. I tried the date file you attached here but unfortunately, I get the same error message.
